Ask Jolly Jack!

I didn't know there was a fanart page

Any chance this could get updated?

Deadpool: does he deserve his own movie/series?

He has his own series. And Marvel was Ryan Renolds to reprise his Deadpool role onscreen

Weird question, but I'm just curious; what happened on Nov. 3rd 2009 that caused so many people to log onto the forum at once?

I think it was the birth of the new forum page...idk

First nude of Kat I bet

Assuming this has not been asked yet, Jack, do you plan on taking on the immense challenge of coloring all of your strips by the end of your career?

Mr Jackson

What do you think about cartoons that were produced in USSR? Especially interested in your opinion of animation style.

Brilliant examples:

I may go back and colour a few of my faves, but not the whole lot!

There's something about the absurdity that I just don't like. It's the same with western cartoons of the same nature.

JJ, this is a weird question, but... have you ever made a mine?

this is the kind of question that gets me on the FBI watch list

Jolly Jack,

Are you aware that your name (JollyJack) is in the game "Red Dead Redemption"? "JollyJack's Chewing Tobacco."

As in; "explosive"? No.

I have recruited a number of orphaned immigrants to dig coal from a shaft in my back yard though....

No one has ever pointed that out to me.

No one.

The question of Vanity as a Goth. Seeing as she represents a (albeit subversive) version of the culture, is she actually a hardcore Goth or more just into the clothing and the literature?

Also of all people, does Chloe have self esteem issues?

No one.

So, while we're at it...

... do you chew tobacco?

Or have you tried it at least?

Or do you have anything to do with any kinds of tobacco?

Check it out sometime. or maybe I will take a picture of it and send it to you.

Vanity was a bit of both when younger. She's nowhere near as glum as she used to be.

Chloe? Self esteem issues? HAH

Hell no.

Ah! Candy muncher and a Lolipop leech?

I vote for Ptasie mleczko, our Polish speciality. This is my vice.
Unfortunately, the one of many and the least dangerous.

Ok., while SA strips are now focused on Lovercraftian-like mythos, I have a very important question that every fan of SA has probably already anwsered. I'd like to find out SA author thoughts on this matter, and the question is :

Would you rather spend your holidays in the ancient city of R'lyeh with Cthulhu and his mates, come back home with souvenirs and photos, or in Quinten Labs with Quinten and Squirrel girls, but with no warranty that you'll come back with souvenirs?

Will you ever update your blog? I always liked looking at the subject and then the nice sketches.

If one of your works became a runaway hit. and you got offered the options to have a movie based off if it. who would you have as the director?

How you plan out and organize scripts and story-layout??

I find out that when I have writing this comic project of mine, I somehow manage to always mess it up sometimes so badly I can't figure out myself. 8(

I've been really slack at keeping up with the blog/twitter.
Must find the time!

I suppose it would depend on the work being used. I don't know much about movies, though (aside from which I like to watch).

For Sequential Art, I write down quick little scripts/gag ideas in a notebook as I come up with them. They aren't in any order, I just pick the one I want to use next and type it up in a word processor to check the spelling and make any last minute changes.
I then transfer the text to a template that I have set up, and draw the images around it.

For larger comics, like Little Victory, I write out the entire script before I begin drawing. With a project that large, you really need to do the foundation work, or the whole thing falls apart.

How about you make a Role Playing Section of the forum, because the users seem to like it and it won't clog up the main general talk.

I would suggest someone like Frank Oz, Wes Anderson or Joel Coen. But make it independent. Hollywood likes to twist your ideas and pump out action figures but independent film makers get more creative control.

This is quite obvious, at least for me, but I have a question :

What do you do, when a new idea pops up but script is finished and you've drawn few pages? Do you add that idea to the script and thus to the comic or consequently follow the version you've approved at start of drawing?
