Stick figures always remind me of the old Cynical Man mini-comics. You guys have any minimalist strips you enjoy?

Seeing 'The Batman' didn't go well. After an hour my wife and son said they weren't enjoying it, so we go refunds and left. Anyone here see it?

I have to buy tickets to Batman to make sure they don't sell out before I get them. It's weird to think there was a time geek culture didn't dominate things.

Sorry I'm a little behind this week. Family crisis. Totally bizarre, out of nowhere one too. One of those things that makes you think "Wow. The 5th dimensional beings writing my life are really running out of ways to torture me for their amusement." :D
Back to normal tomorrow.

I would love to write a musical. Sadly, I have no musical skills or training. My dream picks would be either "Action Adventure: The Musical!" from this strip, or a musical based on the 1980's 'Flash Gordon' musical.

So, do you think it's better to follow your dreams, and not achieve them, or better to be able to hold onto the "what if" factor to get yourself through the day to day? Is there a dream you wished you'd followed and haven't? Is there a dream you've follow and wished you didn't?

The Slipknot Rabbit from the other day reminded me that one of the webcomics I sent to my editor before My Cage premiered as a potential artist was called "Gothbunnies". I can't find anything besides this about it: http://www.thewebcomiclist.com/p/1228/gothbunnies

A Hot Topic buyer once approached Melissa and me saying if 'My Cage' was in more paper maybe they could try something with it. We told our then editor and he said "If we could get it in more papers we would've already".

Weird thought pattern leading up to this question, but: What are some examples of editors/studios. etc. changing something about a book, movie, tv show, comic, etc. from how the creator(s) originally wanted it that you've heard of?

I will say this, in a way I now miss the job a large part of "My cage" was based on. My current job is just run-of-the-mill, boring, awful.

Again, kind of based on a true story. Not a stranger, but my friend bought a guy on kind of a group date, and when she said her drink was too cold, the guy volunteered to hold it to warm it. That made me sad.

I hate sayings like "Don't get a big head" or when you say something nice about yourself and someone says "Oh, and you're modest too!" Nothing wrong with self confidence.
