@Inkybat I knew you're digital. For some reason it just struck me what you're doing. I used to do it by dumping ink and scratching it off. about 3 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Inkybat
@Inkybat are you doing something like a scratch board technique? about 3 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Inkybat
@jamiesmart slip the difference. Write one page and eat cheesecake. about 7 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to jamiesmart
“@cracked: 5 Reasons Punisher: War Zone Is an Underrated Masterpiece - bit.ly/JJaGcN” still my favorite marvel movie. about 8 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone

Actually the comic I'm developing would sort of fit in "jug-punk". Good thing no one really follows me or I'd be worried they'd steal it. about 15 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
Then to make it really stupid we'll build ray guns out of pie pans and fence posts. Bindle sticks will have swords in them. about 15 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
At "jug-punk" cons, we'll gather in make-shift hobo jungles with beans cooking over barrels of fire, fence painting and fruit pickings. about 15 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
I think I'm going to start the phrase and movement called "jug-punk". We'll all dress like hobos and build cigar box instruments. about 15 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
With my beard and weight loss I can now cosplay as Bluto from Popeye, or Mr Edwards from Little House on the Prairie. about 15 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
@Inkybat Thanks! I like to think of it as moving from Wimpy to Bluto. Probably never make it to Popeye though. about 15 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Inkybat
Hurray I'm overweight! I've lost enough to move out of the obese range! about 16 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
@LincolnGriffin comics too. I think it hit that right blend of 70s serious grit and the coming 80s MTv generation. about 16 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to LincolnGriffin
But what do I know. Alls I draw is white guys and dead people. :/ 7:38 PM May 27th via Twitter for iPhone
There are differences of course, but before you write a woman or minority, first write a character with a personality and goals. 7:37 PM May 27th via Twitter for iPhone
Like in Night of the Living Dead, the guy want written as black, just cast that way. It adds as much weight to the scenes as you bring. 7:35 PM May 27th via Twitter for iPhone
And a good lesson for writing strong women? The Ripley character wasnt written as female. Just a solid character cast with a female. 7:34 PM May 27th via Twitter for iPhone
Watched the original Alien today for the first time in years. Even better than I remember. I'd put it up against any movie today. 7:32 PM May 27th via Twitter for iPhone
