Three Year Old Review (AKA Reviewed by a Three-Year-Old)

A few days ago, my three-year-old cousin dropped by for a visit. Eventually, she found some Draconis sketches and wanted to know more about them. So we opened up the website and I read/paraphrased the stories to her. Here’s what she thought:

Draconis Wicked - Flight is pretty. Draconis and Snakey are cool because they have long tails. Malcorona is neat because he’s a dragon like Draconis, but he spends too much time in the dark and he’s hard to see. The “blue castle” is great. All the people are neat because they look like animals and it’s fun to guess what each one is. The only person who isn’t great is Cloaker, who is scary. Marjorie needs to “make more story.”

Urban Underbrush - Dynamite and Detonator are characters from a storybook, despite the fact that they have never appeared in print. Vincent is the “Prince Charming” because he’s the only one who got a kiss from a girl. The best comics are the ones with dogs or “the little green dragon that sits on people’s shoulders.”

Always nice to get some useful feedback.

Another Birthday

Howdy, Folks. My birthday is this weekend. This year, it's even a work holiday (called Sunday!) No need for gifts, I'm actually pretty good on moderately priced stuff. However, there is a traditional gift webcartoonists often ask for on special occasions and it's surprisingly affordable. It fact, it's free. Tell one person about my website. Give them the URL if you can. Did my birthday pass you by already? It's okay, you can still tell a friend about the site any time. See, with web stuff, word of mouth is really powerful. Internet sites and businesses often build their audience one member at a time. If people don't pass them along, they have a hard time growing. Networking, comic lists, even paid advertisements can't stack up to a recommendation from a trusted friend.

So spread the word and thanks in advance.

And Happy Birthday to you too (whenever your birthday is.)
