dear comics,

try looking in the newspaper. the newspaper has a variety of jokes that you can use. plus, you can try and study the different types of styles people write in. if that doesn't work, why not try going online and finding tips there.

just an idea!

hope i helped!

The hardest part I had when I ran a comic site was getting the characters to the point of conflict. Basically what I would do would just be to write out all the scenes I could thing of even if they didn't connect right away and then go through and fill in the holes. I don't know if this was really a good technique or not but I always felt like it worked. As for drawing, I've always been a fan of simplicity. If you're going for strips, keep it down to basic lines, and solid colors. If you're doing something to the effect of Graphic Novel or multi-chaptered story, you might wanna pay more attention to detail. I think that covers everything...

First off... its not always the best idea to look at other comics for ideas... they get stuck in ur head and then u think about using something... comics are something to be unique in so one day right before u start to draw... clear ur haed and then the first thing that comes to ur mind... draw a comic about... whether it be a french frie or a girlfriend problem... or a girlfriend that looks like a french frie... whatever... peace peace

Try looking at other comic books for examples. Look at how the bubble things are placed, and how many words are in the bubble stuff..lok at the drawings..etc..just study the comic books to give you a good idea..
