Brilliant!

Suggestion, add a page with a name attached to each chareceture so we know which posters we are laughing at I recognize most of the ones on that set, but I want to be sure lol.

I'm sure they will just blame the dog; everyone does.

Wow, great comic guys! I never use exclamation marks, but I daresay this one warrants it.

It's funny how the people on this forum really do make the perfect cast of characters.. like Oilfinder is the perfect foil / denier / general naysayer (no offense intended).

I love how you cleverly work the avatars in.. like Pops' t-shirt, and Ludi with the cat.

Here's another idea for a comic.. how about "The Doomers." It would be about a family of Doomers living amidst clueless neighbors in suburbia.

EDIT: To help with the time issue of all the drawing, you could make a few stock close-ups of the characters (that could be repeated) just for the sake of having more dialog. Like, have a few standard poses for each character that you could cut and paste.

I'm not saying make the whole comic that way, just use it to give more back and forth dialog without overburdening the artist.

It's nice to see a comix about the crew here, but let's get real.

Its my favorite section of the newspaper.
Most of it, especially Sports, is only fit for the kitty litter box.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cbxer55', 'H')ow in the H-E-Double-Toothpicks is anyone supposed to know facts like that? Ceptin you, of course, the master of the unknown factoids!

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'll tell you something about me. I went to UC Santa Cruz as an Art Major. I had a solo show of my work once and the faculty gave me a thumbs up. They liked it. I woke up every morning at the crack of dawn to practice drawing straight lines and concentric circles just to develop hand-eye coordination. I could capture a likeness in 30 seconds. But they taught me nothing. There was so much I needed to know and none of them knew anything. In disgust, I switched majors to geology. At least that way I learned something.

God bless the artists. They are the geniuses who help us see the world in new ways.

[PenultimateManStanding]

Sure, but geologists tell us a lot more. What are those rocks doing there? Why are there mountains? What are they made of? How long did it take to build them? How long will they last? What are the time scales? What are those huge bone fossils? What used to be reality? I have no regrets about leaving art behind. The intellectual pursuit of geological knowledge is the best thing that ever happened to me.
