the new "nancy" strip from olivia jaimes has driven demand for youth focused strips in the funny pages. the syndication companies are rich with old comic ip but they need artists to modernize the concepts. that's why they've tapped byob. as a youth oriented online message board it's the perfect place to develop cutting edge humor concepts that will draw young eyes to the newspaper again and we will save the local news industry. how it works: post itt to receive your assignment. i will choose a random comic strip and link you the wikipedia article. using what you learn in the article, modernize the strip concept. post an example strip itt. if you need to do a multi part story you can post multiple strips as long as you remember that nobody likes it when comic strips do that. if you post your strip on sunday it has to be in color. example exchange: me: i volunteer to save the local newspaper industry me: your strip is frankie doodle me:

the boys at syndication are passing on a warning. don't get too political with the cat stuff. meanwhile, they loved my frankie doodle stuff. they said they would order a whole week of them.

cda posted:lmfao are you signing up cda? syndication is starting to worry that byob doesn't have the work ethic they were lead to believe. they're starting to say we're spending more time reading the comics than producing them. and if my numbers don't come up, i don't get paid. if i don't get paid, there are no comics. because comics need ink. and ink ain't cheap. |

the new rex morgan is doing big numbers in initial focus testing groups. audiences cited his no-nonsense approach to medicine as one appealing aspect of the strip, and further went on to say "in these trying times". |

syndication just called me out of bed at 3 am for an emergency meeting. they're pulling you off of backbench. they said "it was a mistake to put manifisto on backbench. he's a wildcard, and a provacateur." they are reassigning you to the home front by frank adams. |

Heather Papps posted:altered angles is about a man traveling the psychoverse, ever changing from the man who trips he's a cat and the cat who imagines he's a man this new direction for the strip is resonating with a number of high-value demographics. the animated strips are more expensive to print, but syndication told me "if these analytics are accurate, we don't care what it costs to print the drat thing." lol they love analytics over in syndication. |

i'm down at the presses this morning to see that the first batch of funnies comes out a-ok. the presses are really howling and comics are up up up. everyone here is in good spirits. even some of the newspaper accountants in the little green visors, who are usually posessed of such a cloudy disposition had a smile on their face this morning. hear that? it's print news starting to heal.

owlhawk911 posted:i appreciate that. i'm proud to be working with you to help rejuvenate the funny pages. should we cast a wide net (give me another comic) or really mine this vein (adopt 'the in kids', graft it into my life like a new organ in my body, live it, breathe it, produce 7 strips a week for the next 40 years until my sense of humor, my worldview, and every wry observation on every day life that i have ever had have been wrung out of me 3 times over) the choice is yours. in one hand i am offering you the "in" kids and all the burden that its knowledge will entail. but you can still back out. in the other hand i am offering tom and jerry, a simple two dimensional comic strip about a cartoon cat. the choice is yours.

syndication is making some quick gear shifts after seeing the initial response to this strip. they described the themes of drug legalization and home ownership as the two prongs of their "strategy fork" and they showed us this powerpoint slide.
