I may have started writing a webcomic.

[Lorizael]

It's a (theoretically) humorous science fiction comic that ended up being far more plot-heavy than I originally intended, and it's called Singuhilarity. The awful, terrible title popped into my head one day and is actually my entire motivation for starting the comic.

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever and my sense of humor is, uh, a bit strange. But somehow I've written fifty comics, of which I've posted eight so far.

Here's the first one.

If you think it's stupid and unfunny, that puts you about on par with my girlfriend. She didn't start laughing until strip 35 or so.

And since I'm a grammar and spelling nazi, if you notice any errors they're obviously intentional. Yes.

I've read the first three, and I believe there is hope for you.

Comment: It's an awful lot of white space for drawings that never move; you might want to tighten that up.

[Lorizael]

I promise, it's not just those two characters in a plain white room forever. In the fourth comic, actually, things begin to change.

[MikeH]

Enjoyed them!

[N35t0r]

There's only 8 of them.

[Lorizael]

Yeah. I've got 42 more in the can, and I post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Since I am in no way an artist, it doesn't take particularly long to "draw" each strip. But I don't want to unload all of them at once, because that would spoil the, uh, pacing.

If you'd like, however, you can try to hack into my smackjeeves account and read the others that I've uploaded but not posted so far.

Glad people are reading!

[Heraclitus]

I find it funny.

But basically with a title and theme like that you are catering to a small fraction of the xkcd crowd and transhumanists. Why not indulge in a few more explicit or clever shout outs?

Giant Cheese cakes, clippy taking over, Harry Potter fanfiction parodies, Kurzwellian cultist, philosophical zombies,...

[Lorizael]

Nah. I can totally pick up some Dinosaur Comics readers, too.

[MOBIUS]

Pretty entertaining. For some funny reason I got the feeling you're channelling your experiences on Poly into these strips...

[DaShi]

I think the AI should end all his sentences with Vern. Then you can change the title to "The Importance of Being Ernest."

[Perfection]

MAKE YOUR TEXT LARGER. PERF CAN'T SEE TINY TEXT GOOD.

[Lorizael]

Times New Roman 12 is the font of the future.

[N35t0r]

Wouldn't that be Calibri 12 since 2007?

[Cort Haus]

Loz

I particularly liked the bit about the three laws of robotics getting commented out.

[Lorizael]

Oh look, someone reviewed my comic.

I laughed. The only part that bothered me was the commenter who thought I hadn't read Caves of Steel. I've read Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, and The Robots of Dawn, and I've read them all multiple times.

But my human does kind of look like he has poop on his head.
