Hi. Some of you may already know I have a webcomic (Philosophy Monkey) which, although it had a rocky few months, is back to being updated regularly.
Unfortunately, I suffer from a recurring illness that means every 6-8 weeks or so I'm laid up in bed for a few days. This means that when that happens there isn't much chance of getting a new comic up for the week (the comic updates every Wednesday and Friday). I really hate not being able to put anything up and while I can put up old sketches, it isn't a very satisfactory solution.
What I'd like to be able to do would be to put up guest comics when I'm ill, so I'm asking if anyone would like to make any for me.
There are only three main requirements:
1: No sprite comics or copywritten characters (that you don't own). Sorry.
2: Don't go overboard with the language or content. I'm quite flexible, but it'd be nice if it didn't go much over the general tone of the comic.
3: Put your name (and website plug if you like) and ' 2005 Paul Lovell' somewhere on the comic.
I can't give any exact dates on when guest comics will be put up, but I promise that all comics will be put up at some point even if it's on an odd day (i.e. Monday when the comic wouldn't normally update) - If I don't get ill again (I'm ever hopeful), there'll probably be a good window for the comics to go up in late September when I start uni. I'll always let you know when a comic will go up as soon as I know.
If you're looking for a rough size for the comic I suggest a 600 pixel width, but it's not important. I may resize your comic after I recieve it but only so that it fits nicely on the page.
If anyone's interested and has any questions, feel free to ask 'em. I realise I'm asking a lot, but there's no harm in asking. Thanks.
Edit: While I think of it, I might as well make this my website thread, what with my old one getting eaten up by EZboard. So I once again plug my website: Philosophy Monkey. Any comments/suggestions for improvement/critiques would be appreciated. It updates every Wednesday and Friday, so if you'd like to check it out, that'd be awesome.
Edit 2: Heh, I should have probably added an email for people to send comics to, should they wish: biiton@hotail.com (is also a MSN messenger account, should people wish to talk to me).
I forgot to mention previously that if people want to submit a comic anonymously, that's fine with me.
It's a shame Trishie is away for a couple of weeks, Buzz. I'm a big PM fan and would have wrote a strip and put a gun to her head getting her to draw it.
I hope you get some responce though, it'll be interesting to see what other people do with the comics rare form of comedy.
Cheers Craig. It's the thought that counts. 
By the by, if you and your friend (does she post here? I don't recognise the name ^^;) do want to make a PM guestcomic at any time, even if it's months away, that'd be cool.
Edit: Heh, 3K post. Go me!
He's referring to Shadowed Spirit Sage. You've most likely seen her post.
Nice comic, too. If my scanner wasn't dead I'd help out. =O
Hmm. I think I can do a guest comic or two for you, I'm a big PM fan myself, and it'd be pretty cool to be a part of it.
I can't promise them right away, as I've got a few strips for my own webcomics to complete, but as soon as they're done, I'll try and get to work on your guest comics.
Thanks. There's no rush at all, and I really appreciate it.
I probably should have known Craig meant Shadowed Spirit Sage. My bad.
29/07 Edit: Uh, sorry about bumping up this tread, but I'm unable to get ComicGenesis to update Friday's comic. As I can't do much about that for now, Friday's (somewhat late) comic has been uploaded here on my DeviantArt page. Sorry again for the bump.
Hmm....
This looks interesting. I may give it a whirl. 🙂
Thanks Cooki.
...Uh, the comic should be updating normally now. I'm not quite sure what ComicGenesis is up to at the minute, but the updating dealie went down for a while but seems to be sort of working now. If anyone finds the comic hasn't updated, please let me know.
Also, the website's url will be changing to http://philosophymonkey.comicgen.com Friday week. I don't really like it, so I might buy a proper url (i.e. www.philosophymonkey.com) when I can find a good deal/afford it.
Okay, I've done two guest comics for you. Do you want me to e-mail tham to you?
Awesome! Thanks mate. You could send me an email at biiton@hotmail.com, and I'll work out a tentative date for when they'll be up.
Just a note, I may re-size the comics to a 600 pixel width (which is what I generally do with my comics). If it's smaller than that it isn't an issue, but if it's larger and would cause problems, let me know.
>>; Since I seem to already have been volunteered....
^_^ I'd love to draw a guest comic for you. It sounds like you've got a couple already, so if I don't draw a couple for awhile, I apologize (**in the middle of preparations to start her own webcomicish thing with a few other people**).
I've read through your comic and I like both the drawing style and humor a lot ^^ Keep up the good work!
~Shadowed Spirit Sage
E-mail sent, and resize away with mine all you want. 🙂
OTB: Huuge thanks for those comics. They're really good, and certainly got a laugh from me. I owe you one mate; if you ever need guest comics or anything like that, let me know.
If there are any comments you want to go with either or both of the comics (as in the text that appears under each comic in the archive/main page), just type it out and I'll make sure that goes up with 'em.
At the moment, I'm guessing the comic will go up around mid to late September. That is, however, assuming I won't get another bout of this sickness which is unfortunately rather likely.
Sage: Thanks. There's no hurry at all though, please don't feel you have to make one for me or anything.
Edit: Bumpage. Sorry to bump the dead thread, but I want to thank OTB for his guest comics which went up this week, due to my being ill. Again. Ah well. I recommend you all go and view them, and soak up their goodness.
