I can draw + photoshop. We could do this; if only someone would come up with the ideas for the strips.

 

[ViviTheMage]

It cant be that hard, the 'ideas' are all in the archives...or the threads with 'year 200x highlighted threads of the year'.

 

[nakedfrog]

Let's see a prototype.

 

[AstroManLuca]

It'd be fun for long time ATOTers but not for a wider audience.

 

[RESmonkey]

hmm...well I'll be more than happy to help if somene finalizes an idea for a strip.

What would the characters be like? Our avatars? Would this be in color?

I think it'd be great, even for newbies, or people who have never frequented ATOT.

Why? Because we would try to hit a larger audience, and not just OT...just get ideas from OT threads.

I will talk to RESMonkey and see what he thinks we can do.

I think we would need a good name for the strip, and maybe the 'type' of characters...the obvious neffer, tween ( maybe..), 1-3 main characters, some sort of authoritative character (mod in essence), troll(s)...etc.

As long as the list of characters does not get to large, and hard to follow.

all in all, take the threads and create good jokes out of them, using the main characters mentioned above.

If done well, it could be great! Tons of stories for sure.

I'd like to see a few strips before passing judgment. You are going to get flamed to hell and high water for publishing something on ATOT that takes actual effort and creativity. Just DO NOT take any of it to heart.

 

[krunchykrome]

this is a cool idea vivi

 

[Vehemence]

Is there a strip for the entire Nate than Lever joke? If not, make one.

 

[nakedfrog]

Can my part be played by Angelina Jolie?

Sounds like a good name for the strip.

'Dont take this to heart.'

Maybe kind of lame...but its an idea.

Sounds like a late '80s R&B single.

I think the first strip could be something like Anand being god with an ant farm kind of thing.

Frame 1: Anand cracks open his web server and starts loading Fuse Talk (or whatever the original forum software was)
Frame 2: He spills cofee on the keyboard, sparks ensue, lightning shoots forth from his monitor.
Frame 3: Animated Dennifloss, PAB, Red Dawn, Lolawiz, Nick and all the legendary AT'ers come flying out and start tearing apart his web server, internet connection (sucking the bandwidth from the lines), etc. like little trolls

hopefully. I think RES is definitely down with the idea.

this will be a good starter.

I will have to make a thread requesting good 'strip quality' threads...but thats a later day.

For now--any ideas on what a good clip may look like? We could even take the time to link to the thread, and reference each user.

I just don't want to TARGET anyone in particular, just their character and roll they played in the thread...but using the strips main characters.

LOL, have an entire graphic novel series dedicated to the joke.

good start, I was thinking of a quick 3 frame comic too.

Fuse talk is what we use atm anyway .

I suppose this would also be acceptable

I can see it turning into xkcd by the second strip. Which isn't a bad thing by any means.

Hey, I've got an idea, why don't we just take stuff from xkcd?

I have only read a few XYCD, so hopefully there wont be too much overlapping
