Creating Your Own Internet Comic Strip

Develop Some Characters:

Now let's get to the actual characters in your comic. Without fail, they must be composed of the following:

1) "Wacky" male character. This is the principle character that the comic focuses on. He should be off-the-wall, say hilarious things, and get into infinitely amusing situations. Make sure he's not fat or ugly, because nobody wants to read a comic about fat ugly people.
2) "Wacky" male character's male friend. This person should be a good pal, somebody the main character hangs out and makes jokes with. He should also offer sarcastic remarks and suggestions from time to time.
3) Female character. The female, under NO circumstance, should EVER have an interesting personality. The entire purpose of the female character is to make snide comments whenever the "wacky" male characters say or do something stupid. She must have a one-dimensional attitude and exist solely to appear in the last panel, muttering something incredibly sarcastic. This is because in real life, females are never humorous and live just to keep the males from doing intensely stupid things like lighting each other on fire or trying to drink Windex.
4) A cute, non-human character. This can be anything from an alien to a talking dog. The cute character should make a cameo appearance in one of the early strips and then disappear for a while. After you're flooded with numerous requests asking to bring him back, you should begin inserting him into every other panel and making a large line of consumer apparel with the character's likeness printed on them (ie, shirts, hats, mugs, mousepads, stickers, tombstones, etc). The primary purpose of this character is just to sell merchandise, so choose wisely; your income may depend on it!

Clueless boss, annoying couple, foreign guy, idiot next door neighbor, slutty girl.
