Sorry about not updating The Watermelon Chronicles (Yeah, that's its new name) in a couple days, but I just wasn't feeling up to it. So... yeah. That's my excuse. I'm lazy.

Oh well.

About Me
Name: Leonard Carwile
Age: 24
Most Influential Artists: Bill Watterson, Shigeru Miyamoto, Ben Hurst (... No actual comic book artists. Wow.)

My Philosophy
Topical is evil. If there's one thing I try to avoid, it's blaring through the horn that my characters are jumping on TEH INTARWEBS to enjoy TEH YOUTUBES and play the latest in polybockularize-castoring game console (And don't think that means I'm some anti-gamer - I own a Wii AND an X360.)

To me, making a good comic isn't just about how people look at the comics today. It's how they'll look at it 20 years from now, and how they would have looked at it in, say, 1960 - I don't want to change WITH the times, I want to CHANGE the times.

My Comics
At present, I'm working on two comic book series, loosely tied together by the way of characters, but taking place in two completely different universes. This happened totally by accident - during the Philadelphia comic con of 2006, when I was passing out fliers for what was at the time my only comic, HapoVille; I made one that was kinda a goofy, manga-parody of the comic, and everyone seemed to really like that one. I decided to give a go at a few more manga-esque versions of my characters, and the response was positive. In response, I made a second comic book series, The Pirate Terminators, loosely based off of HapoVille; ultimately, I even caved and made a webcomic series of The Pirate Terminators.

HapoVille
HapoVille is the original, and a more mature take on the characters of itself and The Pirate Terminators. There are no "bad guys" and "good guys" (Much as it may seem otherwise at initial glance), and when creating pages, I do my best not to insult the reader's intelligence - something that actually seems to have made my comics a bit hard to read, according to a few people as well as a review done by David Baxter of Broken Frontier. I don't mind, though - honestly, I think I'd rather have HapoVille as an "underground" or "cult hit" comic than one that conforms to our absurd culture.

The Pirate Terminators
The Pirate Terminators and its spinoff webcomic series, because Lord knows I haven't linked the site enough in this bio, present a chance for me to really have fun with comic books. In The Pirate Terminators, NOTHING is sacred, and for all that matter, nothing has to make sense. You'll encounter no hidden morals or politics if you read between the lines for this comic - just blank spaces. It's all about enjoying the big show, baby.

Hey, sorry if I don't write back much... I tend to neglect ComicSpace. Good to see you're still working on your comics, though; I'll have to remember to check out the new pages of Eternal!

Sup Leanord! :D I read what you wrote on your page on the right, and I've ALWAYS felt that way man! We don't need to change with the times, we gotta CHANGE it ourselves! WE are the ones that gonna innovate and break molds, whether it comes to comics or manga! :D That's why my manga don't look like Naruto, Trigun, BLeach, pointy noses and no chins lol We gotta be revolutionaries on how we do our shit man. If not, how will we stand out as artists if we copycat? I ain't no sheep! lol I wanna break ground man! lol It's refreshing to find someone that feels the same as me. I thought I was alone in this lol Thanks for the add, and keep up the great work man, your manga's hilarious and well drawn :) I saw it on Drunk Duck too. Congrats on gettin front page man :) Feel free to drop by my page to check out Eternal sometime, it's just gettin good :) Stay up bro. Peace :)-GIO
