No Milton and Jen?

Hey all, just letting you know why the new review is in the old style and not the Milton and Jen Illustrated Review one. Well, here's why: drawing takes time! Heh. And coloring. And lettering. And I'm still trying to figure out how to present the illustrated reviews and make them interesting and not just a cheap gimmick. I still enjoy doing the regular written reviews though, which ARE more professional. I might keep doing it this way anyhoo. One illustrated, then one written. Anyway, enjoy the new review!-Jack

Milton and Jens Reviews: Stud Kickass!

Well, here we are with the very first illustrated review! Yep, this is the new approach I wanted to try. So please, give these characters a chance, and let me know what you think of Milton and Jens Reviews. Click to enlarge! Also, I'm not so sure I want to keep this new style on this site or create a totally new one for it. Feedback is vital! And be sure to check out Stud Kickass to see what all the fuss is about! Enjoy!

Dun Dun Dun.......my laptop is back and working!

Yep, my brother and I just about an hour ago uploaded an antivirus from his cpu to my laptop to defeat the AntivirusXP2008 monster that has plagued my cpu for the last few weeks. While it still attempts to pop up, it doesn't slow the computer down anymore, so all I have to do is click it off the screen. HA! I do believe it had something to do with some sort of Trojan horse virus as well. Gah I hate that stuff! Anyway, the laptop is at least functional now, and I can get back to doing comics and using Photoshop and my Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet(my baby!). Wow. I never knew how much I would miss it until it was gone. And yes, I do have a girlfriend. Ahem. Now, to get crackin on that new review!!!! I've also already started on another one in the new style, because I felt compelled after reading over this other comic(hint: it has to do with games. Ha!). So that's two new ones almost ready, with two more comics lined up after that. And I'm going to get working on a new review for Comic Fencing to be up Friday. Busy? Nah, that's my life! So how is the contest submission coming along? See you guys later!

Contest update: Ad sizes

Hey, I got a comment recently about what sizes to choose from when making a contest submission, and I guess not everyone uses Project Wonderful, so I'm going to post the sizes right here.

Button: 117x30
Square: 125x125
Half Banner: 234x60
Banner: 468x60
Rectangle: 300x250
Leaderboard: 728x90
Skyscraper: 160x600

I hope that's enough info, but if not, all you gotta do is comment and ask! Now get to work pronto!

Sneak Peek!

I finished the new review, but until I get my wacom tablet and photoshop AND scanner put onto my girlfriends laptop(mine is sick with a virus)it's going to have to wait to be put up. I MIGHT do it tomorrow, and have it up Wednesday, but we'll see. Until then I have a sketch of a character that will appear in the reviews. Ooo, who is he, what's his name, and why does he seem to be concentrating so intently? Find out soon..

Less is more!

Hey all, just letting you know that I dropped the Project Wonderful square ad space for awhile because it was just too cluttered looking, and they weren't getting a lot of bids anyway, so I'm going to just stick with the single tower for awhile. If I get enough bids or requests, I'll put up some new adspace eventually. Also, I'm thinking of trying out a new style of comic review with my next one, sorta more comic in tone and visual presentation. I was on The Webcomic List earlier and reading about more ways to attract readers in this day and age of nanosecond attention spans(I'm not talking about my regular readers, wink!), and it's going to be a really tongue-in-cheek approach. Let me know if you like it when it's up. Later!

NEW CONTEST!!!

That's right folks, it's been a long while since our last contest, the reason being only a lack of interest in the last one, with only a few people entering. That definitely made me think THRICE about doing another one, but I just can't stay away! I do so enjoy putting them together and seeing what you guys come up with when you flex your creative muscles. So, here we are. What's this one about? Here it is: I want YOU to design my next Project Wonderful advertising banner! Easy, right? I know how I enjoy making new ad banners and seeing them plastered all over someone else's website, and I know you do too. If you're familiar with PW then you're also familiar with the dimensions of the different ad boxes. Buttons, skyskrapers, towers, etc. Well, you can submit any of the sizes, and as many as you want. Chimpy does not have to be incorporated into the design, unless of course you want to use him. You can be funny, or you can be serious. You can make a point, or just have an eye catching image. You can use just text, chimpy, anything you want, as long as it promotes the site. Anything goes! What about prizes, you might wonder? Glad you asked...

Prizes. We all want em. But what can you win if you're the lucky one picked? Lessee....how about...you move to the top of the heap to have your comic reviewed! That's cool, right? And also...one of my patented interviews for the site! Great, huh? I'll also throw in your banner for your site permanently displayed on Webcomic Asylum. That's a good one right there. One last thing. I rummaged through my collectibles and found something you might salivate for. An original 1988 copy of SHINOBI for the Sega Master System!! What hardcore gamer wouldn't want to get his mitts on this puppy? After dusting it off I have to say you will be amazed at how many more dates you get when flashing this trophy around. Just to whet your appetites here's the butt-kicking description for this crowd pleaser...
A NEW Sega arcade hit comes to life on the Sega System! You're Jo-Musashi, a mild-mannered martial arts instructor. but yuo have another job as well. When duty calls, you're a Master Ninja! YOUR MISSION: An evil terrorist network, the Ring of Five, has kidnapped the children of the world's leaders! You must get the hostages back...and defeat the Ring of Five!
They're waiting for you with gunmen, thugs, mongos and green ninjas. But you alone have the power of Ninja Magic! It's arcade-like action...only from Sega!
Okay, now that you've picked your jaws up off the floor, just remember the contest starts today, July 31st, and ends August 31st. Wait...you're still sitting there? Get your butts up and walk around in circles coming up with ideas! Can't wait to see what you come up with! Go to PW to get ad sizes, and send jpeg format entries with your name and website(if you don't have one just your name) to uncaringmachine@aol.com. Have fun!
