The capacity of the human being for utter stupidity is infinite.
If someone locks a door and then finds themselves outside unable to get in because of that locked door they have no business blaming anyone but themselves for finding the door locked.

Remember everytime you say "but I thought…" YOU'RE WRONG!a good rule of thumb.
Another one is to hold little or no value to the suggestion "why don't you just [fill in whatever] . . ." Any time "just" is used to mean simply, the user probably does not appreciate the situation.
How many pages of a comic a day is good?
I'm getting at least one done a day from pencils to inking to final product. I'm just worried that say fifty pages in fifty days isn't a good rate and that I should attempt to pick up the pace and get to two a day.
God. Im lucky if i can do one a week. You're motivated with this new project.
Also im getting bored of the internet.
Havent complained recently. Thought id do so there now.
You should do something wacky. And then complain when other people judge you for it.How many pages of a comic a day is good?

Like punch a kitten.
So i've been glued to xbox nonstop for the past few days. I'm a little crushed i can't put DLC onto my flash drive and play it(i'd have to mod the console which i'm not risking) but i have no way of actually downloading them with my connection…
The only place i know with fast wireless is school and…i dunno. I can see myself getting desperate and connecting it there but i have a feeling my school connection would block it. =__________=
Also i didn't realize how addicting achievements were. I do the most inane shite to get that annoying little 'BLOP!' achievement pop-up.

Well, there goes the next comic!

So I was working on this "a rough sketch a day" idea to make a 366 page book after a whole day.
Well, the moment I returned to work, the whole thing fell under and I was unable to draw regularly… sooo I dropped the idea.
Instead, I'm reusing these for a new Inkbook and I'm redrawing and inking one every day. I have JUST ENOUGH of these to make the bulk of the book and enough earlier pieces to fill up the rest of the space.
For the last three days I've been inking one piece, taking between one hour or one hour and a half (while listening to a podcast at the same time of such lenght).
It's fun to be drawing again!
My sister bought a car two days ago.
And was fired today.
Now she wants to move back in with our parents (where I live) in their small two bedroom house. And when she moved out and took her cat, I got two new kittens – and she got a new cat. So, between our households, we have seven cats. That's more than we have rooms in our home. 0_o And we don't have any space for any furniture, since my parents are selling their old house and moved ALL of that stuff down here.
I… don't know how this is going to work out. I've felt like a huge burden here for a long time, but I apply to jobs every day and nothing seems to be panning out. I don't know what else to do to help this situation.

Depends on what the project is for I suppose. I mean, a direct issue is only 22 pages and usually comes out monthly, so by that standard you're doing pretty well. By webcomic standards you're doing even better since most people seem to average a page a week.
@usedbooks- That's a shame about the job stuff. How about something else in the sort of field you're working at the camp ground? Like training to be a forest ranger? That could be a cool new way of life! ^_^
Don't know about your sister though…
@lefarce- one page a month man. That works for me!
Speaking of which…
I've had an update! Whohoo! Pinky TA has updated!!!!

You're selling yourself short there Ozone: some of your recent pages have run much longer than a month - an example I'm trying to follow right now. You're nothing short of an inspiration to me.
Lefarce - a page a day is a good standard for a comic pro, but that's just pencils, not inks. Try to slow down. Way, way down. Concentrate more on partying late into the night, every night - maybe work towards developing your own signature cocktail.
My artwork isn't very complex, so I usually get left with enough time to go through and ink and edit. I have too much free time.
Also I drink while I draw so theres two birds with one stone, right?
Does anyone know what the fuck kind of spider this might be, because the little bastard was crawling around in my trashcan. If it helps, i live in the desert, it had a purely black underbelly, and its body was about as large as a quarter with a two inch leg span.
Haha i was actually thinking about that after i posted that. It was almost sad how fast i pushed the comic out of my train of thought..i'll probably finish it by christmas.So i've been glued to xbox nonstop for the past few days.

I need to get the guide for ME2 today. My goal is to do every mission in the game now that i completed ME1. Only other games i have are Dragon Age and FF13. Not sure what games to get next
He was still alive when I took that picture, I just had to heavily poison him so he wouldn't keep running around. I named him Scott.
Then I smashed his spider brains in.
We get those here too, i believe they're in the tarantula family if that helps. They're pretty harmless (though i've never actually touched one to find out otherwise) >_>
So long as they're harmless I'll take that as a victory. I'm extremely paranoid of spiders, and of course our region of the county just happens to have a bunch of giant ones with varying levels of toxicity. Ever run into a brow recluse? I thank God every day that I haven't been bit by one yet.
i googled, and the closest i found was the woodlouse spider. but those looked more red. bleeehhhhhhhhh. spiders creep me out.
—————–
i slept 4 hours, woke up for 1-1/2, and then tried to sleep for about 3 hours, but just laid there. then i was like, i can sleep! and my alarm went off.
gonna be a fun day for the next 22 hours. lets see how many pusuhps i get.
Spiders never bothered me, but silverfish have scared the living shit outta me a couple times. For whatever reason, in Wisconsin the little bastards grow to be about 1"-1 1/2" long if they survive long enough. I've woken up with one crawling around right in front of my face.
As for longevity between updates, I declare myself victor over Oz. I've been on the current page for almost a year! And I have several signature drinks, most involving a bottle of SoCo and whatever else happens to be handy.
Looks like a wolf spider to me. There are a bunch of different species. Here's a picture of one I took a few months ago. I live in a temperate forest area, but the family is fairly widespread and adaptable.
Some of them get HUGE. They are one of the most useful spiders around because they are docile and don't harm people but they hunt all kinds of other spiders (including the nasty ones like recluses and black widows). I prefer they stay outside. If I catch one inside, I move it outside. Because they are so big, they tend to scare the bejeezus out of people. I used to catch them and "pet" them when I was a kid. (I was a weird kid.)
This one was on the wall outside the visitor center at the park. I convinced my spider-phobic coworker not to squish him. We have a very healthy (unfortunately) black widow population around there, and this is one of those nasty things' only natural predators.
@usedbooks- That's a shame about the job stuff. How about something else in the sort of field you're working at the camp ground? Like training to be a forest ranger? That could be a cool new way of life! ^_^Heh. Well, I work only 10 hours a week right now. I'm basically unemployed too. :( (Which is why I live with my parents.)
Don't know about your sister though…
My sister's studies and interests are completely incompatible with my own. (She has no desire to work alongside spiders and ticks or out in the sun – she's a red-head.) She has a degree in international studies and her last job was helping foreign students get their visas and paperwork to come to a college.
She has a job interview Tuesday not too far from out parents' home. (I, on the other hand, have not managed to land any interviews since February. Sigh. C'est la vie.) It's more important for her to find a job right now than me, though. She's working hard to get the proper visas and stuff for her Australian fiancee to get here and marry her. – Plus she has a car to make payments on.

My old house had shit loads of silver fish. I used to walk down stairs during the night to go to the bathroom and id stand in loads of them in my bare feet. Not the best feeling in the world but at least i whipped out a lot of them. Or so i thought until the next night i came down and there would be about 50 squigglin around the floor. And this wasnt a big room. It was a small entrance to where the back door of the house was. The worst was when id leave my laptop at the side of my bed and they're running around the keyboard or under it. From then on i put my laptop into a case before i went to sleep. They never seemed to interested by clothes though so they where fine on the ground.
Also i was gonna go eat now but that's that plan ruined.
speaking of silverfish . . .
Actually, this falls in the category of: Don't Let This Happen To You.
I spent a LONG time with my very good friend Google before I was able to identify the lovely creature I found in our basement. This was, of course, after I killed it. I thought it was part cat because I kept thinking I killed it, but it would continue to show signs of life. And scrunching things while simultaneously wanting to toss cookies is really not a good experience. Here the lovely is
This thing was nearly two inches long, by the way. And look at those antennae. I suspect it had teeth.
So it's a house centipede, and next to a rottweiler for house protection. It eats silverfish, and many other pesky uninviteds.
But I made sure it was dead.
