Wrote an update for the comic. It counts. Though I feel like it doesn’t somehow. I’ll copy and paste for you. Here’s the link if you like: GEC

WINTER BREAK & FGCU STORIES
ADDRESSED TO THE READERS:
Me & Ed would first off like to thank all of you for supporting the GEC. We’ve been established one full semester and the Eagle News now views us as a substantial source of content. That said, we still need as many friends as we can get. The waters are still murky. However, by all means, our relationship with the paper is now much stronger.
Secondly, in order to be properly represented, we ask that you click on this link (must have a tumblr): http://www.tumblr.com/directory/recommend/comics/genericeaglecomic .
It will ensure that we are listed on the tumblr directory as a comic. This way our comic can gain a bit of legitimate internet credence (which has always been so hard since “Chocolate Rain” set the bar so high).
Lastly, an announcement for those of you who are FGCU students. Next semester (Spring 11’), the GEC will be launching a new program directed towards the students. The idea, with your help, is too chronicle real students’ happenings at FGCU. This will give the student body a more defined identity; something the FGCU culture currently lacks.
————————————————————————————————————————
The Idea is this:
1. We will ask you to send in your story (Cartoon@eaglenews.org).
It must be about student life, the university, or something relatively related. You do not have to be a student to participate. You can be a professor, worker, janitor, or anything connected to student life and the university. But STUDENTS WILL GET TOP CONSIDERATION.
2. Once sent in, Ed and I will look at it. If we like it, we’ll ask you if we can use it. And if you want us to credit you in the story. You may make anonymous entries.
If you say yes, then: You will, by default, have to give your permission to the EagleNews (an e-mail or two with our editor). This way we can protect your rights and our own.
If you say no, then: Why’d you send in a story if you didn’t want us to use it? You must like the attention. That’s okay. Go change your major to theater.
3. The story will be translated into a comic, which will be published in FGCU’s student paper; The Eagle News. It will also be published on this tumblr. And, you will be awarded the original art of your own comic. Our gift in exchange for your story and a way of saying thanks.

Look for promotions of this next semester around campus. If you have any stories already in mind, we are accepting stories as of now. Cartoon@eaglenews.org
Happy Holidays FGCU, Fort Myers, Florida, and the world from the Generic Eagle Comic.

Here marks a new use for this blog. I don’t know what to call it yet, other than practice. Everyday, I will write something here. Correction:
I will write everyday.
Maybe personal, maybe not. But something. And if not here, somewhere and I’ll show you. I’ll scan it. I’ll show you a picture. While I’m typing this, I’m trying to believe I’ll respect the rules I’m laying down. Institutions to better yourself are almost always underminded by yourself. I think we reach too hard or fast, or vice versa some times. So, I’ll start slow and make the least I have to write one sentence. A quality sentence mind you.
ENTRY #1:
Saying someone isn’t funny is a mono-psychotic billboard created to reach a self satisfying, mythical, and useless seat of entitlement. It also isn’t funny.

NEWS:
1. The GEC has survived for an entire semester. Me & Ed are proud of this. We are working on a long term project you might hear about later, too. If I’m back next semester, we have some exciting plans for it and the GEC. We’ve also made a commitment to better our skills and thus better our comics. This explains the one thing a day thing. He’s starting to sketch and read his McCloud. I lent him “Making Comics”. And by lent I mean, I’ll never see it again.
2. May or may not be ending up at FSU.
3. May be starting a comic club and a zine next semester. This way I could promote more comics at FGCU. I could also make a student organized publication. I don’t think we have any of those, so it would be another first. I could also meet a lot of creative types this way. I’m always looking for those to stop my brain from clawing at the walls.
4. According to the stats WordPress supplies, more people are reading this blog. Who are they? Really? Who reads this? Why?
5. I‘m looking into better ways to host comics on the web. I mean image quality, site quality, and practicality. If anyone has any advice, comment or send me an e-mail.
Also, need to research copy right and how to protect original properties. If you can help me, do so.

Semi-exciting news net dwellers! Ed & I, after five minutes of conversation, have brought the Generic Eagle Comic to the internet! That’s right! Now you can read from the very beginning, and don’t have to be an FGCU member to enjoy this once in a lifetime experience! WEEEEE!
But, really, go read it. My writing doesn’t seem so bad if you have them all next to one another. On another note, my 24 hour comic made it to a official looking spot on one of the official 24 hour blogs. It is just nice to look at really.
That’s all for now, stay good baddies.
