Talk:Least I Could Do
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Webcomics, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to webcomics on Wikipedia. Please participate by editing the article Least I Could Do, or visit the project page for more details on the projects. |
| Start | This article has been rated as Start-Class on the assessment scale. |
The following is a list of items that need added to the LICD page. Feel free to work on any of them:
- Information about Rayne must be updated to reflect recent changes in the comic. Specifically, the latest skydiving story arc must be readdressed.
- Forums, some information on the forums would be great. It's a good community and should be noted. Whoever adds the forum should also add a direct link to it under External Links.
- Quotes, A few good, memorable quotes would be a nice section ... maybe a top ten. If not, maybe someone could create a secition for it in WikiQuotes.
- Cast, Should add some pictures of the cast members ... just small avatars.
- With the departure of Chad, I think we should add in a section for the artists of LICD. Talk a bit about Trevor, Chad, and Lar. I can write up some things on Chad and Lar, but don't have much on Trevor. Could someone start this up with Trevor talk, and then we'll add Chad and Lar?

[edit] Blind Ferret Entertainment
Now that BFE handles stuff for more than one webcomic (also does the CAD-Premium animations, etc), do you think we should break it out into its own page? Discuss. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:66.32.118.156 (talk • contribs) 15:23, 2005 July.
I actually came to this page to see if there was a discussion on it, Since Blind Ferret Entertainment now handles Ctrl Alt Del, Player Verses Player and Least I Could Do and after bagging PVP will probably expand to include some more of the top webcomics they should have their own article even if for now it is just a brief description and a list of the properties they handle. --Seth Turner 12:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Porter's name
If Chad's middle initials are WM, is there a reason not to write it as "W.M."? JamesMLane 06:13, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
I guess it could be done like that, but Chad himself has always printed his name as WM., not W.M. ... to be honest I don't know if it's 2 middle names or if he uses both letters for the initials of one middle name, though I have always presumed that the former was the case. For now I will change it on the site to Chad WM. Porter.

[edit] LFG Comic
I can't find my WikiLogin details, call me lazy.
Surely the LFG Comic should be linked at the bottom of the article, along with the other links?

Bodhisattvaspath 05:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC): Looking For Group is not a spin-off from Least I Could Do. It is a separate project created by Sohmer and deSouza. There is some erroneous information in the sub-article as well, such as the reference to Cale'Anon being a "Blood Elf". That is not referenced anywhere in Looking For Group, nor do I recall either Sohmer or deSouza mentioning it on their forum.
[edit] bra man
why does Bra Man redirect here? --Eahiv 02:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Read the article (or the strip) and you just might find out! AMK1211 04:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Run on sentences
Hey guys, the period is your friend. In normal writing there's usually no need for more than four or five commas in a single sentence. Poor writing cheapens the quality of the article, and I'm sure we all want the LICD article to appear to non-strip-readers in the best possible light. Osurak 23:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Storylines
In the character section, I don't think it is necessary to get into each and every recent storyline since the skydiving arc. IMO this should be removed or placed into a separate section. Thoughts? Osurak 23:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Specifically I'm talking about the Rayne entry, which is about five times longer than any of the others. Osurak 23:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
This is very true. I've started cleaning up the entries, starting with the supporting cast. I'll be significantly shortening the entries over the new few weeks. Let leave this wiki page as an information page, not a novel version of the comic, ok people? Arcidius 06:01, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

- Trevor had to unexpectedly leave town tonight, and was unable to complete Saturday's strip. In which case, no new strip today. Trev will be back on Sunday, so we won't miss more than one.
- Monday 21 July 2003
- It appears that this weekend is the time for news.
- Due to personal issues and family obligations, Trevor will no longer draw for Least I Could Do. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
- What does this mean for us?
- Well, it means that I'm now on the hunt for a new artist to replace Trevor, and there will be no updates for a couple of days while I search.
- Tuesday 22 July 2003
- We get by... with a little help from our friends.
- If all of you could find a friend & partner such as Lar, you'd be the better off for it. Believe you me.
- Rather than leaves you folks without any LICD goodness for a few days, Lar has pitched in and drew a couple of the scripts I planned on putting out this week.

- 3 years ago, I started a strip called Least I Could Do with a guy around my age, named Markus. Markus and I put about 4 strips together before realizing it just wasn’t going to work. The source material was shite, and what I had in mind wasn’t meshing with his style.
- The project was shelved for a few months while I worked on scripts, and generally getting my ass together. I decided I would hire an artist this time, and I was lucky enough to find Trevor Adams. Trevor and I brought LICD to the web for 8 months, and it was a wonderful learning experience for the both of us.
- Eventually though, real world called Trevor, and he was forced to leave the strip in favor of one of those fancy 9-5 jobs. I was disappointed, because I felt we were just on the cusp of things, but the circumstances dictated his actions, and I can’t fault him for that.
- Once Trevor left, I offered the strip to my collaborator and best friend Lar deSouza, who was forced to pass it up due to similar issues as Trevor. Always being ‘the man’, Lar used his contacts and introduced me to one Chad WM. Porter.
- For the past 2 years, I have had the pleasure and the honor to work with Chad to create around 630 strips. We have put together a strip, and a community to go with it, that I never thought possible. With Chad’s style mixed with my warped sense of humor, I really felt as if we created something unique on the internet.
- ...
- For the last 6 months, Chad has been struggling with his duties here with LICD. Aside to the strip, Chad works 10 hours a day during the week. Adding about 4 hours a day to do the strip, does not leave room for much else.
- ...
- He’s not only my partner in crime here, but he’s one of my closest friends’ on the planet.
- ...
- With our artist leaving, I had 2 choices in front of me. The first, was to quit LICD and move to another project. But, as I’ve said earlier, the only time I will ever stop writing this strip is when they nail my coffin shut, so my only real option was to find another artist.
- My first choice, always my first choice in everything, was to approach Lar. While he did shoot my ass down a few years ago, I was ecstatic when he accepted the position and agreed to become my partner.
- ...
- Thus begins LICD v3.0. Big things are coming.
- Stick around.

I thought the above might be an interesting historical reference. I'll dump it here, it may contain useful information for the article. Shinobu 06:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
