Comic Fury Webcomic Hosting - How do you come up with your webcomic's title?

When I was brainstorming the concept of the comic, it focused fairly heavily on the idea that this Brain Substitute was what allowed the society to work, so I started looking at ways that gave that idea from the title.

It's a reference to "The Other White Meat", which is a common enough phrase, and when I did a google search for it, two different people had used the phrase for shirts, so I knew that if someone came after me with lawyers, I'd have a leg to stand on ;)

I referenced another, rejected title in a comic, as "I can't believe it's not brains". ICBINB didn't look like a particularly good acronym though.

Being a bad writer and all, the making of Highly Experimental has been highly experimental in itself.

But not also is it fitting for a story about a main character being an experiment, but mental puns in there, too, as I plan to add psychological stuff in ther as well.

This.

My comic is a B-movie so I imagined a B-movie coming attraction. It had to grab the audience and sound good coming from an announcer's voice even though as a comic there is no announcer. I knew it would start with "Attack of _____". It's about women turned into automatons with lasers attacking. But I needed a unique name for them.

Lots of brainstorming later with all variants of robot, femaleand android I got the unique word "robofemoid" (Google it, it's all mine)

So Attack of the Robofemoids it was. Then comes the sequel. Well it'll have two groups fighting. Fighting in space. So Robofemoids in Space? No implied action. It just lays there So it became "Battle of the Robofemoids" to give action and movement that'll grab the audience.

Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan is about a gang of rogues in a kingdom called Clwyd-Rhan, so that one was pretty straightforward.

Spun Off is a spin-off of Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan though it also has a meaning inside the story itself. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out once there's some more pages visible.

Well, my upcoming webcomic, Odessian Chronicles takes place in a world called Oddessia, and i like the sound of the word chronicles. Also, having a comic named after the setting rather than a character means that I can introduce a new hero down the line once the starting hero retires. The name Oddessia itself, came from the word odyssey, since it's an adventure story and the suffix 'ia which I like a lot.

Just for the heck of it, have a character not named Odysseus, but Jernarius! :D

(As in journey)

Perhaps in my planned but probably not going to happen "next generation" story

ParaFrenic comes from his personality, but not in a clinical sense. He has a schizophrenic attitude of putting himself in a situation and then realizing that's he's in over his head. It's a lot more light hearted than the names implies. But how those thoughts came into play, I can't quite remember why...

Originally Level 30 Psychiatry was called "Gardevoir: Psychiatrist to the video game stars". I don't need to tell you that would've been a mouthful. In fact it was my artist, GigaNerd17 who thought of the title as Gardevoir evolves from it's previous stage at level 30.

Tempus = Latin for 'Time', which is basically what the whole story is about. I got it from the saying "Tempus Fugit" meaning, 'Time flees' or, more commonly, 'Time flies'.

But time doesn't Fly. He walks. He dislikes flying.

Gods Almighty = A play on the "God Almighty" stuff that my old evangelical school spouted when I was first in highschool. It was just a joke on the matter, since, well, my comic is about Gods, so I just put it together. :L

Well, the cure is everything in the story. I had the story first (I hate coming up with names). It starts with a guy suffering from an incurable disease somehow getting cured. That set the whole tone for the story, him searching for the person who has the cure, everyone wanting the cure, and some people wanting to ensure that a cure never sees the light of day. So yeah, "cure" was a pretty obvious choice, I think :p

It's just a codename.

My comic is a sort of side-story world-building thing for the game I'm working on, Project Horizon.

With games, things can change significantly from when you first start, to when it's released. It's common practice, except in the case of sequels, to work under a codename or working title simply because any name you pick on Day 1 will probably be wrong by Day 1460.

To help "remind" people that it's very much a work-in-progress, I always use random words for the working title. Literally. The day I start serious work on it, I go to Wikipedia, pull up the Article of the Day, and pick a cool-sounding word from it.

I don't recall exactly what the article was for Project Horizon, but I do remember some of the others. Project Overture was from Tchaikovsky's article (1812 Overture was mentioned as his most famous work). Project Hammerbeam was from some gothic English church, which had hammerbeam roofs. Both of those projects, by the way, are currently "canceled, but I'd like to restart work if I ever have enough manpower helping me".

Variabilis: it's just a comic dump, and thus receives any genre and theme as I fancy. Whether I'll update it again in the next year is also subject to chance. So it has a name that means random.

Fairy Dust: Obviously, it's translated from the French original. Ok the French name had to be picked as well :P. Well fairy dust is important in the story, and since it made an ok title, why look further? Titles that come spontaneously are usually the best.

My Immortal Fool was originally a 2004 superstar saga fanfic called My Immortal. When I announced its reboot as a webcomic, it was often mistaken for the harry potter badfic. After enough potter gags, I altered the name. Fool because the main characters are all idiots.

Then there is my unreleased webcomic called EvoRelution. Its basically a play on "a revolution of evolution" as it is a fantasy adventure where civilizations have evolved through different types of sorcery.

That's kind of a hard question for me to answer, but I'll give it a shot...

Lost Legends of Whoelterran is kind of the background history of a role playing game I made with my sons. Hence, it is about the key events that were lost to time that made the present setting to the game. The lost legends of that world.

When Foxes Fly is a play on words about the main character of the comic. He's a 'flying fox' which is nowhere near an actual fox. (Flying foxes are actually a type of bat... actually).

Just Scribbling is a collection of fast drawings I do in ten minutes or less. Hence, I'm just scribbling.

For me the title and story kind of came about organically. I had been knocking around a plethora of ideas and sketches and here I had this cartoony vampire aka nosferatu standing by this little goth girl. The name of Lucy came about almost instantly as that was the name of one of the characters from the original Bram Stoker novel. I like alteration so I was trying to come up with a name for the vampire that started with an N. Nigel stuck and hence the comic is Nigel the Nosferatu.

For the other comic ideas I am currently working on I have names of characters but the titles are still waiting to be born. I think that the fact I do not have titles for these other ideas means they are not ready yet.

Put random words before 'Story.'

My next comic isn't going to do that, though.

I had to write 40+ chapters before coming up with the title Remnants. But I think it fits the theme of the story well. The whole story revolves around remnants of past, memory, people, and places.
Any more would be spoiler.

Only thing I don't like about it is that there's apparently another comic out there titled this (being a single word title it's common) and it might get confusing.

First, I visit Wikipedia. Then I click on random article link. Then I pick a first word from the article title. Then I realize Nord Feces (My friend actually got this during college assignment with same instructions. He still had to go with it.) is pretty unattractive title, and ditch the whole idea.

I usually title my words to represent on the comic's keywords and ideas. When I used to dabble in sprite comics back in 2008-2010, I named one of them First Fantasy, due to numerous video-game references and my first inquiry into a full-fledged sprite comic strips. Needless to say, there was a lot of references to Square-Enix titles over others.

Metempsychosis was another sprite comic I attempted, going for more moody atmosphere and a straight plot compared to First Fantasy's semi-random humor adventures. The title essentially refers to reincarnation after death, with belief that the human soul will remain imprisoned in endless cycle until they reach purity and free themselves. The story dealt with two types of reincarnations- one dealing with the civilization prospering after a cataclysmic war, but about to fall into another, and the characters who try to piece themselves together after being affected by the war.

Both of the series were abandoned after coming across some serious sprite shortfalls a lot sooner than expected, plus my eventual loss of interest in spriting. They're still up in Drunkduck, First Fantasy and Metempsychosis. Please don't mind my poor font choice.

My upcoming drawn short comic Saber Dust is titled after the main airship the characters reside and travel in. That's pretty much it.

Thornsaddle is basically the American version of Hogwarts. I took the name "Hogwarts," which when you think about it is a terrible name for a school. But after a while you stop hearing the weirdness. Like a "Krusty Burger." A thornsaddle is a weird object to imagine for no discernible purpose, except maybe for torture. But when you see it enough you stop hearing the weirdness. Also, the school is in Texas and "thornsaddle" just sound western to me.
