you can make a comic

Remember being a kid and making home made comics. You used white paper, brown paper, loose leafed lined and created!

you folded and stapled them just like the big time publishers and voila!..

nowadays with the internet and photoshop and independent publishers you can have a professional looking comic just like the pros. even from a webcomic

supply a publisher with your comic and they can print them but they need to be print ready..


when we say print ready what do we mean? well they should be in what ever format the publisher wants:    tiff files, pdf files, jpeg etc...

the art should be finished and free of typos and the files should be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch)

most publishers have templates to help guide you but once they do you will have a slick new comic

a few good publishers are: ka-blam digital printing and grekoprinting-comixwellspring

google chrome has a popup problem

I use a lot of browsers and one of the worst at blocking popups is google chrome.  Technically
you can block popups in the settings of google chrome but in action it does not stop them all.

just today i went to a site and there were popups after popups and i even had the site in the block popup list. for my money the best browser for blocking popups is internet explorer. And when i say for my money i mean totally free browsers

The Truth about Welfare

Demonizing the poor is a popular sport in a lot of countries especially the United States. And while there is always those that are lazy or criminals who abuse social safety net programs most are just unfortunate underprivileged people. Those on welfare are looked down upon but what you know about welfare may not be accurate. I recently read a interesting story that could shed some light on the myths around welfare

the truth about welfare

slippin into darkness 2016

somehow the title of the WAR classic hit song seems apropos right now. Donald Trump has been elected the next president and i have to say i am stunned. I'm totally flabbergasted!. One of the most divisive candidates in the history of American politics won, in the modern age when most politicians hide their true feelings and put on the best face he did no such thing.

Described as racist, sexist, ignorant, misogynistic and the antichrist by some and people still voted for him. Nothing he said or did seemed to matter. nothing about his character mattered. nothing about his policies having no substance mattered, America just wanted a man in the white house. I wonder if Bernie Sanders would have won, i don't know but this is embarrassing.

The world is laughing at us and afraid. its not partisan speaking, even republicans were against him and yet here we are. the things he said didn't matter is all i can echo. the self same things Obama was derided for being when he ran, trump was exactly that...and yet FOX news embraced him.

he was a celebrity, tv star, no experience, elitist, anti-woman, anti black  and mexican candidate....And he still won

He was openly supported by racist which he was slow to denounce....and he still won

Some times the bad guys when, i guess that makes victory for good all the more special.

the worst thing about it is that the man he disrespected has to turn over the office to him. Of all the things Barrack Obama  should do...he wont, he will be respectful to someone that questioned his intelligence and American citizenship because that is who Barrack Obama is and was as a leader...something Donald Trump could learn from
