Looking at developing a series of product humor to enhance the various angles that exist when man and technology meet. This is a constant matter that will never go away. We will always struggle with tools that are aimed to replace our purpose in different functions. OH...the functions.
More then half the ideas I drum up for this comic panel is mustered from an everyday event believe it or not, If you really pay attention to behaviors and manners, you'll see humor poking it's head out doing and saying silly things. Of course you don't want anyone to know you can actually see humor itself---
Life is never perfect which is why any form of vehicle to imitate it, create it , or interpret it shouldn't be as well. There are too many people who try to think preppy but really isn't.
Mr. Boyce. I have been reading your comics for a long time and they have brought me endless amusement. However, I have found that the spelling and grammar in your strips is poor at best. If English is not your first language, I recommend you have somebody proofread your comics before you post them. That way you can present nothing but the highest quality work.
Also, why does all your technology have vibration lines? My hardware does not usually oscillate that way.
Jim - It's hard to hold on to good help especially these days. So readers like yourself don't throw in the towel on COMPU-TOON, we are working to make it a better product. If you know of any editors lurking around, send them my way. Last time I checked...English was my first language. Thanks for being a long-time reader.
Salame, No...I'm not in an earthquake zone. You must be talking about the way I place motion marks around the computer monitors and other devices in use. In some cases, that's to draw attention to the technical device in use and also make it the focal point.
All joking aside, would you be interested in a proofreader for your strip and blog? I charge very affordable prices and could put some polish on your work.
Putting all jokes aside is an impossible task for any true cartoonist. The door is always open for anyone who has special skills. Leave the polish at home.
What do you think cartooning is all about? It stretches and elaborates about reality. Look at characters like Henry or Charlie Brown just to name a few. Their heads are somewhat deformed as you put it.
I want to make something perfectly clear...Humor is designed to improve the way we see life. It helps to make us laugh at things we nomally would be frustrated about. Going back to the deformed head comment, I know that in some countries large size heads makes you think of undernourished infants suffering from all sorts of diseases. That's not my intention to ridcule such conditions.
I don't think that oversized heads are the issue. One of your reoccuring characters, a young boy with glasses, seems to have a significant dent in his head. That's where the "deformed heads" comment stems from.
Yes...I figure that was the origin. The character's name is Irving. He's the nephew of Simon. Irving came in later on in the development of the strip. I know someone with a shaped head like that...me. When I was a kid they used to call me watermelon head for the shape and because I would hang it to the side like it was heavy. I've grown into it but always have a hard time buying hats and caps. My hat size is a few sizes larger then normal.
Just finished a prehistoric angle of humor about the wheel. Very seldom do I break away from the present to visit the past...especially that far back. Couldn't resist.
I'm presently involved in several projects:
• The KeyPad Kid Project
• KPK Coloring Book
• Consultanting student journalists
• Barrington Cultural Arts Center (Board

ReplyDeleteMr Boyce, you made several comments in succession. Maybe you should make several new blog posts instead?
ReplyDeleteAlso, are internet goonish types lurking near your blog? I heard they've been gently caressing with your work a lot. It's surely aweful.
Thanks for your opened remark Mohd. Let them lurk. In this field, you
ReplyDeleteexpect animosity toward your work. It's healthy.

ReplyDeleteAre there earhthquakes in your country a lot. I see everything shake in your comic. In my country we solved that problem with technology.
Salame,
