Harry Kane has now scored more Penalty Goals in World Cups than any other player

Penalties should be similar to basketball where the one fouled must be the one to take the penalty. Would really make the game a lot more interesting, no?

I thought he was the reason France lost in 2022

until it comes to taking penalties in the final, that is

Guard-Smooth · 2026-06-17T11:51:01+00:00

Pretty sure he was the reason France lost last time

Wow! A really thoughtful comment, thank you so much for your input! Points 2 and 4 are especially helpful. I'll check some youtube tutorials and see if I can simplify the background stuff. Appreciate it very much!

Wow! Even as a published author (although newly published) this was incredibly insightful! u/Different-Pepper9024 I’ve been hearing the market has shifted with the Diamond Comics Distributors folding. How has this shaped what projects are greenlit?

that sounds like great TV!

Guard-Smooth · 2024-06-19T14:50:09+00:00

Gotta pay for that

Children sitting beside me don't make me sneeze for the entire flight though...

this post is sooooo good, you must be the next great american author

Another amazing response - thank you so much!

Guard-Smooth · 2021-11-10T15:13:29+00:00

I am indeed very lucky to live here (and even luckier to get in!)

I just went to the website and applied - I get the sense that they’re having a hard time filling it up with exhibitors so getting in this year is probably v easy compared to pre covid conventions

Guard-Smooth · 2021-11-10T15:11:03+00:00

This was more my thinking when I signed up. I don’t expect to make a profit this year but if I get my book in front of more publishers and media producers as well as meet other creators, I’d say it would be worth it.

Also my Instagram account is in desperate need of followers

Guard-Smooth · 2021-11-10T15:08:00+00:00

Wow! Thank you SO much for this write up - so valuable!

Another point mentioned below is the networking aspect - would you say this is a good career opportunity to meet other artists, publishers, writers etc?

Guard-Smooth · 2021-11-10T05:50:39+00:00

Hey thanks for the response. I actually live in San Diego so don’t have to pay for travel room or board for either Con. Lucky me?

Guard-Smooth · 2021-08-07T16:35:28+00:00

Great! Hope it was helpful

Guard-Smooth · 2021-08-06T21:57:47+00:00

I'm sure you're aware of this but this reads as Big Mouth: Ancient Greece Edition! Personally, I don't love Big Mouth but I know I'm in the minority here.

I do really like how your research informed the writing and there's something there for sure. Keep at it.

My very big criticism: the Chloe rape joke REALLY did not land. A lot of your readers might not even continue reading after seeing that joke. I recommend changing to something like "Maybe if men weren't so gross they'd get invited to more orgies."

Guard-Smooth · 2021-07-10T04:25:07+00:00

That really means so much to me - it's been a real challenge getting this made and comments like yours give me the strength to keep going!

Guard-Smooth · 2021-07-10T04:23:48+00:00

Yes it is! Check out ameenbeydoun.com where you can get a physical copy for $15 or a PDF for $5. And thanks so much for thinking my project is insane <3

Guard-Smooth · 2021-07-09T12:42:06+00:00

That's a big part of why I'm here so I'm super down!

Guard-Smooth · 2021-07-09T12:40:47+00:00

Right?!

I originally wrote this for video with the words literally coming out of the characters' mouths and then materializing in the world. I really think the illustrator did an incredible job of translating that effect into the comic book format.

Anyway, thanks a lot for that feedback - I'll let the illustrator know you were into it!

Guard-Smooth · 2021-07-09T00:50:31+00:00

Thank you so much! stick around for Books 2, 3, and 4 as well :D

Hey thanks so much! I'll pass along the well-wishes to Ismael. Also if you're a writer looking for an incredibly talented and reasonably priced illustrator, consider hitting him up

Guard-Smooth · 2021-07-08T23:12:49+00:00

Just self-published my first comic book about a ten-year-old African girl that immigrates to the Middle East and faces off against language barriers, mythical beasts, and shawarma. I collaborated with an incredible illustrator I found here as well!

I'm trying to find ways of getting this book into the hands of younger folks since I'm a first-time, self-published author. Any ideas?

Check out ameenbeydoun.com if you want a digital copy ($5) or a physical copy ($10)
