Tweet Tweet! Part Deux

Some of you may remember when I talked a little about Twitter last July. I just wanted to remind everyone out there that you can indeed follow my Tweets at http://twitter.com/Nortoons. Why should you follow me on Twitter? How else would you have been able to follow the progress of my embarrassing medical exam today? Or maybe you wouldn’t have missed the story about how some guys found an old Dalek from Doctor Who in a pond somewhere in England. I guess a more practical reason to follow me on Twitter is so you’ll know about any George news before anyone else, but let’s face it, you want to tune in for the Dalek news. I don’t have any problem with that.







New Items in the George Store!

There are some new items up in the George Store, so be sure to go have a look-see. I’ll be adding a few more in the coming days, but for now you’ve got a slew of new shirts and mugs to choose from. If there’s ever a George design or panel that you’d like to see on a shirt or mug, just let me know and we’ll see if I can’t whip up somethin’ real purdy!


BeaucoupKevin Reviews George

Kevin Church, writer of the comic The Rack and the man behind BeaucoupKevin.com, recently reviewed a bunch of webcomics which were tweeted to him on Twitter (naturally). Here’s what he wrote:

“It’s interesting that I read a big swath of a comic with the exact style of face that I hate and jokes that were pretty hackish without really feeling like I was wasting my time. Maybe it was the Two And A Half Men effect, where things are moving along just enough to keep you engaged even if you know there’s better out there.”

So while not exactly a glowing review, it’s nothing to complain about, either, and I appreciate the fact that Kevin took the time to read and review my strip. Plus, he enjoyed it even though he’s not a fan of (okay, hates) the style my characters are drawn in. I know not all art styles are for everybody–for instance, I’m not a big fan of manga art–so to win over someone who doesn’t exactly dig the artwork is a positive for me. Frankly, the comparison to Two And a Half Men? I’ll take it. Any show that’s been on the air for six years and still pulls in millions upon millions of viewers weekly is a success in my book.
