I can’t believe it!
50 comics already!
Let me know what you think of the comic in general, any and all comments/feedback is appreciated.
I think when I reach 100 strips I’m going to try submitting to a syndicate…
Update: Harpocrates23 explained the math a lot clearer…
He is 11 feet away travelling at 1.75 ft/s so based on D = v * t => t = D/v so t = 11/1.75 which means that t = 6.29 seconds away or 0.79 seconds over the cutoff point.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!
omg i am usually caught up in this awkward timing…. =)
i think you should allow the story to be told visually ratehr than through the text, or at least find a middle ground.
Maybe you can find a book that teaches the methods of a comic writer. =)
But overall i love your commic. it rocks!!! =)
Hey Stupid Inventor.
I get your comic by rss feed to my work outlook and I find it enjoyable. With only 50 strips (think about comic strips in newspaprs that have 365 a year..!!!) you are doing quite well. Cant wait till you get published
Thanks for taking the time to respond!
@moni_Bologna good point, I do tend to rely more on writing because im not much of an artist. But for this strip I like it the third panel the way it is, after the accident.
@Harpocrates23 Thanks! I hope to reach about 100 in the Summer and send in my best 24 to the syndicates…
I also might have another comic project coming up, not sure if it’s happening so I don’t want to jinx it.
lol This one is my favorite now!
.
I like your comic a lot. Its dorky (thats a compliment), funny, and it brightens my day
Actually a better way to show the Math would have been to say:
He is 11 feet away travelling at 1.75 ft/s so based on D = v * t => t = D/v so t = 11/1.75 which means that t = 6.29 seconds away or 0.79 seconds over the cutoff point. You should solve your equation with the variable you are looking for :p
BTW…why don’t you have a gravatar setup
We need your little Duck to distinguish your posts.
@The0Burger0King Thanks! Glad you like the comic! yeah this is one of my favorite strips!
@Harpocrates23 Good point, I updated the explanation!
I set up a gravatar! The Duck of course!
Finally the DUCK! =)
btw i think the last pane rocks. it really makes me giggle. =)
Nice…I was hoping for the Duck.
Also thanx for using my explanation
.
BTW, I am an Electrical Engineer so keep working hard to get there…only took me 11 years (two 4 year degrees and over 30 part time jobs later… :p )
@moni_Bologna ha, i didnt realize everyone loves the duck so much!
Yeah it makes me laugh too…
@Harpocrates23 Another Duck fan!
No problem, it was a good one!
Oh cool, you have two degrees in engineering?
I finish my BS in Electrical Engineering in December!
Yes…one is in Agricultural Engineering and irrigation systems (basically Mechanical Engineering on farm Machinery…don’t ask..but it was done in Greece and you don’t get that much of a choice in what you will study so it was either that or get a job…at the time) and one in Computing and Communication Systems which is bascially the Communications portion of Electrical Engineering (it was a branch of the EEE degrees to choose from).
Now I work in a totally unrelated field testing and Approving safety equipment like flame, fire, smoke, heat gas detectors and mainly work on toxic and combustible gas detectors. I don’t even do the engineering portion as I am in the perfomance testing department. Weird how life works out. But its fun and I get to travel a lot.
Goog luck with your degree (although us Engineers know it has nothing to do with luck..:) ). Any idea of what work you plan to do…or hope to do
@harpocrates23
Do you currently work in Greece or have you moved elsewhere.
@moniBologna
Well if you click on my name you will see my website… BostonGreekGeek…so im in Boston MA… :p Thats why i have my hobby business setup there.
Where are you located?
@Stupidinventor …and where are you located?
@harpocrates23 Cool, yeah, i hear a lot of stories like that from engineers.
I’m in my senior year of an BS in Electrical Engineering, and I would love to work in toy design!
I’m born and raised in Staten Island, NY, and I’m actually working on getting a weekly comic published in the local paper about the Staten Island Ferry!
I would love to have a syndicated comic strip, and then I think I would become a science teacher…
I always loved science and my science teachers. =) yay Fyz-zicks Club! (yes its supposed to be spelled wrong)
@harpocrates23
I am located in Phoenix, AZ… My link doesnt work yet because i am deciding on what artwork to put up there.
yeah, either a science or physics teacher would be great, because you can give great demos and really get the kids into it!
hmm, I might get a masters in education…
i need to get used to this reply thing. lol my reply is “Thats awesome! =)”
Well see, for now im just focusing on getting my bachelors, lol
lol yeah only focus on one thing. =) or you will go crazy.. like me. lol jk
lol, crazy is good
hee hee
i think so too. .. its exciting!
lol,
All I know about AZ is that it gets hot there….but then again Greece gets quite hot too
What do you do moniBologna?
BTW, I LOVE GREECE. =)
well, AZ is WAY more than just a hot state, we are hot people too, pun intended. =)
well, i am a full-time student (18 credits) and i am a full time employee at a place called The Foundation for Senior Living. i am the Real Estate/ Developmental Services Office/Finance Assistant. I am majoring in Film Practices and applying to major in Film Production soon. =) Wish me Luck!
Good luck to you in your Film career and to Stupidinventor in getting published. The only luck I need is to get a client in Japan or China so I can go out to their facilities to test (I have to go out to clients and test usually). Maybe I’ll get a client in AZ someday…any gas detector companies out there?
Gas detector companies? =)
What’s that?!? =)
I have a gas station on the corner….. =D!
As in Combustible and Toxic gas detectors. A quick google search gave me this: http://www.azic.com If that company were to call my company and request to have their H2S detector certified for performance I could quote them and come out there for 1 or 2 weeks and test it
OH!! i see.
That’s cool.
why did you go to greece for school?
My parents are Greek so when my Father left my mother moved us back to Greece. When I finished high school I had to get some degree and couldnt afford to leave the country so I studied what I got into after giving national exams (Engineering..just not Electrical cause in Greece you cant exactly choose what you study…it depends on a lot of factors money being the main one). When I finished that an oppurtunity came up to study electrical engineering with a scholorship either here in the US or the UK. My sister was in the US alreayd studying and I chose the UK cause I had a 4 year relationship in Greece and we agreed the only way to maintain it was for me to be close. She broke up with me the day I left so when I finished in England I moved to the US for work….phewww…long winded story
omg that sounds like an awesome story! =)
i love the UK. =)
you lived in a lot of the places i fell in love with lol
Would you ever move back to any of those places?
I had enough of the UK while I was there and would never want to live there again. Good from a distance. Greece is great to visit but not for work. Here is Great for work and ok to live (California laws and weather agree more with me). If I move back to Greece, it’s after I retire
Thanks!
Good luck to you as well!
I’m assuming there’s a lot of fart humor in you line of work?
Whoopee Cushions, etc.
thats awesome! =)
thats cool. I dunno if i am gonna move to Cali or New York.. it depends on whether i get a job with a production studio.
I’m not much of a traveler…
why not???
too much work involved… im happy doodling at home
lol, or just look on google
very true but i think an idea of what it may look like would be funnier
lol, I just tried to draw the statue of liberty for the side project im working on…. didnt come out so well….
…. that would be hilarious to see.
I love it when people draw a famous landmark and it’ very cartoonish
You should hopefully be able to see it, should be online in April!
that was for harpocrates23
I figured
Good luck to all to get what you need. Im lucky I did
thanks!! =) i’m glad you did
Thanks!
soultion: go through the handicap door were it stays open for 10 seconds
lol, actually in my school every building has one handicapped door that opens when you press a button.
Everyone just presses the button and uses that door.
Someone just drew an amazing comic dealing with this issue, I’ll be sure to post a link to it when the humor magazine posts it online…
