Comixpedia had a good link to a story about an artist who appears to have ripped off an image from a Purple Pussy comic from five years ago, redrawn it and is passing it off as his own work. I'd seen the image used by a Livejournal buddy years ago and thought - what a funny panel. Well apparently, it impressed one artist so much he took it and is using it as his own.
PVP's Scott Kurtz suggested all artists use this panel in their comic to in essence, shame the artist who may have stole it for all eternity. I can get behind that. Besides, the quote would be perfectly natural coming out of Jessika's mouth in Taking Up Space.
Speaking of Comixpedia, it has really become a great site since its inception. I really wish I could contribute more to the site (I have done articles, columns and the occasional interview in the past), particularly since I became a newspaper reporter and really know how to work a story much better than when I contributed in the past. However, it is that very job which keeps me too busy to do much other writing.
Lastly, I discovered Joel Fagin's webcomic tutorial from a Comixpedia ad. Joel has some good advice on web design and several other aspects regarding webcomics, which any newcomer, or even many old vets would do well to read. |

Name: David W.
Home: Florida, United States
About Me: I'm a reporter at a Florida newspaper, where I cover city politics and draw editorial comics.
I'm also a cartoonist, how most of you know me, who draws Todd and Penguin, Taking Up Space and the occasional other titles, featured on KeenSpot.com.
I'm married (sorry, all you ladies interested in overweight guys who spend too much time drawing) and have a one year old son and two cats. Three of the above mentioned poop way too much!
This blog may contain a few more expletives than my normal stuff.
