Hi everyone! I finished working with iWeb and let me tell you, it's great! I made a lot of webpages since I installed it, one for my personal profile (I work on a radio show in Florida so it is some kind of a website for fans) another for business (I still working on that one, I don't liked it..) and this one I created just for all of us that love online comics (I mean a real online comic, with nice drawings and all not a wannabe kind of comic) my inspiration was of course my Mac. so I will like you to read it and tell me what do you think about it. It's called: SHUTDOWN OS LAND, and it is a story of OS battle and adventure. Enjoy!

thanx!

can I see that logo? any link? I didn't received any other logo like that when I was registering it... but I will like to know about that one and maybe make some changes.

EDIT:
Nevermind, I found it.

it looks similar but it's also very different on concept. so I'll stay with it!

I second that motion. Slang is fine for a comic strip when you're trying to portray a character in a certain way, but missing letters from a word (scared), using the wrong form of a word (what did you say [not said] my son?), and other errors like that are beyond annoying.

Ok ok... my english is not good. I'm still learning even right now, I am writing the script in english from start, that means that it doesn't matter if my primary language is spanish, I'm not translating anything, I'm doing it in english from scratch and I'm just fixing words with Spell Catcher App so I really apreciate any help I can get from you guys, because of that I'm posting my script here:

ShutDown OS Land Chapter One Script

the password is: macnn

please check it out and help me with my spelling errors, I want to keep working with this idea.

thanx in advance.

OK, I ran through it and made some edits. I think you need to decide on a tense for the narration. Is he telling the story in the past tense or the present tense? I would have thought present more appropriate but for the moment it's a bit schizophrenic. Good luck.

Nice work! The art is really great. And I agree that the English could use some work, but thats an easy fix. I like the layout and everything. Keep up the good work!

Scripts are always present tense.
We're being shown something, therefore for us, it is happening now. Even flashbacks are present tense, with some indication that it took place in the past.

I'll be editing for tense now.
