Default Doodling!

Do you guys like to doodle? Do you not like to doodle? Share your thoughts about doodling here! I myself LOVE to doodle. In fact, I made my own webcomic called stupid. Here's the link:

http://stupidcomics.wetpaint.com/page/Home

Just remember to print them first, or you wont be able to read them. So, getting back on track, what do you guys think of doodling?

First thought: waste of paper.

If you want people to actually read what you're producing, you might try not making us lazy asses have to work to actually read it.

I love to doodle, I doodle all the time. It's never any good so you'll never get to see it. It's also quite abstract and incomprehensible to everyone but me...

I doodle so much, I'm really really good at doodling, but I suck at art, but anyway, I'm so good at doodling, I declare myself King of Doodling.

When I'm in a meeting (often), and it's boring (sadly, also often), doodling is a great way to pass the time, and look like you care enough to take notes.

I usually take notes heavily the first few minutes, so I have a page on top to flip over and cover all the doodling, in case anyone looks.

;)

Alas, doodling is a dying art in this big business world, economic and political strife, doodling is akin to tissue paper in a hurricane. but it can also be a handy tool! (truman made the first doodle of a nuke exploding)

If you don't want to print it you could save it, go to a program to edit it, then just rotate it as you need to read it.

And then on the real subject, I like to doodle during study hall when I have all my homework done, or when I'm on long car rides. I sometimes doodle in class but thats mostly when Joe does his guest comics.

Okay, if you're the King of Doodling, Mr. Xerillum, I am the Jester of Doodling. My doodling mediums trancend mere paper and pencil, and extend into the jesterly realms of origami and cello! My doodles make tiny children (other than me) cry. My doodles consist of chickens suspended from balloons, waging war on flying jars of pickled sea otter eyeballs, and other such strange and unoriginal things. I once managed to make a triple-headed evil penguin out of folded paper!

... Enough bragging.

I agree. Too much work just to view a webcomic. If you want to increase the amount of people who read, allow them to read it easily.

I love doodling, i would doodle all day if i didn't have more important and sometimes more exciting things to do, like sleeping. I did some doodles on my dad's tablet computer, which sadly he no longer has, which looked pretty good (well, to me anyway).

I am an avid doodler, and my suffering grades can show it. I consider my doodles pretty complex for doodles,that is, my bipedal doodles usually have the correct number of limbs.

I doodle...usually cool ideas for what weapons look like in games I am running/want to run. My notebooks from college are filled with good and bad ideas.

I used to doodle a lot.
Either little stick figures or in a more OOTS style.
Some of my better ones,
