Meditations of a hack writer - Actual meditation
The Superman comic yielded some interesting criticism. Some I agreed with, some I still need to think about.
Meanwhile, I’ve already gotten a lot of great critique. I’ve got books to read, comics to check out, and I’ve written down about a dozen ideas that will require I play around with my pacing and style immensely in order to execute them properly. Not sure how many will...

Doctor Who Fans
bbcamerica:
Doctor Who fans please always know, we hear you. There has been an overwhelming response for the Doctor Who premiere screening today. We booked the biggest movie theater available in NYC, one that typically hosts blockbuster movie premieres. We wish that, like the TARDIS, it was bigger on the inside.
Thanks as always for your support.
What a piss poor response to what was a...

Meditations of a hack writer - L.A. Noire REDUX
As I’ve been processing the feedback and critique I’ve been receiving directly through tumblr and indirectly on ED, I had a thought on how to revamp the L.A. Noire strip we released last week. There were a lot of issues people had with this one - namely that we were late to joking about this game and that there are lots of games that have questionable physics when it comes to, say,...

So about a month ago, I pitched two scripts to Brent. One, I wasn’t sure about (where Morn from DS9 is at the Cheers bar) which he liked and one I loved that he passed on. My instinct is that people won’t like it and I expect to hear exactly why (which is absolutely…

My instinct is that people won’t like it and I expect to hear exactly why (which is absolutely fine, I’m trying to be as welcoming of critique as possible.) I’m putting it out there because I think the...

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write. I’d like to respond to a few of your questions and ask some of my own.
So, no, this is not my first time writing comics. It is, however, my first time writing a comic strip. You’re absolutely right. It does take a lot of work and I still have a lot of...

I look at ED and tumblr every day. I know it’s going to make me miserable, but I do it anyway. Why? I’m a grown man. What am I doing this to myself for?
It’s because I need all those people who hate my work to suddenly love me instead. Every time I put out a new brentalfloss comic I think, “This…

Panel 1 This is the worst walking pose I have ever seen. Is he walking or falling backwards?
I see musical notes near his mouth perhaps suggesting that Picard is whistling but his lips are closed?
Panel 2 It is abundantly clear that he has already missed the train just from looking at this…
Actually, this particular comic got a great response, especially from nerdy...

Not long ago (and maybe I shouldn’t even bring it up), Andy was getting spammed by people trying to “sell him a vacuum.” It was terrible and I imagine he went temporarily insane while it was happening… but it got me thinking.

I can’t find ANYTHING about this “Marcie Fleach” character from the new Scooby Doo series. Aside from a few offhanded mentions here or there, there’s literally nothing about here anywhere. Hardly any artwork, posts, pages, etc.
This is really weird. Is she a new character or something? Just premiered in the most recent episode or something?
