Comics Roast

Is this the end?

Why have there been a lack of posts?

I can relate to today's Grand Avenue (First panel).










If anyone would like to help "whore" my blog, that would be great!

I know many blogs start off very slow, but it has almost been a year since I started this one.

I can write well, I really can, I just don't put a lot of effort into my posts anymore because only one person:--Yellojkt actually makes himself "visible." He's got a great blog, and I actually try to learn from him regarding blogging. I'm not going to commit plagiarism in a Kayvaa Viswanathan way; my blog will always be about my thoughts.

  • Blog readers need regularity. I suggest you post every day. I also recommend a steady diet of Lockhorns in your roasts. There's just something about The Lockhorns that brings in posters. You also have many inane comics to choose from; they will furnish a never ending supply of roasting material for you. There's Family Circus, Hagar the Horrible, Hi and Lois, Beetle Bailey, just to name a few. Now get busy!

  • Thanks, for the kind words.

    Frequency helps. I get edgy if I have gone three days without a post. I also spent a lot of time developing regular readers by commenting on their blogs. You have to be your own best publicist. Just don't cross the line into annoying spammer type.

    My blog has kind of plateaued for readership and I get a lot of one time readers from Google hits because I have blogged about enough things. I am the number one Google entry for Ted Forth. Find a niche and go with it.

    Blogs are very slanted towards the first adopters. There can only be one Comics Curmudgeon. Everyone else gets by off his crumbs.

    Have interesting things to say and people will read them.

    Keep up the good work.

  • Kayvaa Viswanathan is a Harvard student that got a chick lit book published that turned out to be strikingly similar to other chick lit books by other authors...not just in plot but in nearly-exact sentences.

    Her claim was that their works has influenced her so much that she could no longer distinguish her thoughts from theirs. I suppose Marc's just trying to say "I like yellojkt, but I'm not going to morph into him."
