a MESSAGE from SCOTT McCLOUD

a MESSAGE from SCOTT McCLOUD :: posted 03.05.2002 ::

MODERNTALES.com lauched in March of 2002 as the first subscription service for professional webcomics, under the industrious leadership of Joey Manley. In order to garner support for the new enterprise, Scott McCloud posted an unpaid plug at the COMICON.COM message board: FIVE REASONS WHY I'LL SUBSCRIBE TO MODERN TALES [appended]. My own devices were more hooligan in nature - I concocted this parody and posted it online. Within thirty minutes, traffic to my site had exceeded its allowed bandwidth, and i had to upload the comic to another server! Nothing has brought that much interest to my site since.


REJECTED by MODERNTALES.com :: posted 03.04.2002 ::

One night I stayed up late and decided to make a comic for MODERNTALES.com.

These fellows at Oubapo-America came up with this exercise in iconic repetition; as usual, I took advantage of the opportunity for mischief. This may be my most offensive work in comics.
