Detector

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

Postie — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:00:00 +0000

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 [...]

Wench

Well, not only is this strip not a few days late, it’s early! Holy crap! Well, it helps alot when I’ve got a really well defined idea worked out for a strip. If you recall, I mentioned this little plot arc involving beer in the comments for Strip #28, which was November last year. At [...]

Beer

Wow. What a sucky week. I must apologise for the lateness of the comic. My brain hasn’t been working at all the past few days. I sat there staring at the unfinished strip for what seemed like hours and never seemed to be getting anywhere. What’s worse is that the strip wasn’t even technically challenging [...]

Pregnant Pause

This event didn’t quite happen like this… I said something waaay more misogynistic than that. Nah just kidding. I said something boring like, “Really?”. I’ve been really busy lately (spent the easter long weekend in Victoria attending a wedding), so haven’t been able to spend as much time as I wanted on the comic. That meant [...]

Punishment

Postie — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:00:00 +0000

So finally, Postie has returned to the Ghetto. I had intended for him to return from his stay in hospital after only 5-10 strips, but he ended up being in there for 25! A good portion of that had to do with new story ideas that we added at short notice, and Trent and I [...]

DVI Out

This scene as originally written featured more dialog between Gemma and Postie regarding what’s been going on in the house over the past weeks. I was describing the scene to Trent while finalising the dialog in preparation for drawing, and he suddenly came up with the idea of the hardware disconnection notification message. I loved it immediately, [...]

Guest Strip:Under The Thumb

Mountaineer — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:00:00 +0000

So, after a mere 7 months, my mediocre talents are brought forth once more. Chris asked that I explain why he was unable to have this weeks strip up in time; there you have it folks. Until next time. -Mountaineer

Mistress Of Puppets

Postie — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 14:00:00 +0000

Today while creating a new top for Gemma, I realised with some amusement, that the previous colour of Gemma’s top was actually called “Dial-a-ride Purple”. I am here to set the record straight. Gemma has *never* been involved in such activities, and she assures me that even if she was, you wouldn’t have to ring [...]

No Means No

Much like Gemma, I don’t appreciate carols much. There’s something unnatural about how cheery they are. Sure their purpose is to lift everyone’s spirits during the holiday season, but why do people think they should be good to each other only once a year? What about the rest of the time? Christmas has become too much [...]
