TWG T-Shirts

[Maxwell]

I'd buy one of those... personally i think a lot of the signatures here would make some pretty funny shirts...

[EUOL]

Okay, so I've got kind of an idea for a new webcomic.  However, to cut down on the artistic skills, I was thinking of something more digitally-oriented.  That leads me to a question.  Perhaps 42 or SE can answer this.  How legal would it be of me to take screenshots of pictures/articles/headlines I see on-line, and then have the characters make fun of them?  Does this fall under the 'parody' blanket?

[Spriggan]

Well I'm neither, but I would say yes.  I saw dorktower do it just a few days ago.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yeah, the only real misuse would be representing those articles as your own work or simply reprinting them for information purposes. putting them into a comic book specifically to make fun of them, that's fine.

Oh, and I was going to say,  a survey would be great.

Later I'll run a survey of actual quotes, if we have ten or more people willing to pay for the shirt. I'm going to narrow down the quotes to externally understandable ones.

[Spriggan]

Also EUOL, if you cannot get an auto-updater I know how to code one (more or less).

Sam sent me another message, confirming my thinking:

There are definitely some big problems with cafe press. Their shirts are only available in white and have a much lower print quality. Brunetto's shirts are all screen printed, which means you get a professional quality print, not something that looks like an iron-on transfer printed off of someone's inkjet printer.

And yeah, Brunetto is WAY cheaper, too.

I was just looking at Cafe press and they had shirt with colors... dont know about quality though.

So, assuming I DID do a new comic, here are some potential sprites I whipped up...

Comic idea:  Three evil overlords have a contest to see who can completely dominate the world first.  Those overlords?  Why, EUOL, SaintEhlers, and Entropy, of course.  (Can you guess who is who...?)

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

As long as Im the freelance mad scientist

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'm pretty sure the order is Entropy, SE, EUOL in that picture. That rules. I like it.

There are a few color shirts, on cafepress, Jeffe, available only to premium members. Which means paying for membership.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

And I, as his(Jeffe) quirky yet loveable associate!

[Entsuropi]

Hahaha... i'm antler head man!

Also, me and JP came up with the idea of two paladins (me and him, we both play them all the time in bioware RPG's) who wander around and do stuff. Webcomic idea.

[Mistress of Darkness]

If it's simply a sprite comic, EUOL, you might consider taking submissions from people on the forum. Plot lines starring Fuzzy, Brenna, stacer and I come immediately to mind.

I'm sorry about not quoting you Fell, but you haven't been on enough lately to say anything memorable.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I think the guy doing the comic should have complete control over what he puts in. I mean, if he wants to be so unrealistic as to make the SE character an incompetant fool, well, i mean, it's fiction, right? RIGHT?!

anyway, if he wants suggestions for scripts or jokes, that's one thing, but I know, as a creator, I'd get annoyed really quick if people not heading the site running my work telling me what should go into my uncompensated creation would annoy me right quick.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

grey is a color but yeah I went back and checked...
