		<title>100 ideas, final thoughts: I did it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, last night I submitted the 100th and final idea of the &#8220;100 ideas in 100 days&#8221;. Today is Day 100, which means that I&#8217;ve completed the project successfully. Obviously, not all of the ideas are very good. I knew that would be the case when I started this. Still, I think this qualifies as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #100: Death/birth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are probably tons of stories about the afterlife. But I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve seen this exact description of the afterlife before, so I&#8217;m posting it here as an idea for you to take if you want it. The story starts in a different dimension than ours. Or perhaps it&#8217;s in our dimension, but it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #99: Cigarette superhero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One good starting point for coming up with new comic ideas is telling yourself &#8220;Okay, if I take the society we live in and change one thing about it to the polar opposite, what will happen?&#8221; Of course, what you change is up to you &#8211; it can be a moral guideline, it can be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #98: Playing on the downsides</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many things you can do in comics that you can&#8217;t really do in other media. But there are also many things you can do in other media that don&#8217;t really work in comics. Which is why it would be pretty interesting to create a comic where the plot really plays on these things. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #97: Adapting by omitting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bet that every adaptation in the world has angry fanboys whining that the adaptation sucks. I remember seeing the first Harry Potter movie, thinking &#8220;Wow, they really managed to cram most of the book into this movie&#8221;. Then I talked to a big Harry Potter fan who was really upset with the things they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #96: Character collab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a fun idea to create new characters. I would suggest that you need three people to do this, but I guess you could also do it with four to six people. First, each of you draw a rough sketch of a new character. The sketch should be a visual representation of the character. No [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #95: One frame per T-shirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t want to go into the discussion on whether or not it&#8217;s a good thing that some webcomics tend to be seen as merely T-shirt factories. But I think that the ability to make merchandise is a good thing. I&#8217;ve earlier commented on a possible way to create calendars1, and it&#8217;s probably appropriate to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #94: Wikipedia surfing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pick a topic. Any topic, really, as long there exists a Wikipedia page about it. Draw a cartoon or a comic strip about that topic. How exactly you choose to do this is up to you, but the strip must have something to do with the topic. Now, go to the Wikipedia article, and click [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #93: National bankruptcy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes a country get lots and lots of debt. It could be because they need weapons to fight wars, it could be because their treasurer is a compulsive gambler. But sometimes a country needs more money than they have for some reason. And that&#8217;s okay. Everybody has student loans or mortgages nowadays, there&#8217;s nothing wrong [...]]]></description>

		<title>Idea #92: Bedtime story with two narrators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Note: I&#8217;ve never seen the movie &#8220;The Princess Bride&#8221; or read the book it&#8217;s based on, so if what I&#8217;m describing here sounds a lot like what happens in that movie&#8230; Sorry, I haven&#8217;t seen it, so there&#8217;s no way I can know. I *think* that movie involves a bedtime story, but I don&#8217;t think [...]]]></description>
