Chris is a little busy right now, I’ll leave it to him to explain why on his return. Here’s the next edition of my ongoing series “Asleep at the $blah”

Those you paying attention may have noticed that the teaser panel I put up last night as the second panel is actually the full strip’s first panel. This is a good example of the last minute rewrites I sometimes do. I decided that the first panel was really just a waste of space, I present [...]

Sometimes I don’t quite foresee the effects of taking a story in a particular direction. For example, the original ending of strip #57 where Simon is talking to himself in the mirror was supposed to be that he is talking to someone for a bit, and then it is revealed that the other person was [...]

This End Up

Woohooo! I managed to get this strip done without having to resort to doing a teaser strip to cover my slackness. I actually intended for there to be an additional subtext within this strip, but towards the end I decided to cut it due to time constraints, plus it would been pretty crowded in the [...]

While fire is a fun story element to use, it’s a bitch to draw and do lighting effects for. Especially on weeks where you have no inspiration whatsoever.

Not feeling that great at the moment (damn you cold/flu!), but struggled on, and finished the comic. Hurrah!

People have been bugging me for months to get Biff out of his towel and into some normal clothing. I never really planned for him to be wearing his towel for so long, I just never got around to changing it. I’m quite happy with how the gorilla suit turned out. Oh, and if you’re [...]

One of the things that’s always bugged me about television shows where the plot doesn’t advance from week to week, is how after every episode the slate is wiped clean and they start again. There are advantages to this approach, ie easier to throw random ideas together that don’t follow a specific story arc to [...]

As is often the case with artistic endeavours, collaboration is the key to success. Today’s strip features the most collaboration with Trent on a single strip to date. “Many hands make light work” as they say, and hopefully this will enable me to get over the occasional bout of writers block or work or other [...]

My favourite thing about WordPress and the ComicPress plugin we use is that the comic is configured as a blog with images as the main content. Spam bots can’t seem to tell that this is the case, and I end up with random comments like: “Hi, good post. I have been wondering about this issue,so [...]
