Need help getting creative juices flowing for my first comic

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah, I'll admit for 23 I am a late bloomer with this, but I feel like sometimes I wonder how the heck I could get a comic strip off the ground if I have no ideas whatsoever for even so much as a title. I figure if WP might be the place to go, why not, cause I need as much input as I want to get a comic strip off the ground. I was hoping to put together some sort of hilarious yet intellectual, original vibe of a comic together that would channel Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, Non Sequitur...something in that vein, maybe with two close female friends or just plain tied-like-a-knot best friend storylines, that kind of thing.
If you actually have your own comic strip that you do for fun or are a major coniessour(someone please correct my spelling on that) of good comics in general, you might come up with an answer right off the bat, but I'll take pretty much anything. I just think having a hobby that feels really productive for me as a visual artist will make me feel more confident.
Actually if I like what happens with my comic book work I may want to turn it into a comic collective blog--not really to do it for attention but maybe for the interest of knowing what comics interested which viewers, which I know is possible on Wordpress.

thanks everyone

Try Webcomic panelling with slideshow options.

Much more effective vs the traditional method.

Start on Flash CS3 and work your way up in knowing how to manipulate frames.

Okay, here you go....

The Adventures of Nanny, Goat & Murder Girl!

So, a nanny, her 4 year old ward, and a satanic/demonic goat are all caught in a Mad Scientist's lab experiment gone wrong! The nanny's mind is transferred to the satanic goat, the goat's mind is transferred to the toddler, and the toddler's mind is transferred to the nanny.... and hilarity ensues!
