If dingo berries are not your style you can just let the publisher "TEA BAG" you.  _________________ Mung- When you don't know what to do with that dead hooker in your trunk.

The best way to break into the comic biz is to go onto a comic book message board, ask them for advice on how to get into comics, then act like a dick to everyone who responds to your thread. So... you're doing a damn good job, keep up the good work.

Step 1 - Go bald. I don't know how, acid or some kind of hair killer or something.
Step 2 - Eat. A lot. You should be creating half of Hostess' profits. If your aren't, you're not doing it right.
Step 3 - Grow a kick-ass beard. We are talking Grizzly Adams look going on here.
About now, you should begin to look like this:
(The white hair and beard are optional, but definatly help you in the long run)
Now, comes the harder parts.
Step 4 - Actually WRITE OR DRAW something having to do with "comics."
Artistically, the comic industry seems to be looking more for something like this:
and something less this:
As far as writing is concerned, all characters need to be more human, more ambiguous, and more questionable of their actions. The comic industry does NOT want this anymore:
Step 5 - Keep repeating Step 4 until you get noticed, or your Epic script ACTUALLY pays off.
Step 6 - Writer: Struggle for years and years and then, all of a sudden, land a big break on Daredevil. Ka-POW! You are a comic writer.
Artist: Struggle for years and years and then, all of a sudden, land a big break on the new X-Men book (actual X-Men, not spin-off), and Ka-POW! You are a comic artist.
If all else fails, work out the mouth and hand muscles and prepare for years of hard work and tossing the salad. _________________ ALL HAIL SKELETOR!

All kidding aside, this piece of JG Jones artwork really kicks ass.

Jeez, w coyote, you gotta have the most patience ever. This guy was insulting you two seconds ago. It's pretty damn decent of you to wish him anything besides plague or syphillis. Let's all give this guy a salute. _________________ hmmm... need something clever (scratches head)... hmmm |
