An idea for a FanShot

I was considering doing an MS Paint-themed comic series for Amazin' Avenue. I haven't done an MS Paint in a while (and I've been kind of bored lately), but I thought of this idea and already have 2, possibly 3, great ideas for a newspaper-style comic strip. Issue #1 (pilot) is underway. Hopefully, it doesn't suck. If this works out, I'll do these probably every (other) week, or whenever there are major developments.

OK.

Just remember to make another FanShot to remind everyone before you post it. Otherwise, we all might miss it.

Just so you know

I was considering eating my lunch at noon, but then it’s a really long time before I eat dinner, so I might wait until 1 to eat. I’ll let you know when there are major developments.

I was thinking about making a Fanshot to document my bowel movements.

I was considering making a snarky comment about this fanshot

I’m kind of busy at work but if things work out, I’ll come back and comment, no promises, hopefully, it doesn’t suck. If my comment works out, I’ll probably create another account and rec myself.

oh god, everyone sharing every detail of their day.... Amazin Ave has turned into Twitter!

Look forward to the comics though.

I think we need SiteBot for FanShots now.

Although its just an idea, hopefully it doesn’t suck. I’ll let you know if there are any major developments.

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

I originally posted this FanShot just to see what everyone thought of the idea – that’s all. I’m not scared of my FanShots being overlooked at the slightest! (As evidenced by Coeur’s Light) The last thing I would do is to blatantly advertise for attention.

In the meantime, I’ll discount these praises of sarcasm.

Note to self: advertising before hand is a no-no. If that interview segment taught me anything, it’s that it’s usually a bad omen.

So...where's this comic strip eh?

I support Jenrry Mejia as a starter. Screw you Jerry Manuel for thinking he's a set-up man.

by EMSfan9 on Jun 12, 2010 5:22 PM EDT reply actions 3 recs

It's definitely in the works

But I’ve decided to keep the progress a secret. Also, it doesn’t help much that my scanner is having technical difficulties.

All I can say about the actual comic, is that there will be four panels, and it will resemble a newspaper comic strip a bit. If the first issue doesn’t work out so well, there’s no good reason to come out with a second one, so I’m not gonna screw this one up. And new ones will be few and far in between, so the idea doesn’t get old – It’s simply better that way.
