I've probably read the novel at least 50 times over since I bought it last September, but now it has fallen apart. Believe me, I know about text books. But I think it is nice to learn what other people think instead of just relying on my own thoughts and ideas because I realize that I don't know everything and that other people have differen perspectives than I do.

I think you should put it in for the anime show contest

on Cartoon Network.  That's how South Park got it's start.

After seeing some of the prospects I'd say you have a good

shot at being the new series.  It may not be the Sci-fi Channel

but it's a start.  Now South Park is up a broadcast network.

Sure it's Paramount -- a step down from Fox or Columbia,

But Sony's branching out.  Who knows who might option it?

There was a really good episode of House tonight.

House (Hugh Laurie) had sent someone else on

a patient who demanded an apology.  House told

a colleague, that people see what they want to see.

People who knew him, new him to be an ass.  But

people who don't, see him as a cripple.  I guess

without knowing, we can read anything into who

we see or what we read.  Perhaps rants and screeds

we know it's for comic effect.  That way no one will

get too offended, since it's not always obvious.

Just to chip in here I think that Greg's hit the nail on the
head.I 've been quite reluctant, coming in quite late,to give away
plot,hence quite vague comments. Also I've not been able to open up
the pdf files on the other site so have missed most of the early part
of the story so again this makes it quite difficult to discuss. ( no
ones fault)So it's been quite general impressions,like how the style
of the strip reminds me of Look-In (uk comic/magazine)things like
that.I sure most people appreciate the strip and all the work that
goes in to it but again it's serial nature probably works against
poeple talking about the plot because you don't get a lot of it,I know
I'm planning on reading a batch in one sitting just to build up
some "critical mass"
As always best Graham.

Ok, this might be a completely off the wall idea, but you could... make a web page and post the comic there every week and then have a guestbook and have people comment, but given the fact that the comic is mainly for PotADG-ers that is not the best idea.
Right now, as far as I can see, there isn't a whole lot going on in the story that I can comment about and sometimes (being one of the only females on here besides Elaine) I am intimidated by all the comments that the guys write given the fact that I have been "shot down" a few times in the posts that I have posted.
As a writer I know the frustration you are going through trying to get feedback on your comic. In the world of PotA inside and outside of Yahoo Groups reviews are far and few between for artists and writers. I know that I used to scorn comics, but now after reading the strips from Michael and Neil I have come to appreciate them as works of art and not just something that kids read.
So whether you know it or not your work is probably affecting someones life, but they might just be too shy to speak up about it. I'll try to comment more about the comics, but as it was mentioned before it is hard not to give anything away because not everyone sees the comics at the same time. Spoilers tend to ruin the story. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of "Going Home".
The story lines and artwork in these comics is beyond compare. So keep up the good work and try not to get too discouraged due to lack of participation. :)

Kasey/Undomiel

 

  Good post, Kasey. Those of us who do receive the comic enjoy it. Again, my feedback is minimal because I have a tendency to see these comics more as art and the story comes

second. The web page is a good idea but the word would have to be spread around that it existed so people would go to it. It's true what you have stated about writing(fanfic in particular) reviews are rare but we continue to write because we enjoy doing it. And as a female here, I too sometimes do not post due to the male majority. But that maybe the nature of the jungle. Elaine

Hi. I'm writing to see if anyone here may know about a fan produced
comic that I saw on the Planet of the Apes television series website
called Return To Yesterday? I would desperately like to purchase one if
anyone can give me any information about it. I know it was written and
drawn by Mike McColm from Scotland. I appreciate any help you can offer
in helping me to locate a copy of this comic. Thanks fellow Apes fans.

Ah, the two storylines start to merge. While I knew the dig site was fairly close to the museum/bunker, I had no idea it was that close.

Why is it that everyone seems to have to make everything so damn close to everything else on the Planet of the Apes?  It makes no sense.  Two thousand years are supposed to pass and none of this stuff gets uncovered or discovered.  I prefer some distance.

Once again I am very jealous about the fact that people can actually
draw characters other than stick figures. This panel certainly makes
me wonder what is going to happen in the up and coming chapters. So,
Zaius blew it up or the Mutants blew it up? I'm not clear on that
just yet.
But it obviously takes quite a bit of time to do this and I
appreciate the fact that Neil and Michael contribute this comic to

I do think the Novel read and comment thing fell apart because the
novel is so different from the world that was created for the films,
and I for one am a much bigger fan of the film world than that French
monstrosity. I've read it a couple of times and still can't say I
really like it. Okay Rory, let me have it for talking smack about
where the ORIGINAL idea came from. I continue to comment on the
comics because I truly enjoy them and can get excited about them. I
do think the "tag your it" way of sending them out limits how much we
can openly discuss the story, though.

I do think the Novel read and comment thing fell apart because the
novel is so different from the world that was created for the films,
and I for one am a much bigger fan of the film world than that French
monstrosity. I've read it a couple of times and still can't say I
really like it. Okay Rory, let me have it for talking smack about
where the ORIGINAL idea came from. I continue to comment on the
comics because I truly enjoy them and can get excited about them. I
do think the "tag your it" way of sending them out limits how much we
can openly discuss the story, though.

BADOOM!!! Neil, you are the master. Is that a bloody railroad spike
that gorilla is fighting with? I do believe Greg covered my
speculations on the story beautifuly. See, somebody has been paying
attention to your story Michael. Its not always "wow, look at the
pretty pictures." hehehe

-- Hi Marc, as far as I know there is no printed version of Mike's
comic only the online version on Kassidy Rae's TV site. I do know that
he has done at least one other Apes comic, one about Milo finding the
spaceship. I don't know if that one is online but it was printed in a
recent copy of Simian Scrolls.

I think James may have booted me out of the POTA group for my "ever
make fun of someone so much you feel you should thank them for all the

over there and it appears that I am no longer a member of the group.

  Animation has improved over the years so I believe an animated version could be good.

 So I am guessing you feel pota should be left alone and no more remakes etc. If I had a choice, I would rather have fan written novels instead. Elaine
