I should specify that by "negative" I mean negative "sounding" or a negative "tone". In my book, constructive criticism *is* a postive reply. Throwing out every available cuss word and insult, is a negative reply. I'm just not using the word "negative" its its strictest sense, I suppose. In regards to The Wanderer comic: The navigation is what bothered me the most. I would have just made the original page a lot bigger and skipped the enlarging feature for each frame. It's a lot easier to scroll down to read the comic, than to have to click to view each frame; and hit the "back" button continuiously. I'm being picky because I am a web designer/developer and navigation is a key part of designing a web site. I'm not a big fan of Ninja to begin with so between that and the navigation I stopped at the second page. I must say that I do love the concept. Turning simple dioramic pictures into a comic-style story adds quite a bit to the project. I noticed Wilson? has started to do this too with his stories of Vincent Gage? (sorry, memory not so good). I'd love to do this as well, but my time is so limited; I'd have no time to go through each frame and *add* in the text and effects. Which is why I can appreciate what you and others are accomplishing. "Cotton Candyland?" The first thing I thought of was the Smurf Village :) "laaa laaaa, laa la la la, laaa laa la la la............" -Kyle

(...) I would agree with this suggestion. The base pages were just small enough that my eyes could not make out the words. If these images were just a bit bigger I would not have had to zoom in on every image with lettering, just the ones that (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) Well said. See also Larry's reply - I agree with his post as well. ... Sure, we all like to hear good things about our work. It makes us feel good, and prompts us to make more.
