Before making your own funny you were reading: Obsidian's Lament, Grimlock_13's Attempt At Funnies, TCracker's Mind Numb, TransShinki World (and friends), Warring at Play, Out Of The Dead Land, The life Of CamShaft, The Toys of Pedro's Room, C-Dub's Funnies, The Kingdom of Evan...
This list could go on and on, not even mentioning the ones I started reading after I started my own funny.

What you find funny: Are You Being Served?, Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld, Mr. Bean, Cosby Show, Still Standing, stuff like that.

Strips done: Otispq's Osum Oddities, aka: The OOO

Personal fave/most proud of funny: Making toy characters in my comic of actual board members, DA, Grimlock_13 & TCracker are fun to write for. Secondly, but more realistically: The ongoing interactions with the readers. Their comments provide much of my material, and without them I'd not have near as much fun making them.

The OOO is waiting for Yooo!

Name: Anodythe

Occupation/Background: Wife, Mother, Tour Guide/Reenactor,
Veteran US Air Force (photographer)

Strip: really...I'm married...oh that kind of strip...AnodytheandKids

How we found TFW2005: Serendipity! The guy who installed our internet gave us the site name after I told him that all the bots on the shelf were mine. Apparently he went to Bot Con last time. Hope he had a great time, cause I am so glad he told us about all of you!

Strips we frequent: Well...on both sides of an 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet we have our current reading list by name and page number. We like "doing the voices". But the first strip I read was Obsidians Lamant, as I was catching up on Beast Wars and the name just stuck out.

Most proud of: The fact that the kids and I have found something we can work on together and a husband who tolerates it!

And special thanks to Buzzbeak who really helped this neophyte computer user!!!

Name: Zherbus

Age/sex: 32, male

Occupation/background: IT Professional

Before making your own funny you were reading: See below, but Warring at Play took my fan-comic reading virginity. Out of the Dead Land followed, then others.

Strips done: Transformers: The Classics War. It has a TF:A shorts in there with some joke TF-movie posters, but it's pretty much just the main storyline comic.

Personal fave/most proud of moment: Roadbuster stepping on a Bombshell Insecticon clone was the funnest I've had hackin' up an image.

FFEO faves: Warring at Play, Out of the Dead Land, TCrackers Mind Numb, and Transformers: Retribution are all inspirations for writing my own epic. There are a lot of talented folks in the funnies forum, I try to read them all and usually enjoy them quite a bit.

Advice for others: When doing a new comic, just plain come out and ask to be picked apart. If you take the criticism and improve, you'll start cranking out a lot better stuff than you thought possible.

Oh, and if you're writing a serious comic - try to write out your story board ahead of time.

Name: Sage o' G-fruit, or Sage for short.

Age/sex/status: 14 / Male / Who cares?

Occupation/background: Student.

Before making your own funny you were reading: Words

What you find funny: The 3 Stooges, anything from Schnieder pretty much, sarcastic people.

Strips done: I do a comedy strip called Unicromedy (click the sig), and a new (as of this post) serious comic called Transformers Matrix.

Personal fave/most proud of funny: Wreckers for the photography.

FFEO faves: Um..FFEO means Fun For Every One I suppose, but since the funnies have been changed to a whole thread, I guess anything by Shane Anderson, Out of the Dead Land, Prime Time, Murphy's LAWL, The Incredible Abuse, Comic Fluff and...Buzzbeak, or course.

Advice for others: GIMP is free, and has a nice learning curve, and there's a free Comic Life download for 30 days. Also, the tutorial thread is amazing for noobs. You get some great tips there, no matter what you use. You might be able to even add some of your own.
