OK,so Sally is somewhere there?

Wasn't Nurse Sally in Antarctica?

Maybe she's the reason Antarctica's been warming up in recent years.


Oh, wait, you meant a section in the pictures. Sorry.

Slight question not sure if asked before, when you starting making webcomics how did you start? Like how many comics did you start with, getting peoples attention, whatever you did to start off this place? (If I can ask that unless its a secret?)

Started back in 2003 (I think) with the absurdly crap Sh*thouse (can be seen on www.pipingrad.com).
I originally did that strip as a joke about crap webcomics and how anyone can do them, but people liked it, so I kept going.
Sequential Art began because I wanted to do a "proper" comic.

Must ask, where did you get the inspiration for Scarlet?!

Me probably or my friend Kim. We act very much the same. But as JJ has never seen us before, probably not.

So starting crappy but people liking it to get better... must investigate this.

Scarlet just appeared one day in a random pin-up. The design was perfect from the get-go.
Her personality developed over time, just like all the others.

I must admit I envy your means of transportation and would totally call you a genius is I ever had the chance.

Are we talking about my real-world scooter, or cartoon-world clevage?
Cuz the former is f**king scary in winter!

Cartoon cleavage!!!

I'm new to the forum, but I am curious about new books for the pages of SA you haven't published yet.

Any plans on throwing down a triple header of books to fill in the gaps between SA 1 and SA 2? I'm interested in buying the first two, but it'd be a shame to be missing out on all of the action.

Not sure what you mean.
Volumes 1 and 2 of the SA books feature the first 200 (or so) strips. Nothing's missing.

There's going on 600 strips, I believe. Wondering when strips 200-600 are gonna come out in books..Or do the current books hold a lot more than I think they're holding?

Just so you know, not meaning to sound like a jerk, if I've come off that way. I'm just curious. I like the strip and owning the whole series(up to this point) in book form would be the shit.

What pin-up it it was?

And...on DA you wrote about old games,which don't work on Vista.
Had you tried "compability mode"?

Will Sky, Jade or Scarlet ever make a guest appearance in The Fred Perry Gold digger universe?

And was Helga Born or Built(genetically engineered.)? If she was born are there child hood pictures? If built what was her prototype?

Uh, that's highly unlikely. I'd love them to, but I don't think Mr Perry would have any interest in using them.

Helga was born. Can't go into detail, as I'm saving that story for later

I see.

In the Chloe comic a while back, Chloe mentions someone called "Jeffries". Who is this guy? Will he appear in future Chloe sketches?

Ok., this is not a question towards your work, Mr. Jackson, but about this forum. I hope they're allowed.

So...

*ahem*

Why there is a signature option and yet I can't see mine or others?
Is it something with me doing something wrong or it's just the forum setting or something?

No idea. I've played around with the settings, but sigs just seem to be out at the moment.

That's bizarre. I hope they work again soon.

Meeester Jack? Are you ever planning on making a Dot Zombie 3?
I really loved DZ 2.5.

oi oi JJ you want me to toy around with the forum for you? I am an admin for a different Forumotion site I might be able to get it all spiffy.

I have a few new games in mind. One of them is a huge exploration game. No real aim to it, it's just for people that like to make maps and trade information with each other on where to find the best sights and treasures.
Dot Zombie 3 is bound to show up at some point, as soon as I come up with a good scenario.
