Negotiations

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 [...]

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.

Bad Credit

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

Lesser Of Two Evils

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 still [...]

Intervention

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 form [...]

Humors

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 thanks [...]

Cutesy Bunny

Holy crap! A comic! My sister once told me a joke (I think she may have originally heard it from Adam Hills): There once was an inflatable boy. He went to an inflatable school where all the students were inflatable, all the teachers were inflatable, and all the buildings were inflatable. One day he brings a pin [...]

Guest Strip 4:Asleep At The Wheel

Work work work, it effects us all, but it’s really hurting the progress of the comic right now. The good news is we have the next few strips all plotted out, the bad news is there simply hasn’t been time for Chris to sit down in illustrator to create the new artwork and pose the characters. Here’s [...]

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 [...]
