I've spent the past couple of weeks finalizing the second book, and getting other things squared away. Updates will resume momentarily.

Internet Superbuddies is another obnoxious comic that relies on inside jokes and 'had to be there' events, coupled with clever lies and Flash-in-the-pan humor to formulate a bi-weekly comic through the miracle of the interweb.
Heavily biased towards those with a penchant for video games, Star Wars, blatant swearing and violence, and is generally off the
wall. Sometimes it's even humorous, but it's nothing I'd promise. And I write the damn thing.
Stop by the Internet Superbuddies main website for a FAQ, character profiles, and a freakin sweet flash intro.
poonipoonz: as far as lulu's sales go, well, if you want to go full color, and not a weird size (the book is 8.5x8.5. a big pixel. cute, neh?), and as long as you keep it short and concise, it should keep the cost down.
self-publishing seems to want to thrive on giving you the break on large print runs. I'm a poor SOB, and order one at a time, because, i don't have a lump of dragon gold i'm currently sitting on.
that means the price for the first book is way more than i'd want to pay (as the artist, myself.) to produce. I've wanted to order a bunch, but i wouldn't make any money off of them (particularly becuase i'd mark them down to a more reasonable $20.00, in an attempt to move them at a con. (maybe this year's megacon in central florida, if i cough up the cash for an artist's alley table.)
my recommendations is to work small. work practical. and if you can, order in bulk. Lulu will help with getting it listed on amazon for an additional price, and it can even be special ordered by most book stores (provided you dish out the cash for an ISBN, for about a hundred bucks.)
And no. I'm the only person that bought the previous book. :) I just wanted to be able to toss around the fact that i've written a book in the faces of people.
Everyone: There's big plans to release a hardbound 1-100 book on the horizon (possibly done by the end of the year) that will be in the market range of $50.00. HIGH, but not neccesarily too high for a book that's hardbound and archiving an entire year's worth of comics. Plus, you'll be helping me out.
Thanks to all who checked out the page today and reminded me that people look.
Quick question... Have lot's of people bought your previous book? Just wondering, cause I wanted to sell a drawn comic I made as well over lulu, but I just want to know how many people actually buy it over the internet.
