Would anyone in their right mind buy a comic book of talking heads for 48 or so pages?
It would be two people answering the same questions about their friendship, but never hearing the others answers. Sort of a "he said, she said" sort of thing.
Not that I could draw it myself or it would ever actually exist outside my head, but I wish I to know.

It sounds like it would play better as a weekly or daily strip. Try one here. There's a site for creating a a strip called toonlet.com. Good luck!
Thanks for the site, Geewits. It's interesting, but there isn't much art to it.
Sure, you can sort of design the characters, but you can't place them in the panel. You can't have more than one character per panel. The word balloons are always right over head so there's no way to pace what you have the characters say or even set it up in an interesting way.
I can see how it could be a useful tool for people knew to the way that comics are structured, but I want a lot more freedom than it'll allow me.
Also, they site sort of owns everything that people do. As in they can republish it in a not-for-profit way without your permission. And you can't sell your comics, either.
Anyway, I made one.
I liked it! To be honest I've never used it. I just knew about it through another blogger. I was hoping you'd like it, but oh well.
Well, since I never buy comic books, I guess I'm not the right person to ask.
Geewits -- It's not your fault that the site wasn't built for people who stare at comics and think about panel and word balloon placement. It was a good idea, though.
Jazz -- Okay, how about a movie. Would you see a movie that's two talking heads? They're not in the same room. They're talking about the same thing. And the camera cuts between the two of them. Would you see that movie?
Yep. I would. I like the concept.
Good to know. Thanks.
