That’s okay, Amber. Try being a “genious” like me. Then you’ll get it. My mom tells me my comics are very clever. Does anyone else not get them? It’s okay to admit it. They’re not for everybody. When I was first sketching “I Foreign I” comics in New Orleans, Brent Joseph never got them either, while Paul and David L. and Godlizza usually seemed to enjoy them. The current comic, I realized doesn’t reach everyone. When I showed the sketch to my roommate/cousin, he said, “I think this one just seems like filler. I’m sure somebody will like it though.” Not him obviously. When I showed Kris Wesling he said, “That’s the best one yet, boy!”
The way I felt about it was more like Kris than Jesse (my roommate/cousin). I like it alot. I mean, I do have some that are so crappy, they’ll never go on the website.

I don’t get your comics. Am I missing something? Also, though your picture is pretty, I was actually talking about that beautiful, frosted chalise of High Life beer on the right (Â© Amber Shields. All rights reserved.) Mmmmm, Domolises. I tried to upload it but thought I failed. I guess I didn’t.

p.s. Paul you would make a brillant Amelia Earhart, just brillant.

Oh shit! Oh fuck! I don’t know what to do. My webmistress is at work until like 10pm. I don’t know how to fix it. Is anyone else not able to see my current comic on my website? Calgon, take me away!

I just meant that you don’t want to be like elbuzzard, because I get no hits from people I don’t know.

The image is busted for me too.

Still borked for me. I tried Firefox and IE7, and cleared my cache.

Okay Paul, you can be Amelia Earhart.

Hmmm. GonzoWriters, huh? That sounds like a great idea. Do they write for non-sports related stuff? I’ve got money, Dave, so don’t you worry your pretty little noggin about the ol’ payola. I just need to get all my pawns in place first. I’ve approached one web comic advertising site the other day, but they haven’t gotten back to me yet. I may need some more comics in the archive before they trust me to not give up on my strip.

My girlfriend set up the WordPress blog on my site. I wasn’t trying to turn my site into Elbuzzard, if that’s what you mean. And by the way, the comments are working and posted now, so check it out.

Who’s Amelia Earhart?

Sounds like what you need is some quality search-engine optimized copy from GonzoWriters. The way to get more hits (and I hope you are not taking elbuzzard.com as your model) is to get people to link to you. There's a ton of online comics out there, maybe start emailing them?

Greg: I was just on my website, and it looks fine, but about an hour ago it wasn’t loading at all. I’m not sure why. I think it works now though. Please let me know if you still can’t see it.

Amber: If you’re talking about the picture at the top of the page, why I’m glad you asked — I made it all by myself. That’s Raja. Would you like me to make you an animated gif? I will, for a small fee. Maybe we can barter something. Wudda’ya got?

Marnie: Jimmy Valentine is the comic genious behind the not very popular comic strip “I Foreign I”, which you can read at http://www.iforeigni.com. He is also Jamie Gannon, Loyola University, New Orleans graduate. He is also Amelia Earhart. But he is not — Definitely not Micheal J. Devlin, kidnapper from Kirkwood Missouri.
