I am developing a comic strip based around the everyday life of TWHL including noobs, server errors, atom appearing, mass debates, irc etc etc. I haven't finished a full episode yet, but to keep it short, they will all be 4 frames, and more only if necessary, to keep development times down. I don't have a working scanner at the moment, so I have to draw using photoshop + mouse :( But I am doing ok. Here is a sneak preview of the first episode, entitled "ZOMGSKILLZ!1":

Story: A CS nerd joins TWHL, posts useless spam, gets executed.

Frame 1: The nerd queues up at the register booth of the TWHL HQ.
Frame 2: The nerd is greeted by Seventh-Monkey.
Frame 3: The nerd posts goatse.
Frame 4: The nerd faces a public execution in front of a collection of TWHL'ers.

You can see a graphical preview here: http://www.m0px.net/images/TWHLComicStrip/1.png (NOTE: Only one frame is present and isn't complete as of yet.)

master, try not to make it very detailed and high count because you WILL make lots of images in LOTS of strips so make everything simple

I agree. Needs to be about 150% of that size.

Nice, though. I like the mouse-drawn look, better than pencils :P.

no.

make things as much detailed as possible, but make archives of your work (backgrounds, characters, ...) to be able to use them again on other stories, with maybe some editing to not look "omg copy/paste nub!"
Make it bigger
I agree too

So that would be:

400,000,000,000,000 * OMG

Hmm...

Four-hundred thousand billion OMGs. Try to post it and you are bound to get a [message limit exceeded] added to the end of your post :P .

(oh wait, I think I get it...ZillionOMG?)

Nah, I think 400,000,000,000,000 is four hundred trillion. Billion < Trillion < Zillion, methinks.

Sure you can. And guess what... its the same number. trillion billion means 1,000,000,000,000 x 1,000,000,000 while billion trillion means 1,000,000,000 x 1,000,000,000,000 and both of these are = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 and i dont know what that number is.

lament, it is conventional to start with lower multipliers (i.e. "a hundred thousand" versus "a thousand hundred").

Not sure what Hunter's comment was aimed at though. Perhaps my inequality?

What kind of crazy hijack was that? Hijacked by math, you should be frickin' ashamed.

The comic looks great, I laughed at the goatse, but I always do.
