Who do you think is the best hero and the best villain in all the Pens and Tales comics?


I don't think anyone from my comic (Evilish) qualifies as a proper villain. But Rai is a big hero-type, obsessed with justice... even if he is technically an antagonist. I'll cast him as a candidate for best hero.

Ian from Red All Over could be best villain, he's psychotic. He stalks, he kills, he attempts rape, he makes life hard for the protagonists. He's not super-strong or magical or anything, but he knows how to be a proper threat.

Let's hear some more candidates. And give reasons.

I was hoping this wouldn't be a problem anymore after the forum went down and back up again but it seems it still is. I can't log on from my laptop, no matter what I try. I log in, and it takes me back to the forum main page, not logged in. I don't even get an error message or anything, its just like I never tried to log in at all. I've tried registering again three different times on three different e-mail accounts, but none of those accounts received the activation code. Since my laptop is my main computer here and where I do all of my RAO updating and forum browsing, its sort of a pain to have to ignore my forum until I'm at someone else's house or school or something, and I can't make any posts un-logged in. Please advise?

Thanks to Airaxen!

Can anyone else view FFC's main site?

It keeps coming up blank. I changed the index a couple of days ago, but it was working fine right after, because I checked to make sure the changes were in effect. That COULD the be the problem, but it seemed to be okay.

It's the only PAT comic that I can't load. But I'm seriously hoping it's just a glitch in my computer, so if you tell me you can view it, I'll be happy and won't mention it further. ^_^

Elsewise...

...help?

Anyone else going to MegaCon in Orlando, Florida the weekend of February 16th? I am. I'll be wearing my Rarebit shirt, if I can find it.

Are any of you familiar with this service for printing comic books (and other things)? I'm thinking of trying to print some comics with it, maybe even a segment of Evilish... but is it any good? It SOUNDS good... almost TOO good... too good to be true maybe? I want to find someone who's used this and ask them if it's as good as it seems.

Here's one thing that was just recommended to me today by someone who's used it, though.... http://www.modernpostcard.com/ You can get them to print up some post cards for you to use for advertising your comic or gallery or whatever. Kinda like business cards, but bigger. I heard good things about it. Personally, I haven't used it yet, but I just ordered their free sample kit so I can check it out.

One more question... I'd like to make prints of my artwork to sell locally. There's all these printing options and I haven't a clue what they'll look like. Is glossy like a photograph? What is matte? I need a recommendation or something.

This is a community for Pens and Tales!

I'll make it look pretty later.
