GPF’s ninth anniversary
Woo.
You know, I could wax all philosophical, get nostalgic and misty-eyed, ramble on and on about how things have changed between 1998 and now, but… I’d rather not. If you care, celebrate in whatever means you are so accustomed, although I request that if you do so in the name of GPF that you do so in a socially responsible manner. (Don’t want anyone going to jail for some drunken GPF-inspired murder spree.)
I guess I could mention, in the light of other comics celebrating a decade of existence recently, that GPF was actually created in 1997 and I spent over a year developing and honing it before it came online. So in a sense, GPF is also a decade old, although not officially until November 2, 2008. Somehow, I doubt anyone would really count that.
Woo.

Current GPF schedule plans
October 18th, 2007 (4 years, 3 months ago) by Jeff | Permalink | 1 Core DumpFollowing up last week’s post, here’s the current GPF update schedule plans. The strip will continue to update weekly (please hold your groaning until the end of the post) until February 2008. While I’m still trying to be optimistic that I’ll soon be able to increase my updates to at least thrice per week, I’m also realistic enough to know it’s definitely not going to happen with the big fall/winter holidays coming up (namely Thanksgiving and Christmas). So I’m taking the safe route and officially putting off any frequency updates until well after that. Sketchbook reruns will continue on Wednesdays during this time.
For Fridays, we’ll start running the Book 2 bonus story on November 2nd (GPF’s ninth anniversary). This story will run until January 18th, and we’ll double-up on the Sketchbook reruns until February 1st. Like the first book’s bonus story, this will run once and never again, so if you don’t have a copy of the book this is your only chance to see it completely free. Technically, there’s an archived online version available for owners of the book, but you need to have access to the physical book to get in the first time. (Unfortunately, it probably suffers from the same problem as the book 1 online version in that different printings of the book won’t match the questions asked, so not everyone will probably be able to get in. I’m trying to think of a good workaround for this, but I doubt that’s going to happen any time soon.)
Much to my chagrin, I’m drastically chopping down the final chapter of To Thine Own Self… to alleviate the torture to all of us in having it drag on too much longer. If I were still updating seven days a week, I could see spending several weeks each expounding on the wedding reception, Trudy’s internal conflicts about her return, why Patty hates weddings, and what really happened to the Gamester. But even I can’t really justify dragging it out that much, not when we’re getting buffeted by the wind gusts of passing snails. So I’ve cropped Chapter Eight down to the bare essentials, the plot points that we absolutely can’t go without, and I’ll push out some of the otherwise unresolved threads to be answered later on. This means that TTOS will either end on February 13th if I can actually increase the updates to thrice per week in February, or March 3rd if we continue at once per week to that point. Beyond that, GPF will officially enter Year Nine (about a year and a half behind schedule), where I’ll be heavily concentrating more on humor than plot. (Even I need to take a break.)
More updates as soon as I have them….

Too ambitious
October 12th, 2007 (4 years, 4 months ago) by Jeff | Permalink | 5 Core DumpsLast month I stated that I hoped to have GPF back to a M-W-F schedule by November. Nuh-uh. Not gonna happen. While Ben’s sleep patterns are much more predictable (save for the occasional oddity like this past Wednesday night, where none of us got more than two hours sleep) and we’ve made significant headway in cleaning up and organizing our basement, I haven’t gotten any strips done since that September 10th post. Getting seven comics done in that week must have been a fluke, because I certainly haven’t been able to repeat it.
The hardest part of maintaining my schedule has to be the scripting. Drawing the line art is difficult because it means I have be sequestered in the basement at the art desk for about a half hour to an hour per strip. I’ve been working on ways to do the line art digitally, but all those R&D efforts have been largely on hold since Ben’s birth. And while it’s possible for everyone else to come down to the basement with me, I really don’t want to dictate what everyone else can do just to buy me art desk time. (At the moment, there’s little down there to entertain Ben with anyway.) Doing the digital half of the strips (clean-up, text, colors, etc.) can be time consuming but at least I can do those on the laptop in the living room with the rest of the family, so I can be a part of what’s going on and readily available if someone needs me.
But scripting is tough because I really need to shut myself off from everyone else and concentrate. Big stories like To Thine Own Self… usually have a large, overall time line that I follow from the beginning, but I very rarely script things down to the individual strip level that far in advance. Individual strips, jokes, and dialog are usually written as I come to them unless they are so critical to the plot that they need advance planning or I come up with something so good I can’t afford to forget it. So before I work on each “week” of strips (Sunday + six dailies) I hide myself somewhere quiet and script each line of dialog, block out each panel, and occasionally reorder things if necessary. This way I have a plan by the time I get to the art desk so my time there is most efficiently used and I’ve got a second chance to improve the art before it becomes semi-permanent. Scripting is time consuming because I write out each line of dialog (which I don’t do during the art desk phase; I just leave sufficient space and add the text digitally), occasionally erase and reword it, and sketch every panel. Often I have to think hard about how the dialog flows, who says what in what order, and what kind of punchline I can use for the last panel. I actually think scripting is the most time-consuming part of the process, because to do it right I can’t be interrupted. I can step away from the art desk or laptop and come back with little mental paging; scripting is a mindset, and when I am forced out of it, I often have to reorganize my thoughts to get back to where I was when I left. And none of what I’ve mentioned so far has brought research to light, since many times I have to go back and re-read old stories to make sure I get all the back references correct.
And that’s where I am now. I’m in the scripting phase for the next “week”, and I just can’t get enough time together to step away from everything else to hide myself away and just write. I may need to re-evaluate my process and look for alternative scripting methods, like typing dialog and descriptions into the computer first at times when I can’t sketch. I’ve tried that before, usually when I’m working with another artist for a crossover, but it rarely seems to work well for me. Part of the scripting work is figuring out how much space the dialog takes up per panel and balancing text versus art so one doesn’t overpower the other. That’s hard to do in a word processor. But right now, I can’t think of anything better to do than forsaking my family and effectively ceasing to exist for several hours.
So no big comeback in November. Sorry, folks, but thems the breaks. Nobody could be more frustrated about it than I am. I’m not sure what, if anything, I’ll do for GPF’s ninth anniversary. The strip will likely continue on the weekly Monday schedule at least through the end of the year; there’s no way I’ll be able to up my schedule with the winter holidays coming up. The Sketchbook Reruns will probably continue the “Rejected Story Month” updates during that time, and I’ll probably run the Book #2 bonus story on Fridays once the Book #1 bonus runs out. After that… we’ll just have to wait and see.

The (ambitious) plan
September 10th, 2007 (4 years, 5 months ago) by Jeff | Permalink | 2 Core DumpsIt’s been a while since I’ve made an update here on the state of all things GPF-ish. Of course, the official state of the comic stuff should come only from the GPF News, but I tend to occasionally give those of you who visit this site (both of you) more nebulous, wishy-washy updates that may or may not come to pass. I guess the blog has taken the place of the old Rumor Mill, only not restricted to just Keenspot PREMIUM subscribers. (Man, I feel guilty for not keeping that up. But truth be told, I honestly haven’t had any “rumors” worth posting there for ages.)
Things are moving along slowly but surely. I will assume everyone has read the September 3rd News update by now. The important thing to pull out of that one is that Miscellaneous Fridays will be the Book 1 bonus story until the end of October. This wasn’t my first or best choice, and I was very reluctant to use “exclusive” content from one of the books as main page filler. Still, that content is now a good seven years old and will not remain permanently archived on the site in a freely available form (you have to have access to a physical copy of the book to access the online archive), so I will assume this is okay. I also didn’t have much else I could pull of the old archive DVDs that would buy me enough time to play catch up. I’m still sitting on the Book 2 bonus story, which at twelve pages could last me a good three months of weekly updates, and I’ll pull that out of the hat if I have to.
However, the extremely ambitious plan is to get GPF back to three real comic updates per week by November. This, of course, will mark GPF’s ninth anniversary and will be a perfect opportunity for an at least partially triumphant comeback. Fortunately, this is looking a lot more possible that it was several months ago. It’s still going to be difficult, but at least it looks more obtainable than it has for the past year.
The biggest obstacle to upping the frequency has been Ben’s sleep schedule, which has been very erratic and difficult to manage pretty much since he was born. However, we’ve had a major success in getting him on a pretty regular schedule lately (although he’s only been complying while literally kicking and screaming). This has freed up some of my evenings again; I managed to get almost an entire old-style week’s worth of comics (one color Sunday and six dailies) done last week. We’ve also finally started making some headway in cleaning up the basement, which for over a year after our move back to West Virginia has remained a catch-all of unpacked boxes of stuff we haven’t found storage for. Now most of the moving stuff is packed away or discarded, my GPF corner is an organized and semi-efficient workspace, and the remaining unpacked boxes are lined against the walls, making much of the floor space actually usable. More storage space is on the way (once I put those do-it-yourself cabinets together) and many other home improvement tasks should be relatively easy to complete.
What remains to be seen is what will happen to Tuesdays and Thursdays if GPF actually does return to a three-updates-per-week schedule. The two primary options are to (1) let the T-days lay fallow as they currently are or (2) move the Sketchbook reruns there and update them twice per week. Option #2 has the obvious benefit of increasing page views and thus ad revenue, but with the detriment that it depletes the backlog of sketches twice as quickly as they are generated (as new Sketchbook updates occur only once per week). I suppose Option #3 would be to make one day Sketchbook reruns and the other Miscellaneous Thursdays or somesuch, but I’d rather not go that route; I’m running out of miscellaneous stuff as it is. I think the most likely scenario is Option #1, with the possibility of Option #2 leading to the ultimate goal of GPF returning to at least five updates per week (M-F). (Six or seven updates shouldn’t be likely for the foreseeable future.)
As for story line stuff, that’s pretty much up in the air. I have a number of loose ideas of where I want to take the comic once To Thine Own Self… finally comes to an end. I think I have only one or two really major story arcs left unresolved that I want to complete before I can comfortably see the strip end. I might take a diversion from the main comic and move Surreptitious Machinations II into the main archive; as awesome and ambitious as the idea was to make it an exclusive pay-only feature, I think it might be more practical to simply finish it and get it out into the open. Since it’s already scripted, it would just be a matter of finishing the art, which I’m already over a fifth of the way done with anyway. It would also provide an excellent diversion for both me and you, the readers, as we take a break from the main cast and from TTOS’s weighty length.
(Note: The above paragraph should not be misconstrued as rumblings that GPF is coming to an end any time soon. I’ve always kept the option open that if I had to I would end GPF if the needs of my family were too great to let it continue. My family has and always will remain my top priority and will always come before the comic. However, I still have plenty of ideas and I’m sure more will present themselves as time continues. At the moment, I only have two major stories I’d love to see published before I brought the strip to a comfortable conclusion, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t tons of smaller, lighter story arcs I could pursue. When I started Surreptitious Machinations, I was afraid I would have to end the strip once it concluded because I would run out of ideas. Quite to the contrary, SM seeded even more story ideas and kept feeding the comic all the way up to today.)
I suppose that’s all I have to tell you for now. I’ll try and give you a greater feel for how likely the schedule increase will be as the time draws closer.

Doug Marlette dies in car crash
Okay, it’s not necessarily a “webcomics” article, but definitely comics related. As I was reading the Reuters feed on AvantGo this morning, I stumbled upon this article. Cartoonist Doug Marlette, best known for his scathing editorial cartoons and his long-running syndicated comic strip Kudzu, died yesterday at the age of 57 in a car wreck in Mississippi, ironically after attending his father’s funeral.
I’m not a big fan of syndicated comics anymore, and I only read three of them now with any sort of regularity. I only read them online and one of those three, Calvin and Hobbes, is no longer being produced and is running in reruns. Like many online cartoonists, I’ve found syndicated comics have lost their flavor, having been drained of all originality by syndicate editors seeking to appeal to the lowest common denominator in order to get into the most newspapers (and thus make the most money (for the syndicate, of course, as the artist sees very little of the profits)). Still, I remember Kudzu fondly from reading it when I was younger. I never really kept up with it after my local paper dropped it, and never bothered to follow up with it once I started following other syndicated strips online.
Then a few years ago David Allen of Plan Nine Publishing asked me to do a little bit of coloring work for him. It turned out that he was able to secure a contract for a few books with Mr. Marlette. He was one of the first syndicated cartoonists to hook up with Plan Nine. David needed someone to color the cover art for Marlette’s first two Plan Nine books, and he asked if I were up to the task. You can find the two books in their catalog here and here. David assured me that he was quite pleased with the results; his exact quote was “Again, Beautiful, David. My compliments to the colorist. This is fun.” I’m afraid this was as close as I ever got to Mr. Marlette, and I wished I had taken the opportunity then to contact him directly.
I know this post is far heavier on information than it is on sentimentality. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. On one hand, I could expound on the virtues of a man I barely know and only through his mass-produced work… which probably wouldn’t be very deep. I could spit out something “profound” about the brevity of life and how we should live our lives as if there were no tomorrow, but that’s been done to death and I doubt I have much noteworthy to add. Yet at the same time, I do feel a tiny bit of loss, as this was an individual that I had at least the briefest touch of a professional relationship with, even if I never met him in person. I’m not sure if they would be in the slightest bit interested, or if they would ever even hear of this post, but I certainly wish to express my condolences to his family and friends.

SIGGRAPH Key Signing Party?
As previously mentioned, I’m headed to SIGGRAPH in August. The pre-con report is now up on the GPF Shows & Cons site and, as usual, will become the core place for news and updates about my trip there. (I’ll probably end up mentioning the same stuff here as well, but that’s the official place to look.)
It occurred to me yesterday while I was writing up a News item for Monday that SIGGRAPH may–or may not–be a good place to hold a key signing party. For those unfamiliar with public-key cryptography, this is a gathering where PKC users can verify each other’s identities, prove you are who you say you are, and obtain signatures on your public key. This increases your perceived level of trust; the more signatures you have on your public key, the more people who say they have verified your identity and thus the more trustworthy your own signature becomes. This “web of trust” is the core to PKC; without it, anyone could create a key and say they’re somebody else and there wouldn’t be an easy way to prove otherwise.
I said it may be a good place for a key signing because there will be a lot of computer professionals there. It might not be a good place because most of those computer professionals are more involved with graphics than with cryptography (which is ironic because both require a great deal of mathematical knowledge). Thus, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find anyone there willing to sign my keys or not. My public key has a pitiful few number of signatures, mostly because I haven’t been able to meet face-to-face with like-minded cryptography nuts to add any. I’ve searched and searched and have yet to come up with anything in this vein officially or unofficially attached to SIGGRAPH.
So here’s a two-pronged appeal. First, if anyone does know of an official or unofficial key signing event somehow attached to SIGGRAPH or that might be going on in the area during that week, please let me know the details so I can somehow get involved. If there isn’t one going on, I’d love to see one organized. I’d consider organizing it myself if it weren’t for the fact that I’m not from San Diego and I don’t have a clue about where would be the best place to hold such an event, let alone how to get the word out. I’ve put my entry up on BigLumber’s San Diego listing in hopes that someone might see it, and at least one San Diego resident has expressed interest. If someone else might take the initiative to get things started, I’d be more than willing to promote it on the GPF site.

Jesus Geek interview now up
It’s funny how after you do something like this and you listen to yourself hemming and hawing and stuttering, you realize just how many things you wanted to say that you completely forgot about at the time. Oh well. And of course Suddenlink would have a major outage today, meaning the blog would be down half the day, starting about when the interview went live. [Rolls eyes]
Anyhoo, enjoy the podcast. There’s a lot of interesting discussion, especially around Year Seven’s Providence, Nick and Ki’s relationship vs. Fooker and Sharon’s, and this here little slice of the Intraweb. Discuss the podcast either on the podcast’s comments page, or use this thread on the GPF forum.

SIGGRAPH 2007
Three posts is a single day… perforated bovine, what is this world coming to?
I’ve just found out that I’ll be going to SIGGRAPH 2007 in San Diego, CA, on August 5-9. SIGGRAPH, for those who don’t know, is one of the world’s largest conferences for “digital innovators, creative researchers, award-winning producers, provocative artists, energetic executives, and adventurous engineers.” It’s where to find the cutting edge in 3D modeling, computer animation, and digital art. I’m technically going for my day job and I definitely won’t be presenting or exhibiting anything, but I’m adding a reference on the GPF Shows & Cons page just in case any Faulties will be in attendance (or possibly just in the area) and want to organize an ad-hoc gathering. (After all, I’m only on the West Coast every so often.) As such, I’ll probably post updates as more information develops.
Of course, this pretty much cinches that I won’t be going to Comic-Con International this year. I had pretty much abandoned hope for most convention travel this year since the little guy is still under a year old, but there’s always a part of me that dreams of at least making it back to our big two stops, Comic-Con and Dragon*Con. Alas, Comic-Con is just two weeks before SIGGRAPH, and I’m not sure I’m up to hours and hours of air travel that close together. That also puts any hope for Dragon*Con on the rocks, as it’s a scant three weeks after SIGGRAPH. While I’ll be going to SIGGRAPH on the company’s dime, meaning finances aren’t the issue, spending that much time on the road so close together would be pretty rough on our little family right now.
As usual, though, keep you eyes on the Shows & Cons page for official convention notices. Since SIGGRAPH isn’t an official GPF stop, I’m not sure how much coverage it will get on the GPF site, but it should get a good bit of face time here.

Jesus Geek interview
One of the impending things hinted at in today’s GPF News item is that I should be interviewed in this week’s Jesus Geek podcast. Jesus Geek is a weekly Christian/technology podcast “hosted by a geek, amateur astronomer and homeschooling dad.” When I received their interview request, I went back and listened to a number of episodes in their archives, and there’s a good chance I’ll become a regular subscriber. I’ll be putting up an official link in the next GPF News post as soon as the podcast goes live (as well as a permanent link down in the GPF Links Off-Site portion of the GPF Link-O-Rama), but I’ll give you guys a heads-up here.

Come back here, wind… we may need that caution back
As most of you know, I’m not usually one to jump into the latest webcomics controversy. It’s sad, really, that such a relatively small community can be so self-absorbed and petty as to snipe at each other and prove just how unprofessional it can really be. Webcartoonists have a particular knack for picking up on the slightest little bit of miscommunication or overflowing ego and turn it into an embarrassing morass, while the rest of the Internet and the world at large beyond it barely even know we exist. (There are much more constructive ways to use those energies, such as, say, uniting together to promote webcomics as a whole.) That’s one reason I typically stay deathly silent whenever something like this crops up; I want to be treated as a professional, and professionals do their jobs dutifully while respecting their peers and even their adversaries. I despise politics, even on a microscopic scale.
But that’s enough of that little rant. This webcomics controversy actually has a bit of merit, and since nobody else seems to be taking the position I currently have, I might as well put my two cents worth in and hope it doesn’t turn back around to bite me. It most likely will, given how things online can easily be taken out of context, but hopefully reasonable folks will read this entire post and not just one person’s misrepresentation of it.
By now, many (if not most) of you have already heard the news, but for those who haven’t: About five and a half years ago, “Shmorky” (who I will refer to by this handle, since he produced the content in question under this pseudonym and he prefers to remain anonymous, even though many people already know who he really is), the creator of the Keenspot comic Purple Pussy, created this comic. Over the years, it has proven quite popular, having been linked and copied across the Net repeatedly in forums, blogs, and other venues. The merits of this repeated copying, whether it benefited Shmorky by promoting his work or was a detriment to him in lost advertising revenue, is not the question here; it stands as a fact, though, that it has been seen world wide by thousands of people both on and off Keenspot. It has also been reproduced in print through Keenspot’s Free Comic Book Day Spotlight contribution for 2004, which has been distributed to thousands more across the US (and probably beyond). And yet, in what many have considered a blatant act of plagiarism, world-renowned artist Todd Goldman has apparently reproduced Shrmorky’s work without permission, even exhibiting the work in an art gallery in Los Angeles and potentially earning huge revenues from its exhibition. (For more in depth detail of this situation, as well as tons of links to media and blog coverage, check out this Something Awful thread started by Shmorky himself.)
Now, before I say anything else, let me make one thing perfectly clear: I’ve met Shmorky in person, and I really like him. He seems to be a wonderful person and is unquestionably a talented artist. I may not always agree with the mature nature of some of the content he has produced, but as a fellow artist and webcartoonist, I have a great deal of respect for him and what he’s accomplished. I’ve also offered him at a minimum some moral support on this issue and offered a little bit of layman’s legal advice based on the little bit of legal research I’ve done on some related topics. If the accusations against Mr. Goldman can be proven true, I sincerely hope that Shmorky is sufficiently compensated for the appropriation of his work.
That said, I’m not sure if the well-intentioned tactics currently being used by the online comics community to draw attention to this situation are really going to have the affect everyone thinks it will have. This is a thorny situation, and it’s definitely thornier for no one more than Shmorky himself, who stands to lose a whole lot more than those who may be “aiding” him if these tactics backfire.
What tactics are these, you might ask? Well, for one thing, just do a Google search for “art thief”. At the time of this posting, the number two ranked result is a Digg of “Todd Goliath (Goldman), Art Thief”. Keenspot has even gotten into the game by preempting its usual internal self-promotion to use the system-wide Newsbox to link to this Digg. The Wikipedia article for Goldman linked above even includes coverage of the situation (although the article is currently locked so unauthenticated changes cannot be made).
Why does this concern me? For one thing, there’s a lot of accusations going around and apparently very little actual communication. Has anyone even bothered to contact Goldman about this? Gary Tyrrell has apparently tried (to which I give him a good deal of journalistic credit), and he received a rather suspicious reply whose authenticity is still in question. Beyond that, there seems to be a lot of finger pointing and mudslinging and not much else. There’s a little saying in this country about being innocent until proven guilty, and as far as I can tell, there hasn’t been any legal proceedings to evaluate any evidence. (For that matter, is this a criminal or civil law issue? Given the potential exhibition and merchandise dollars involved, I’m leaning toward criminal copyright infringement, but I’m not quite sure.) Mind you, I’m not necessarily coming to Mr. Goldman’s defense; I am, however, trying to remain objective. And since I am neither a lawyer (and I’m betting neither are the vast majority of you) nor am I a judge hearing this as a case in court, my opinion (and yours) doesn’t amount to much more than the proverbial hill of beans. Until actual legal proceedings commence and a qualified judge actually issues a ruling, there is nothing more going here on than a series of suspiciously similar images being compared on a few Web sites. It’s careless to say much else about the situation without a lawyer looking over your shoulder.
Given that, here’s what’s really got me worried for Shmorky. Some folks have interpreted the “reply” posted to Fleen as libel (not slander; do your research), that Goldman has called Shmorky a pedophile. If this message is eventually proven to have come from Goldman (check the comments for some compelling evidence in that direction), it could very well indeed be ruled as libel. Again, that’s a determination only a judge could make. But what about all these webcartoonists going about calling Goldman a thief? Who’s to say Goldman can’t turn this around and counter sue Shmorky for libel as well? Or if Shmorky doesn’t have the resources to initiate copyright infringement proceedings, what’s stopping Goldman from getting the ball rolling with a libel suit himself? True, there’s a lot more people out there than Shmorky saying this, but it was his Something Awful post that kicked of this tempest and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to be argued that the rest of us are lemmings following his lead. Goldman can’t sue the entire webcomics community, but he can sue the man who started things off by calling him a thief. And if this mess does finally make its way into a court of law, Goldman could very well be proven guilty based on the evidence at hand, but Shmorky could be facing a vicious civil libel suit at the same time. That’s a lot of lawyer fees for a small, independent artist to be paying. (One hopes he can find one to work pro bono and not on retainer.)
Thus, I recommend caution. I think the images of Shmorky’s work and Goldman’s work speak volumes in and of themselves. Promote the comparison and let viewers judge for themselves. Adding potentially libelous commentary isn’t going to help matters. I also think evidence should be preserved: images with date/time stamps intact should be archived and, better yet, copies of the Keenspot Spotlight 2004 FCBD book should be set aside as examples of prior art. That’s going to help Shmorky a whole lot more than all the chimps in the monkey house throwing feces at the 800 lb. gorilla in the next enclosure.
