I'm not dumb, I just have a command of thoroughly useless information. -- Calvin, The Days Are Just Packed

I don't follow too many webcomics (Insecticomics and Darths and Droids is about all anymore -- Casey and Andy is no longer being updated and I've fallen behind on Comics In Disguise), but I do enjoy finding and reading new comics, especially if I like the premise and the art is enjoyable. And they're often funnier and more entertaining than newspaper comic strips, which I find have fallen in quality ever since Gary Larson and Bill Watterson retired. (Alas, Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes, we knew you...)

Thanks to the TV Tropes website, I've found an adorable and clever webcomic called Housepets. Yes, I stayed up half the night last night to read the archives, I'm a dork like that... :giggle:

For anyone who likes their webcomics with a healthy dose of cute, here's a link to the first strip -- [link]

I've been copying Christmas music to my computer's hard drive over the past few days, so now I have Christmas songs stuck in my head. It might be a bit early to get into the holiday season, but hey, I'm having fun.

I've asked this before, but I'm going to ask this again because I keep forgetting about it. Can anyone out there help me learn how to make an AMV? And please don't just point me at Windows Movie Maker and tell me "There's your program, go nuts." I'm pretty thick when it comes to these things and prefer a specific "Click here, stupid" to a vague answer. Is there a website that will show you how to make an AMV, step by step?

"I don't follow too many webcomics (Insecticomics and Darths and Droids is about all anymore)."

Really? I read the Insecticomics and Schlock Mercenary (you can look it up on Wikipedia if you want). And of course, a handful of manga.

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.

I support well-written, in-character fanfic!

I'm always interested in new webcomics, but I"m picky about what I read anymore. Will give Schlock Mercenary a look, though.

For the record, the artwork was really bad at the start, but it's improved greatly over the years. (And the artist himself acknowledges this fact in a note included with the very first strip.)

How well you react to some of the content depends on your tastes, really. (I personally find a fair portion of it rather amusing.)

I'm not sure if there's a website or something that can help but I've made a fan music video before and I know the bare basics. (nothing too fancy just a here's how i got it to work) I could maybe walk you through a semi-okay looking one. I'd show you the vid but I just now found that WB took it down. Yeah youtube thanks for letting me know... well if you want to see it I can email it or something, it's in FLV format though.

Ooh, I'd like to see it! And I'm not looking at making anything too fancy, just something basic. My e-mail should be under my "Devious Information."

And that stinks that YouTube took it down. Bleah... it's not like you're making a profit off of it...

So is WMM the program you'll likely be using? If it is, here's a simple tutorial from WikiHow -> [link] I've never used it so I know nothing. There is also good old trial-and-error random clicking until you either a) make something cool, or b) break stuff.

As to webcomics, I think I linked you to Commissioned before, but I'll link it again anyway: [link] I highly recommend it. Be warned the archives are HUGE, since it's five years old and for at least three of those years it updated daily (and has never missed an update during those five years ever).
