Hello! I write/draw Salt the Holly (http://www.salttheholly.com) and write/photograph But Not Really (http://www.butnotreally.com).
Salt the Holly was my vehicle for teaching myself to draw, and I'm sure you'll notice the art at the beginning is a little... ouch. In any case, the story follows a small group of people who get swept up into a rivalry between two clans (a little like being in the middle of a mob dispute). The world is slightly different than our own but modern and similar enough not to cause many issues. I'd call it PG-13 for cartoon violence ^.^
But Not Really is more of a gag-a-day style. I think there's something for everyone. I have a really fun group of friends who are willing to act and be ridiculous in public, so that makes it fun.
Hope you enjoy one or both - feedback/critique is always appreciated.
Welcome to the site amanda. The jokes for But Not Really are quite a amusing. You are really tapping into the whole young people running around acting like maniacs vibe. It's got a really good feel to it.
I do see the massive art improvement with Salt the Holly. Nice job. My art will improve the moment I stop making it.
LOL.
Anyway, welcome again. I hope you like it here. ;)
People are generally so anti-photo comic, but I think you've done a nice job with the look of it (particularly the baloon strip). The whole thing has kind of a "cute" feel. I like that you're experimenting with animation and different means of bringing the comic across.
You can tell that both you and your friends (or profesionally paid models...) are having a lot of fun with it, and I think that will be the most important thing in continuing the quality of the comic.
Good job on both comics! The latest But Not Really is very funny.

Thank you guys =D
I'm not paying or bribing people to be in BNR - they're willing volunteers - and we always have an absolute blast.
Somehow, I read the first 50 BNRs (really?) without realizing I'd read that many. I larfed!
Ah haha, yes! They're bite-sized, so they have the same danger as Pringles and such.
