First friends, then comics...
Here's the first round of some people I'd like you too meet, and hopefully give a warm welcome too. They are all (except for one) brand new here!
First up is Vesteban, a maker of comics, who's gotten quite good in the time I've know him. I think we can expect great things from him!
cutthruyou is a buddy of mine from FB, who's a good natured bloke who know his way around comics, makes cosplay stuff, and whatever other project crosses him mind

These next two guys are writers, they are acerbic, cynical, and fearless...my kind of people, y'know?

Swarddraws, isn't new here, but hadn't been on for about a year until he heard me talking about it...so I'm taking credit for it. He's also a maker of comics, as well as a tattoo artist, podcaster, along with many other ventures. Well all just have to wait and see where he takes us every week. Hopefully it'll be less post with illustrations, as he is coming dangerously close to getting better than I am.

Last, but defiantly not least Comicspectrum, which would be Bob Bretall the world record holder for owing the largest comic book collection!!! He's read every single comic he owns. So the man knows a thing or two about comic books. And of course he reviews them...I'd say his opinion, given how many he's read, is always worth checking out

I'll introduce some more of my friends who have joined steemit next week! I figure that'll work out better for everyone. Gives everyone a bit more of a spotlight if I do a few at a time.
So...check out their stuff, follow 'em...do what you do, give them the warm welcome you gave me! You're all more savvy on what contests are out there and what groups and hashtags might help them, so feel free to lay some info on them. Especially in regards to discord, which I only sort of know how to use. (discord, for those who don't know, is more or less the massaging service connected to steemit. There's no inbox or message box...people just use discord. It's a cross between an inbox and a chat room...sort of...look I've only been on here since May, I don't know everything yet)
And to you new guys, you know I don't open my mouth about something unless I'm pretty certain I know what I'm talking about/ have dug into it myself, so I did a test run of getting steem turned into actual U.S. dollars and into my bank account. and it worked! (paying off the banner I used at CCI). It wasn't overly complicated, but I'm not confident I could explain it or walk anyone else through it ( of course you are talking to a guy who gets help filling out online credit cards applications). ...I did manage to do it, steem/crypto currency is real.
Also, the tags list on Steemit is generated by code...which puts tags up there based on ONLY popularity of use. You will notice that as of yet #comics does not exist there. So what we have been doing the past week or so is using the hashtag #comics every single time we comment on my posts ( or any other posts if you like). It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense to use it...the code doesn't know the difference!
okay...here's today's comics!
I hope they stick around, not many do and it takes a certain type of person who will keep going.
Your right, it is hard to produce content and keep it up. But let's give them the support and hopefully they can give us content like arseniclullaby.
There you go!
I'm staying. I kinda like this place. Only thing i find weird is that theres no notifications when you get upvotes or comments. I can work with that. #comics
You get get notifications if you use GinaBOT. Search for it, and install it. I couldn't be without it now.
Cool. Thank you
LOL, there's an encouraging way of saying that...and then there's how you said it. I can't help but notice you haven't followed any of them as of yet, y'think maybe that might help? hmmmmmmm? C'mon buddy, get on the trolley, yeah?
Go easy on him. We each choose who we follow, but if you resteem selected posts they may gain some votes. I have to keep my own feed manageable
I DID go easy on him! hahaha!
I think he just took it the wrong way. Words don't always convey the emotions behind them :) I've followed some of your friends. You are building a nice community. A bit of mutual support goes a long way.
...I spend a month of FB telling everyone how encouraging and positive you all are here...and up pops this guy to try to make a liar outta me. smh, there's one in every crowd.
Are you referring to me?
would you be the one who mad a strangely unpragmatic comment and then didn't bother to follow any of the new steemians? lemme check....yep.
Mr Chops is a good guy. He's also doing a lot to support people and he's invested a lot in steem
That may very well be the case, but right now he's just some guy who came on here with a funky attitude, after I spent an entire blog being enthusiastic. If he's having a bad day, he'd be better served having it somewhere else.
You have some weird friends sir.
I like weird people. Welcome all of them. Expect your steemit dreams to be crushed by steem whales, Just like in real life (kidding... Sort of...)
And please, dont stop your cômica... I wish i had more to give you a buffer upvote...
Hey, I'll take the praise and the upvote! and when you have more to give, I'll take that too ;P

Thanks you! That Godzilla one actually made me laugh out loud. #comics
Thanks! Can you believe Mad magazine turned that one down? I think they went with some superman parody I sent instead (shrug) #comics
Thank you for the shoutout! I am looking forward to checking out the other accounts you have mentioned!
my pleasure! #comics
Thanks so much for the plug! This is a stellar platform.
you bet! #comics
...you forgot to use #comics ...ya ingrate! I give and I give and I give...you just take! why am I still friend with you?! ;P
Lol! Amazing work!
I especially love that Godzilla comic! :D
Oh and welcome to steemit, new friends!
Excellent post, @arseniclullaby!
I loved the comics, specially the one with the aliens! So awesome and funny! 😂😂😂
I'm going to check your friends' blogs now...
awesome! Tell them I said hello! #comics
I'll check them out. We need to keep building the community and keep them active. Need to reach the critical mass where there's enough here to make it essential.
well said!
Ahahaha, it would be awesome if aliens come here and try to greet us as doggos. Especially if they look and act as doggos... maybe it'll be better if they're just space doggos.
