I don't really have one. Think that's the problem..?

I have no life. Comicking makes the long, lonely hours pass more quickly.

Can't beat the original Frank and Drac. Karloff and Lugosi were the best, and still are. There's a few offbeat horror pictures I like, such as "Doctor X" (1932) with Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray, "I Bury the Living" (1958) with Richard Boone, or "The Uninvited" (1944) with Gail Russell and Ray Milland. Arguably, "The Birds" (1963) is a horror film, and I like that one for sure. For newer horror, I'd recommend "The Changeling" (1980) with George C. Scott, or "The Shining." (1980) It may sound like sacrilege, but I never cared much for "Evil Dead" or Hammer horror. I definitely don't go for schlocky slasher stuff, or the garish gore that passes for horror these days. How many "Saws" are there now? One was one too many. The real horror is that they make that crap and distribute it.

Sort of. You'll find the long version here: http://autumnlake.com/about.html

Only if I could outlaw Fox News. They're not a real news service, so at the very least I wouldn't give them any interviews, and I'd instruct anyone in my administration to avoid speaking to them.

Uh... none that I know of! I've never been a big fan of Russian art or literature.

There's a bit o' Calvin & Hobbes in there. Maybe some radio shows like "The Great Gildersleeve," and some Jimmy Stewart movies.

It's sort of a mish-mosh of things. Probably a cross between "Destination Moon" and from "Miss Pickerell Goes to Mars." The Miss Pickerell books were mostly from the 50s & 60s, and all involved science to one degree or another. She went to the moon, a space station, under the Arctic ice, all kinds of places. Much of the science in the books doesn't hold up today, but they're still charming to read.

I'm afraid I don't have much of a freak. :C Maybe I just need more practice?

Louis Jordan & His Tympanni Five. If not that, Jazz, anyway.

No such luck. Just hafta finish assignments for art clases and stuff like that, which can cause the odd delay here and there.

Really don't know. I honestly just made them up as I went along. Their simplicity just means they're easier to draw!
I've been told that Robot 4 looks a bit like the Fugitoid from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or perhaps the collapsible robots in the junk shop in Phantom Menace, but I'd not seen the TMNT robot before, and I never cared for the bots in PM. I just knew Robot 4 would have a round head with the black center, and a prominent number on his chest. And robots look good with antennas. His arms and legs are sort of like tinker toys, because they just seemed to look "roboty."
The Grouchbot I knew had to be bulky and very metallic, sort of like electronic gear from the 50s. So he's really an old-timey robot like Tobor or the trash can robots from movie serials or something. He had to have a claw and light bulbs. And in keeping with the junky construction he has wheels like you may find on a wheelbarrow or a tricycle, and a head made out of a metal bucket. I guess if I had to do him over, I'd give him a metal jaw with big pointy teeth. -

Yes, I must Tweet!

Ha, ha! I'm not committed to singleness at ALL! And who said the ladies are virgins? Not me! But the nature of the comic is such you won't aren't leikely to see any shagging going on.

I guess for me it begins with the art. That's because it's the art that first gets my attention. Is it drawn well? Is the drawing consistent? Is there any variety in the character designs? Color used properly? Etc., etc.
Then the writing. If a humor strip simply isn't funny, that's a problem. Are the gags set up and paced correctly, or just sort of... laying there, like a corpse on the ground, rotting away under a hot sun? And then there's restraint. Some people simply don't have any, and it makes for lame comics. It seems for every star in the sky, there's a South Park wannabe cropping up. Because they only go for the throat, they never learn the subtleties involved in humor, which is the foundation that makes South Park and stuff like that work. They don't bother with learning anything, so their results just suck... ALWAYS.
So I guess a comic that says WIN to me is a comic that shows me the person making it gives a damn enough to take the time and make the effort to learn the craft on comicking, as opposed to just slapping something together or being all 4chan on steroids.
