Done streaming!
Thanks for watching me finish inking page 117! I recorded the stream for people to watch who missed it:
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/16988977
The video quality got slow and kind crummy half-way through, not sure why. I’ll try to fix that next time.
Also was listening to two of my pandora stations mixed together, which is why ads interrupt the audio.
Ustreaming while I ink and listen to music! →

cherryvision-deactivated2012011 asked: You keep talking about things that are going to happen like it won't happen for a while. How far ahead have you planned? Is there a definitive stopping point where you'll just be done with Love Me Nice? If so will you start another project?

Anonymous asked: You said: "I always feel kinda sad when people say Praline is their favorite, because she is a minor character and half-way through the story, she becomes a sorta ghost. She still makes appearances, but she’s just not a major player in the story." -- Then alter accordingly! Mo subplots is good

pulsemap replied to your post: Also, Praline is my favorite.
I figured as much. I like to think that she keeps busy having her own awesome adventures. :) Following very closely behind her is Kelly (who I am assuming plays a more major role?)
The 4 main protagonists are Mac, Claire, Carolina and Kelly, so yes.

pulsemap asked: You know, every time I see Fran's last name, I think it says "Human" for a second, kind of like how Mac's last name is Monkey. Also, I'm re-reading love me nice, and I gotta say, it's amazing! It flows so much better when you're not waiting a few days between each page.

Here’s the process behind making the 200th page of Gastrophobia:
Thumbnails are the scripts for a comic. This is my first step. Some people write a prose script first. I don’t. Both are valid methods.
The thumbnails are literally drawn at about the same size as a thumb. In the case of this…

qwilman asked: Swear to god I'll leave you alone after this, but after seeing the adoption talk and running through the archives today, I just wanted to say I found out the exact same thing Carolina did at the exact same age. The two of us are kinda in the same boat as far of being distantly curious but too wrapped up in the wackiness of life to give it any serious thought. Sometimes it sorta feels like...

tanukitsune asked: I don't know if this has been asked before, but do the toons in Love Me Nice follow classic toon tropes? If you drop a piano on them, will they just see stars and play a silly tune on the keys stuck in their teeth or die? Or can they pull items, like frying pans or mallets, from behind their back?

amischiefofmice asked: Hey! I love your comic, and I love how much you talk about the behind the scenes writing process. It makes me feel a lot better about my own stories when I see people who have made something I really like talk about the same kind of worries I have! For a question, are we ever going to learn more about Carolina's birthparents?

Anonymous asked: As an adopted person who watches over and works with other adopted kids and their families, I'm sorta offended that's you'd compare it to rehabilitation. Yes, there are sometimes kids who get into bad stuff while going through foster care, but it's definitely not a majority. Maybe I'm just being defensive, but it sounds sorta belittling to my family, and the families of...

qwilman asked: Also sorry if those are really annoying questions but I always wonder that with stuff about toons interacting with humans. LMN is one of my favorite comics on the web and reading about you pulling it off in the middle of work really helps invigorate me with my own attempts to get stuff done.

qwilman asked: ALSO addendum to my last question: What were Toons like a hundred years ago before animation began in our world? Maybe they just looked like elaborate etchings of Taft or something?

qwilman asked: I always wondered this in Roger Rabbit so answer for LMN. If I go to Japan and meet Toons living there, do they look more like Sailor Moon and less like Mickey? Are there "races" among cartoons as we bleed into different styles of animation? Are there weird cubist Clone-High styled toons wandering around Seattle right now in that world, and if so were there in the 40's and 50s?
