Updated: Twice weekly on Sundays and Thursdays
Archived: All strips are now archived, but look in the Special Extras section for bonus strips.
Format: Three panels, the same piece of clip-art in each panel, balloons added for speech, thought, and narration.
(Some of) The Rules I Follow:
No changes to the art from frame to frame, but small changes to the
original clip (usually size or orientation) are sometimes necessary.
Never use the same clip in two strips. No repeating characters. No
overtly political humor. Nothing topical that will not be funny a year
from now. No strips without a gag (preferably multiple gags). Offensive
subjects and language are fine if they're central to the humor. No
self-referential humor. No breaking the fourth wall. Stay dark, keep
your edge, but come up for air now and then.
Project Started: 1998 for Scene magazine, then abandoned. Ressurected in December 2001.
Website Started: February 2002
Site traffic: Around 40,000 hits, 1 GB transfer a day, and climbing.
Upcoming Events: A new book
collection called "Suffering For My Clip-Art: The Best of
PartiallyClips vol. 1" is due out in July 2005 from Unseen
Productions. This new collection contains only the best
strips (selected in part by helpful readers) from the first three years
of the strip's history.
Adjunct Projects: PartiallyClips
is not my only creative project. It's not even my only comic
strip. Be sure to check out Cliptoons, a comic I co-write with
its original creator John Hartzell. When you vote for
PartiallyClips on whatever vote board I am currently attached to,
you'll see a bonus comic called Screen Cap Comics, a shameless
trampling of other people's IP rights I update about twice a week at
random. Then there is my filk writing and singing, which you can
learn more about at RichFantasyLives.com.
How You Can Help:
Vote for the strip every day by clicking the Vote button in the upper
left. Tell your friends, and link this site from your website or in
your blog. Through Cafe Press, every single strip is available on
a mug and t-shirt. These are quite legible and nice, despite what
you may have heard about Cafe Press products. If you would like
any strip on any other item of Cafe Press merchandise, just email me
and make the request.
