Altermeta is a great scalie comic. Good art, good plot, and it comes out well... sometimes there's a month or two between comics.

Altermeta has been updating? Woot!

Yeah ^_^ And the art in the new storyline is greatly improved as well. Also, no Plot In A Box so far...

Huh! Hafta check it out, then.

Actually Altermeta *was* good but then hit all the furry comic speedbumps:

- Characters based on friend's characters who de-friended and withdrew the right to use that character
- Caz got bored and the plot started to wander. He decided to make it "serious" which is the kiss of absolute death for a comedy strip.
- Did a full 100% re-boot where nothing but the name and the vague similarity of the species was retained.
- Can't get it together to get out a page more than once every two months.

So, it's bad to force a strip out to meet a deadline, and it's also bad to take the time you need to get it how you want it?

It's bad to say "OK, I'll update weekly" and then wait a month and a half.
That's why it's a "Schedule". It's not about "getting things right" its' because Caz just doesn't do the art.

Are you even remotely aware of Caz's RL situation? If not, please don't comment.

You don't seem to understand the progression of cause and effect here.

Huh?

The point he's trying to make is, don't set a schedule you can't keep. updating once a month is fine, as long as you SAY you're going to update once a month. Telling everyone you're going to update every other day and then not updating for three weeks kind of irks people. The timeline doesn't matter, it's whether or not you do what you say you're doing.

Old post is old. I don't recall Caz making any sort of timeline suggestion for the comic, especially after the reboot.

Is it sad I want to know what the thing is saying?

Basically it's a complaint about artists who have two poses: Side on and full frontal, who fill the panel with a ton of dialogue in eye strainingly small fonts, and who basically are doing their characters nude most of the time because it's all just poorly drawn fap-fodder to cover for the lame plot.

Oh no I meant the thing as in the creature talking about something that I cant read. Thats what I meant :3

You lost me. Remind me again when I'm awake.

That's exactly what is says. The dialog in the comic is self-referencing to the comic it's in.

Pime taradox.

PS. Why'd you censor the first one, but not all the ones after it? Doesn't that sort of invalidate the purpose of the censor bars?

Not if the censor bars are a post ironic pastiche of themselves because censor bars take otherwise mundane details and make them more alluring through the use of taboo.

Orrrrrrr I forgot about them and added them in after I'd done the right hand side and forgot they wouldn't be there.

One or the other.

*ROWaterbedLOL!*

Win.

It's surprising the mount of people who think I had someone *specific* in mind with this strip. I didn't.

If you didn't, read Badly Drawn Kitties. It's funny as hell, but it meets every single criteria you're addressing here (minus the porn aspect).

I've seen it... I stopped reading it after a while, it was just too painful

Hah!

Thank you for your vote of humour.

Very well done.

Glad you think so! :D

Actually, you did an excellent parody of them to the point I gagged on my evening tea while looking at it, much as I do at the others.

Ah, making one's readers choke and inhale hot beverages into their tender lungs - what more can I ask for in recognition? :D

Always fun to see your work Cupro... and Altermeta is back? Woot!

If by back you mean "about 5 pages of the prologue, one of which is a filler for a character who's in two panel" which has taken so far, a little under a year to produce...
Yes.

Uh...it's on strip 29 now, which over a year, amounts to more than one every two weeks. That's a bit better than most :P

Hoo!

So true XD

Egocentric? I actually thought it was just a playful stab at yourself :P All good ^_^

At first, I was deeply disappointed that I wasn't going to get my long anticipated and longed for Sunday dose of Cuprohastes humor, then I read what you wrote, and laughed with delight (and some good Sierra Nevada weed). I'm an Asper and hence tend to take satire completely literally. OK, I'm proud to say that I figured that this was satire well before the end:

For yours, I had to read your words before getting it, but when I did - whooo hoooo!!! Thanks!!!!

Yes. I staired long enough to know what she's saying. My eyes hurt you now. ... or something,

Metarofles!

I agree, by the way.

actually, no not completely. She needs a penis!

I wanted to do the absolute basic "I have no idea how to draw anatomy Y with a line" that you see.

don't forget the bad nudity art done by minors! X3

must know what you think of the comic Jack

It was OK... sort of meandered a bit and eventually I gave up reading it because it was too hard to follow. I always thought I'd just leave it a while and then go read through it and catch up...
