Idle, ME Fan Art
These are unsolicited bits of Life of Convenience inspired art that people have sent to me. If you've got something you'd like to send me, please do! Just send it along with an e-mail (to jclark AT idle-me DOT com) as an attachment, and be sure to identify exactly what the attachment is or I won't open it.
Letters
Unsolicited e-mails people have sent us to show support, encouragement, well-wishing, or just to let us know they enjoy the comic.
Note: May be edited for content, and I will not include the sender's e-mail addresses or real names, in the interest of privacy (though I figure first names and/or aliases used within the message are safe enough).
My first piece of fan mail ever! Nifty!

You rock my world, baby, and so does your comic.
Love,

Hi there,
Well, you asked nicely, so thought I'd drop you a quick note, and say that I'm really enjoying your strip - especially the artwork, it's VERY funky! Also loved the martial arts strip, made me laugh lots. =) Consider yerself bookmarked!
Hmmmm, by "anyone I don't already know", does that include OMGs people? If so, then I guess I don't count either... Ah well, sorry. =] Still, at least you can say you've got an international fan base! =p
Cheers for the laughs and stunning visuals anyway mate,
Rich.
I have, like, half a dozen e-mails that should go right here, but since my laptop was stolen, and I can't afford another Mac just yet, all of the e-mails that are on my backup discs aren't accessible to me. Once they are, I'll post them here.

Hey,
Nice comic, and nice site It's one of the few webcomic sites that's actually XHTML etc. compliant. Just a little suggestion I had; why not put <link rel="prev"> tags etc. on each page, for navigation?
Subject: Form mail (e-mails from the Contact page always have this subject -JC)

No idea if you'll remember me, no worries if not - I wrote you a couple times some months back, just saying how I like reading your comic, etc etc. Not important stuff... but I just wanted to stick my head in and yell out a big congratulations on your engagement! Great pics and story; she looks happy, you look happy - you're as fine a couple as there ever was, and no mistake.
I just got engaged last September, the nervousness and excitement and all that are still fresh in my mind. And it's all worked out really well, so look - stay happy even when wedding planning starts to stress you out.
Wicked happy for you,
Elijah

My very first piece of fan art! Well, sort of... ok, not really. Matt's a friend, and he did this a while ago and just e-mailed me a copy because of my Resident Evil reference the other day (12/30/02). But still, it's pretty cool, so check it out.
