That's why I pulled my first feature from them. They always tried to get me to change my feature from the name itself to other aspects. I hung in there for three years before I just couldn't take the huge hassle anymore. I will always be grateful to Mr. Yates though. Could my first feature be bigger than it is? Maybe. I think I did the right thing though. 33 years and counting drawing it (24 on the printed pages). WOO HOO! Next year the 25th anniversary!

This really does hamper an artists creativity. This is actually one huge reason why all us cartoonists create our strips. Seriously we need to be able to express our creativity to achieve our full potential. That's why they call it Artistic Freedom. But alas, we must bow down to the individuals that are actually helping create the problem of dwindling newsprint. In my best reader friendly, 50's acceptable dialogue for strips fit to print Thanks, you bunch of Tight @$$ editors for ruining our vision and hampering our Artistic Freedom! Go #@(% yourselves! (I'm 100% sure Tight @$$ as well as Go #@(% yourselves would be shot down also due to context) Ha,ha,ha! Thanks for letting me vent Alex, we now return you to your normal programming.

Open your epub in that and then run its validator (green tick/check). If there are problems, it usually tells you what they are. Also make sure your meta data is complete - the tags for publisher, title, etc. Good luck! I’m no techie, but you can try the Sigil program.

May I ask advice? I have 58 pages long cartoon which is going to be publish as ebook, but first it has to pass the VALIDATOR. I have began with images of jpg. Then I made a single file with Open Office Draw program which I convert in Calibre. Now it's epub, but it doesn't pass the validator test. http://www.epubconversion.com/ePub-validator-iBook.jsp What should I do? I have searched for advice in internet but I only find that "it is difficult almost impossible". You have made it what I try to do. May I ask advice?

And the strip vaguely reminds me of Calvin and Hobbs, with the snowmen. Not to mention I truly laughed out loud, something I rarely do with cartoons. Must be my juvenile sense of humor. Would love the original of this one! Love this comic, since I don’t really understand the game either. And the strip vaguely reminds me of Calvin and Hobbs, with the snowmen.
