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”

Ambush

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!

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 [...]

The First Hit Is Free

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. [...]

Hidden In Plain Sight

Once again the fickle creative fairy struck. I spent more time trying to come up with a name for this strip than the whole idea -> script -> drawing -> mastering process combined. I’m not 100% happy with what I came up with in the end either. Oh well. Onwards to next week! Something interesting [...]

Gah. This one didn’t quite turn out how I liked. Aside from being a day late, I made numerous mistakes, my PC was acting up and hanging instead of rendering the final file… argh… Oh well this strip is finally complete. On to next week…

Foxy Boxing

I’m not 100% happy with how this one turned out, I think I could have written it better, but sometimes you have bad days. Incidentally, if you do some quick googling for “Foxy Boxing”, you’ll find that such a concept does actually exist. I remember there being a computer game of it many many years [...]

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 [...]
