I just went through and read all of the strip's in Mackillian's comic ADHD at MadOwl. They're hysterical - very well done. I highly recommend them.

Agreed!

I've been showing them to my friends too, and they love them.

Most people's favorite is: "It has a monkey on it."

I like the airplane one.

Because the only speeding ticket I’ve ever gotten was when I was looking at the clear blue sky and watching the pretty airplane instead of paying attention to how fast I was going. And, of course, it was a state patrol airplane.

Shhh. Don't tell him.

If anyone who is adept at photoshop coloring and shading wants to link me to a good tutorial, I've be very grateful. I have a more polished strip in my head and would like to learn the skills to be able to produce it.

Yeah, that so happened, too. A coworker told me: "She wanted TITANIUM rings!? Oh no, she wants Diamonds. Give her Diamonds."

me: "Uh... no, she really doesn't. Im pretty sure she would rather spend money on something else."

So naturally when she said exactly what I thought she would, the love was there.

Yep, it looks good. Referring specifically to the artwork in the last one. Although they all look good, truth be told. Except for one thing.

There aren't enough of them.

Seriously. 14 strips? How can you do that to me? 14 lousy strips? I need, like, a hundred. Or more. Sheesh! [ROFL]

Mack, I got edjected from the cursed place that is AIM, but I re-read your comics. You added a new one since Saturday?

I get the really obvious ones, the only ones I didn't get were the more random ones where the train of thought deliberately went off on wild angels.

I got most of them. My favourite is the blue cheese bagel one [Smile] .

Mack... great comic. Warnings should be placed prominently around them, though. I almost sprayed my keyboard with soda. [No No]

Ooo... and I like that tutorial. I couldn't draw a stick figure even if I had an actual stick figure to trace around, but I love to color with Photoshop. I find it relaxing to scan in an ink drawing, set it up, and add color and shading. Neat.

Oh, man, that's hilarious.

This comic reminds me of a conversation with my husband when we were first married.

Him: "I want a monkey."
Me: "I'm sorry, you what?"
Him: "A monkey. I want a pet monkey."
Me: "It's monkeys or kids. And since we're not using any birth control, you know what that means."

He chose the kids, obviously. [Big Grin]

I wish I'd been offered that choice. o_o

I don't get the one with the bottle, or the first one. But other than that, I find them highly entertaining. I think this latest one is my favorite.

You'll have to take it up with him. It takes me between 4-6 hours per comic, start to finish.

Right now, we're going on an actual DATE! Dinner and a movie! [Eek!]
