Negotiations

Postie — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:00:00 +0000

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 [...]

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 [...]

Lesser Of Two Evils

Postie — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:00:00 +0000

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

Postie — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:00:00 +0000

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

Postie — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:00:00 +0000

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

Postie — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:00:00 +0000

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 3:Asleep at the Guitar

This weeks comic has been madly delayed, after we did so well last week too! Here’s something to keep you interested until plot resumes.

The First Hit Is Free

Postie — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:00:00 +0000

Ahh… simpler times. When men were men, Biff was wearing a shirt, and Postie played Wow. I’m somewhat proud of the fact that I actually had to spend some time researching the reputation grinding stuff in WoW in order to actually write that last joke. I’ve completely lost touch with the intracacies of the game. [...]

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 [...]

Trash. Ah-aaah

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

Not that it would be apparent from the actual comic, but the way I had originally intended to go with this arc is actually changing fundamentally at the moment. Alot can happen week to week, and a new idea occasionally comes along that fits better with how the story is progressing than the original idea [...]
