Human Prey A New Comic Series

but seriously, this sounds like another one of your things you do when you get bored. I like Human Prey a lot, it's my favorite feature on the site, but is there really a point in making a book outta it? The sad truth is - and you know this - there isn't a market out there for it... right now.
That's what i think, anyway.
As for the recently posted comics, they were up to standards. The strips show a type of humor that exists outside your more 'cynical' fare, and therefore tends to be more endearing. But analyzing it too much can take the 'magic' out of it, so no more.
The last thing i'll say is that even though the hand-drawn one didn't do much, i'd like to see the next few done the same way.
blah blah blah.

And say what you will about the book idea. Most of what you stated was assumption, and in no way based on fact. I am, in fact, very interested in publishing a collection of strips in a book format. "Market" doesn't really mean a damned thing to me. Having published work, however, does. I have confidence in a project, and decide to make it available as a legitimate work, and suddenly no one seems to care about it aside from me. Well, that's fine. People get started somewhere, and this happens to be me trying to get started.

If you are to publish a book, please, PLEASE, put in "Potato".

As far as my favorites go: (in no particular order)
Science Fiction
Canabalistic Vegetarian
Fruit Inspector
Camel Toe
Cinnamon
Kamaikaze sheep
I like more, but I tried to narrow it down.

Most people are familiar with the old gag of sending a new guy on a wild goose chase. In highschool football the coach would always send the young manager off looking for the "brick stretcher". In the chess club it was the "board leveler". In kitchens its the "bacon spoon". When a new guy comes in straight from culinary school its a normal practice to feign being busy (or even in a real rush) and order him to get the "bacon spoon". Not wanting to feel ignorant he/she tends to run off looking for an object that fits the description. When unable to find it the person returns and asks where to look. The proper course of action is to either point in a random direction and tell the person to hurry up, or in the case where I work to ask the dishwasher. Our dishwasher is from Pakistan and his english is limited, but being in on the joke usually blathers off some uninteligible garble about where the bacon spoon is located. It maybe cruel, but its fun for all. (unless it happens to you)

Also, Fruit Inspector was a shoe-in as well. It's the only one that really makes me laugh.
Also also: I always appreciate the words of praise, Hero. It makes me feel fuzzy.

That last part feels like I was signing some guy's highschool yearbook... sheesh.
Also, will Bacon Spoon be featured any more than he is now? Will he even be (dare I say it) an irregular character? Speaking of goofy super heros, I have an umbrella head issue to continue. I'm such a lazy git.
