Well, unless you are doing consignments, pipe making lets you go at your own pace. I am sure it is a great stress reliever as well as allowing you artistic freedom.
And a New P&T Web Comic Was Born...

WE DEMAND MORE COMIX!
:nana:
j/k
Don't be shirking yer pipemaking duties!
:wink:
...what about a comic with a couple of yer pipes? One is smoked and the other is unsmoked, having a convo about what they think about reality, a kind of existential inquiry about the nature of being and the meaning of everything...sounds like a crowd pleaser, yes? :P

I thought about that but I don't know if I'll include my own pipes in this or not. It's obvious promo potential, sure, but I'd really rather use the strip to showcase other brands and styles that I think are interesting, that IMO don't get enough attention or press. Honestly, I'm halfway tempted to just do some comics that are nothing but the two main Zillas discussing pipe stuff, without even necessarily having punchlines.
...OTOH, that might be too dull for mass consumption. I'm probably the only person on earth who wants to see two Godzilla toys discussing the finer points of Kirstens for eight panels...

It works on three levels for me: I like pipe smoking, I like comics and I like Godzilla. I grew up watching the old Godzilla/Kaiju flicks, love them in all their cheesiness. Even watched Ghidorah last night, my 11 y/o likes Godzilla and I told him to pick something that didn't make me want to kill myself.
Looking forward to the next installment whenever it pops up. Needs a series name.

...what about Zodgrilla Forum Funnies
:lol:
or Treverthimble Theatre
or Big Lizards With Radioactive Breath Speak Eloquently About Briar Pipes
or Monster Island Pipe Talk
or Kaijukajagoogoo
Monster Island Pipe Talk is great, although I already know of at least two other Godzilla-related web comics that use Monster Island in the titles. I'm really fond of Big Lizards with Radioactive Breath speak eloquently of Briar Pipes too - the challenge there will be fitting it into the title space!
This was not something I expected to see when I signed in on the forums today. But I freaking love it! I loved Godzilla as a kid, and although I haven't seen the new one yet, I fully intend to. I love comics... all kinds. And I love pipes. Three of my favorite things all thrown into one. Great stuff!
OK, this one is dedicated to everyone who's ever been a moderator on any internet forum, ever...
I had so much fun doing that that I made an immediate follow-up:
FWIW, I've now assembled these together on a dedicated comic site, in bigger versions with archives and easy browsing and all. I think I'm going to keep on doing them for a while at least. They're loads of fun to make, and don't take much time, unlike my old hand-drawn web comic.
