Should I or Shouldn't I?

If I were you, Durandal, I'd take the offer. If you have a talent for it, you never know when you'll be at odds and wish you had the money or the fame that comes from being in print. And it could lead to bigger things. I'm a biologist in the broadest sense, but I don't work in a lab any more. I'm also a folklorist and a writer, and although I don't make that my career, I've seen a few pennies from being in print, and the public likes it. Remember: Art belongs to the critic, not the artist.

BOOM!

Hm ... it seems I've misinterpreted their offer. The original E-mail said, "$16 every two weeks." I simply took this to mean one comic every two weeks at $16/a pop. Apparently, they want to retain me for once a week. The only thing I can think is that they want to pay me $16 every two weeks for one comic per week, which is a fucking joke, especially since I'm making $10/strip weekly right now.

So you now see that you should have followed the 100% poll without question because when that happens, we are without a doubt right.

Doesn't look like this is going to happen. They haven't E-mailed me back and they were already advertising in my regular spot. Oh well. More free time for me, which I really needed anyway.

Fangirls? I can imagine some nubile young lovely (NYL) coming up to Durandala nd saying "Please Mr. Durandal, draw on my [CENSORED]"

I try to spend as little time in my floor's bathroom as possible. If you lived here, you'd understand why.

It's times like these that make me so happy my dorm room has its own bathroom

It didn't happen in the three months I did the thing. I guess I could always offer to draw them in my pseudo-quasi-anime style.

By the way, my real name is in my sig.

Should I do the strip bi-monthly for $16/strip?
