Generally, the response has been pretty positive. Most of my burgeoning fanbase are regular readers of the hundreds of other "webcomics" out there... it's nice to know -- and somewhat more rewarding -- that the comic is striking a chord with movie theatre slaves.

I'll concede, the situations are funnier if you know who the characters are based on. That wasn't intentional; there just happens to be a lot of in-jokes due to its autobiographical nature. Luckily, though, most people don't notice -- or at the very least, don't care. [Wink]

Anyway, I encourage any and all compliments or criticism. Both play an equal part in motivating me to continue. Having had no formal art schooling, I never learned about focus and discipline, so keep those opinions coming and I'll keep the comics coming.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get back to working on this stinking thing.

It's not my style to invade forums and start pimping my comic, but I figure there might be a handful of you who would be interested to know that a projectionist and the projection booth have finally been introduced in the story...

...though, not in the best light. Don't worry; that'll change one day.

Creepy projectionist introduced on Page Eleven
Scary projection booth introduced on Page Twelve

Okay, well, I'm done pimpin'. I promise.

That's not too bad a light... it's quite smart to get someone else to do all the heavy lifting if you can con someone into it. [Wink]

From what I've heard though, that's almost exactly how a lot of non-projectionists imagine the projection room to be like. Dark and mysterious, and full of strange things and strange people. Not too far from the truth usually!

I showed this comic to a bunch of the guys that work at my cinema the other day, right after they'd spent 5 hours putting standees together. So needless to say you've got a few more fans now too! [Big Grin]

Keep up the good work! [thumbsup]

This comic is awesome. Do you draw everything by hand and then scan it in, or is most of it done on the computer? Of course, the posters and standees are "digital" [Wink]

***EDIT*** OH MY GOD!!! I'm still laughing at the first strip... THAT MANAGER!! That thing is EXACTLY what I had to put up with at the Regal when it changed GMs. Why are all "lifetime theater chain middle management" fat?

That's most definitely the parking lot of my first theatre, the beloved Edwards Westend 8 in Corona, CA (that is now a Choc Thrift Store ... what, a dollar-theatre--sorry, DISCOUNT theatre--didn't make enough money to stay in business!?)

(By the way, nice TMBG banner at the top. It's a great album. Short. But great.)

Wow, does that ever bring back the "old days" of working at AMC Seven Hills 10 (Notice how I didn't put "good" before "old days") The uniform, the videos, the standees, the "box full o' trailers", the 'witch'. However, I envy you Kyle (or your character), you were treated better.

Great comic, looking forward to page 13. [thumbsup]

I draw it, scan it, color it in Photoshop. More details appear on the somewhat verbose about page.

Thanks for reading, people! Glad you like it.
