That is a good question, and a difficult one. Although snacks do seem Rose’s go-to when things get tough, they don’t define her. Some of the strips aren’t about food (or her). But how do you elevator pitch a good-natured human? Mary Tyler Moore? Archie?

So the “food” line works unless you come up with something else. She IS a girl trying to understand adulthood, but that’s hard to say in a catchy way.

My thought at the moment, f.w.i.w., “Rose loves life and dessert. But dessert’s easier.”

Think about the backgrounds more. You have appealing-looking characters; you obviously enjoy drawing them. But you seem to rely on coloring to fill the rest of the panel.

Show more about the kind of building that O’Reilly works in (is it a lab or a bar). Show more trees or bushes or rocks around the beach. Draw some cool underwater foliage and coral.

You put some nice detail in the establishing shot in the first panel. Page 2, panel 5 has nice depth and detail. I suggest more of that.

Hi Jenn! Your pages are very clear and appealing!

If you’re choosing between “Blightrun” or “Aldwen Archives,” you might as well choose for the long-term. Neither is self-explanatory like “Evil Inc” or “Biff the Vampire.”

Have you considered an evocative, intriguing title, even if it doesn’t explain? ‘Hamlet’s Danish’ or ‘Girls with Slingshots’ makes me curious, even if I don’t know what I’m getting into.

But many webstrips have chosen to teach their audience to expect good things from the site, whatever the name. PVP? XKCD? You can too.

Great, I can read the strip! I love Kevin’s frustrations with his boss and executives!

You’re getting a lot of great feedback, here! I’ll probably just end up repeating it.

You described the strip as five geeky friends and I would have liked to see more of the other four, interacting. Kevin reacting to the funny setups is good, but I’m a sucker for characterization. Fondness for characters builds reader loyalty.

I see what Brandon was saying about the punchlines. For instance, the doughnut strip is very funny, but needs to be sharpened. Deleting Kevin’s last balloon and the doctor’s last (second) balloon might do it.

On the other hand, the “art is hard” strip — a very clever concept — needs something added. Maybe a third absurdist element walking into the last panel, just as Kevin complains.

The “storm/grocery” strip is quite timely, as I type with storm warnings on the radio in the background. That was one of the first pages I found http://kevstees.com/?p=1611 . That’s a readable size and resolution. If I could have found forward and back buttons, I would have been happy.

Great character design and a beautiful thick-and-thin line. I am not a gamer, but all of the strips are fun to look at, although obviously I only get a few (Wolfenstein being my favorite, so far, and Halo the most obscure).

Of the five navigation buttons, only RANDOM is working for me. It gives your site the appearance of having only one post.

I am suffering the exactly the same Color vs B&W dilemma that you are. I don’t have the time for color and feel more confident in my B&W creative choices. But, hey, B&W didn’t hurt PVP in its initial years. I’ll be interested if this debate continues.

It’s hard to comment without seeing the strips in question. I get your problem — you want to base a character on a real person who was black, male, sketchy, and employed as a super.

But if he is your ONLY black character, some readers may feel that’s a statement. Fred Sanford (if you know the reference) without Lamont and the others to provide perspective might be offensive.

I would not call editing your own work censorship. There’s nothing wrong with waiting until you have a good story to tell with more than one representative of a group.

But I’m writing as a male WASP.
