My Tumblr Web Comic

My latest project has been a web comic entitled "Karl and Karl" about two 3rd grade best friends. I would love if you kept an eye out. Especially if you have a Tumblr already!!

To visit it, check out karlandkarl.com.

Also, I have decided to update MWFs (even thought I started with daily approach because I was so excited!

Thanks for taking the time to look at it!

Well done on getting stuck in to making a webcomic! That's really awesome!

cARtOoNer on Jan 19 '12 at 7:46pm

I am not sure I like how you phrase "getting stuck in to" but ya, I am really excited and I figured going all out and getting the domain and everything will only motivate me more to keep it going.

Also, if I start to have any followers or even any fans at all, it will keep me on top of things!

cARtOoNer on Jan 19 '12 at 7:50pm

Hope that my last post didn't double post, or not get posted... my internet is screwy right now... test?

NCowick on Jan 19 '12 at 10:43pm

Don't have tumbler, but I'll definitely follow your comic. Great style to your characters. Goodluck man.

Thomas Orrow on Jan 19 '12 at 10:52pm

Nice one. Just commenting so I can check this out later.
I really want to make a webcomic someday too.

The other way I saw somebody do it was Jess Fink. She had a webcomic powered by a Wordpress theme.

cARtOoNer on Jan 20 '12 at 10:30am

Thanks NCowick, and ya Thomas I will check out Jess Fink and see what she has done for sure!!

My Friday comic is up by the way!

Resistance on Jan 20 '12 at 10:32am

The one about SOPA made me chuckle :)

cARtOoNer on Jan 20 '12 at 10:36am

thanks Resistance glad you could check it out and glad it could bring a chuckle!

cARtOoNer on Jan 20 '12 at 1:50pm

Yay for new followers!

toopersent on Jan 20 '12 at 2:00pm

Followed. I love the SOPA/PIPA post. Good stuff!

cARtOoNer on Jan 20 '12 at 2:11pm

Thanks toopersent for the support!! hopefully, working on a future post as we speak, and I hope you like it just as much :)

cARtOoNer on Jan 20 '12 at 4:22pm

Yay for 1 more new follower!

cARtOoNer on Jan 20 '12 at 6:53pm

bump!

Goldendust on Jan 20 '12 at 9:38pm

Sorry, I didn't realise that "get stuck into" was only a kiwi/aussie phrase, I should have worded that better. But this is what I meant by it (the first definition) - it's great that you're getting started on it!

cARtOoNer on Jan 20 '12 at 10:59pm

ohhh, haha, it is alright, I thought it was kind of funny the way I read it anyway. thanks for the clarification!

cARtOoNer on Jan 21 '12 at 11:05am

news: I have been posting daily, but I have decided that I will not be posting on the weekend, so not that I will keep up my 5 weekday posts everyday, but for now that is my goal. Weekends will be a break!

cARtOoNer on Jan 21 '12 at 3:48pm

bump

Adhesive Hippo on Jan 21 '12 at 7:31pm

Really cute!

cARtOoNer on Jan 22 '12 at 11:23am

Thanks Hippo!!! Glad you could check it out!

cARtOoNer on Jan 23 '12 at 10:53am

The new monday strip is up!!

cARtOoNer on Jan 23 '12 at 10:54am

read it you will (in a yoda voice)

cARtOoNer on Jan 24 '12 at 12:11pm

new strip up!!

Adhesive Hippo on Jan 24 '12 at 12:26pm

I would make the top image of Karl and Karl a little smaller so the strips aren't pushed down so far on the page.

NCowick on Jan 24 '12 at 1:47pm

So far so good man. Keeping up on it just fine. I'd like to do something similar myself sometime, but my procrastinating ways have prevented it thus far, haha.

cARtOoNer on Jan 24 '12 at 2:19pm

Good input Adhesive Hippo, I have been considering that for some time now, just haven't made a decision on whether to change it or not. Your comment is leaning me towards a change!!

ibyes on Jan 24 '12 at 4:08pm

Fun work. Keep it up.

cARtOoNer on Jan 24 '12 at 5:16pm

thanks ibyes, glad you could check it out!!

cARtOoNer on Jan 25 '12 at 4:24pm

new one up!

cARtOoNer on Jan 26 '12 at 10:32pm

todays release was a bit late! still got it up today, but I was traveling this morning and this afternoon!

bottleHeD on Jan 27 '12 at 7:34am

Nice work! I would also suggest switching over to a one-image-a-page theme, it works better for webcomics.

cARtOoNer on Jan 27 '12 at 10:02am

thanks bottleHeD, I am working on customizing my theme to do that possibly, but I haven't decided if that is exactly what I want yet

cARtOoNer on Jan 27 '12 at 9:43pm

newest post went out today, also did some website maintenance

4 days later

cARtOoNer on Feb 01 '12 at 1:59pm

UPDATED!! Also, it now updates MWF if anyone cares haha, the daily thing isn't going to work with escuela.

ibyes on Feb 01 '12 at 2:23pm

Ha! the hot tub one is great.

cARtOoNer on Feb 02 '12 at 4:40pm

thanks ibyes, keep an eye out for a bit of a style change, i haven't fully made up my mind, but I am considering a bit of an experiment in one of my upcoming strips

cARtOoNer on Feb 03 '12 at 6:08pm

friday strip up

Thomas Orrow on Feb 04 '12 at 12:22am

I finally read it! I like the continuity. The pages look very slick and it works well on the Tumblr theme.

I liked the SOPA one, the mouthwash one & the comic strip one (the first one).

Good luck! I tweeted a couple of them.

Thomas Orrow on Feb 04 '12 at 12:23am

Oh, and I get the ice frog for the small image in the top-left corner.

cARtOoNer on Feb 04 '12 at 5:01pm

thanks for the ice frog image heads up, i will see what i can do about it!! keep a look out, and thanks for checking it out!!!

Thomas Orrow on Feb 05 '12 at 1:56am

No probs, it was fun to read!

ZenbayMono on Feb 05 '12 at 4:26am

I Like Karl & Karl ! =D haha

cARtOoNer on Feb 06 '12 at 1:59pm

Spread the word. New comic comes out today

cARtOoNer on Feb 06 '12 at 6:25pm

You have a knack for this, keep it up!

cARtOoNer on Feb 08 '12 at 12:24am

thanks ibyes, i am hoping these still are staying quality. The ideas are still flowing but I am struggling to get a nice following. I enjoy doing it, I just hope people who come across it enjoy it enough to keep visiting the site and spreading the word

cARtOoNer on Feb 08 '12 at 4:29pm

Focusing on one strip per page, and less of a header some that you do not have to scroll to start to read. Thanks!
