(no subject)
I need to work on finishing things until I don't suck at finishing things. I'm pretty sure I haven't posted any of these before, though I still may have. Generally I operate under the notion that I will finish comics and so don't post the sketch versions.
01. He fought for 7 days when the doc gave him 7 hours
I've actually had a bit of an obsession with Houdini since I was young. Not the magic part, but the figure he cut - he was a man of steel. Anyway, the text is barely legible, if at all, but I will be making a finished version of it. Part of the joke is that Catalyna's originally Swedish and has a very barebones knowledge of english - she's learning, but appendix is a syllable or two longer than she's used to dealing with.
02. Robot Servants for Every Child in Every Home
There was a lot of love and life shit building up and I was doing what I could to not break under most of the stress of having no idea what to do about any of it. I also wanna finish this one.
03. Scottie Doesn't Know
Everything in here is based on something I know to be true of someone real or have heard about someone real. Done in response to the standard gamer comic formula, which is usually wildly exaggerated and fabricated, making Penny Arcade, a comic that is supposedly made entirely in jest, often far more accurate to the creators' real lives than these supposed comics that spawned from it. And thanks to spellchecking, I've just found out that I've been spelling "exaggerate" wrong for the past 15 years. huh.
04. Crimson and Clover
in most cases when I meet a new female, no matter whether they're lesbian or just a bit bi-curious, they want to do a yuri comic with me. In the case of Crimson and Clover, Nishi does most of the idea hatching. This particular case is based on what I kept doing the other night - I was very bored and there are not many places to sit in a grocery store. Also, I've never been a cashier before, so the whole process seems a bit mystical to me.
05. Distance makes...
What I did to take my mind off of my raging sadness and loneliness and pissedness at the TV while I was staying in the hotel the night before I left back for home from bob's area. Stupid advertising playing on people's emotions. WHY CAN'T EVERY COMMERCIAL FEATURE A SOULLESS ROBOT AND A SERIES OF BEEPS AND TICKS FOR BACKGROUND MUSIC.
Anyway, that's all for me for tonight, tomorrow... whatever shit I have lying around! So it's finally come to that...
