    Seeing as how Lulu.com provides customers the option to print color either on value or standard or premium quality paper, it really is a matter of taste. If you don’t want to make a photo-quality book, then you can go on value paper, which would resemble a comic book the most. Otherwise, you’d have a really heavy book if all the pages were coated and photo quality. Therefore, I’m currently experimenting with colors and half-toning it so that the printer will print LESS ink onto the page and hopefully reducing any warping on their value line of paper. Of course, I haven’t ordered a color value proof yet, so I really don’t know what it’ll look like. I just know that if you order the standard paper line with color, the pages are going to be coated and heavier, much like a photo. And my comic book art isn’t that painterly. So we’ll see.

  • Robin Williams The Funny Man The Sad Clown

    “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” By Bobby McFerrin, featuring Robin Williams in music video

    Everyone seemed to love this man. He had a prolific media career. Multi-generational.

    The reason for this particular post has to do with taking the burden of keeping everyone happy on your shoulders. Who is really the brave one? Who is the coward?

    In life, imagine there are a lot of losers and very, very few real winners. Imagine the load on one’s shoulders who has to keep everyone going, keep them happy, keep them sane. You’d have to use so much reverse-psychology just so they think they are actually winning in life.

    So the question I present is:

    Would you lose in life to give someone you cared a sliver of hope of winning?

    Everyone’s miserable and sad, and the guy that makes you happy you won’t let find his happiness. Or when he needs to be sad, you won’t let be sad, because you want him to be happy to keep you happy. It’s kinda greedy, isn’t it?

    So would you lose?

  • Machines Do Thinking For You On The Internet

    Some sad news. If you can’t think for yourself, soon the machines will do the thinking for you. The fact that a child has to be reminded not to post cyberbullying comments shows they weren’t taught any proper behavior outside of the Internet, aka the real world. And maybe that’s the perfect tool to control the masses. People are so dumb and ignorant they’re willing to let machines do the thinking for them nowadays.

    I wonder why it’s so hard for some people to learn not to hurt others if they don’t want to be hurt themselves. That’s something we all learn growing up… unless you were completely bulletproof and stepped on people your whole life, never understanding hate and suffering. But people who probably grow up advantageous in society probably don’t use a lot of technology.

    Poor people, on the other hand, for fear they look ignorant or not caught up with the times, are the ones who consume the most technology. So I wager it’s them doing the most trash-talking. Just letting it out. Prime candidates for mind control because they surrender it willingly so as not to look dumb and uneducated.
