This may count as a follow up to today's journal or not but either way I find it curious.It's been a while since I've checked the GoComics front page and I just found out that Yenny counts as an 'Alternative' strip! Whatever that means.
And here I was thinking that I was being as mainstream as possible.Not that I'm complaining either but I didn't know I was that "edgy".
Sometimes I feel like I live in the 'Da Vinci code' of comics. Sometimes I get clues of why certain things happen.For example; For 3 years I've been trying to get Yenny into newspapers trough a syndicate. The closer I've got to that is Gocomics, (A Universal Press division) which syndicates Yenny trough the net. This has been an enormous window to show my work to several important places and to catch a nice quantity of readers.
I think that I got the feeling of the strip a year and a half ago. The response of the readers have been good and I'm happy for that. Some online clubs appear, people ask for your stuff and it even gets published by a comic book company.
So you'd think that the strip might be ready for syndication, right?Maybe...Maybe not?
I've sent samples of my work to several syndicates but either I don't get an answer or they send me the usual reject slip that they have on their right desk drawer.Why is it rejected? Yenny's shorts are too short, and no cute animals. Just an annoying lizard who torments the girl and creates Crap Ice Cream, ( Short for CranBerry apple)
Is the strip THAT edgy? I don't think so. After all it does gets published in Puerto Rico in an island wide newspaper.So far nobody complains about this thigs, In fact, some people here thinks the humor is too MILD!Go figure!!
