Well hello there. Do you remember the stupid comics? My stupid comics? My most recent stupid comics? Here be the first three “pages” of the next part, that being the part after the last part. I had wanted to have five by two weeks ago, but ehhh. I’m still adjusting to the idea of doing this for speed and clarity (evidenced by the intensified shading on the panels made later and occasionally inserted between ones made earlier). Oh, and right: my pen ran out of ink, mostly, and I didn’t replace it because it was really a marker and I want a real pen but they cost over thirty dollars and this no longer inspires within me the naive optimism of potential profitability it once did, so back to paint-shop-pro layers again I go, I suppose. But anyway, hopefully this makes sense so far.
Addendoy: I’d be interested in knowing if anyone tried to look at this but couldn’t get past the giant creepy, disproportionate picture at the start.
Page 62 of this and a few others are here. Attentive readers may notice a distinct difference in the style of the pictures. Probably the fifth abrupt alteration in a year, but this one seems different somehow. I have now crossed the border from inconsequential, insidious web-comic to one of those badly drawn self-lettered things you’d see in The New Haven Advocate (persons outside the New Haven Area, feel free to substitute whatever earthy liberal sub-tabloid publication you can take for free from local places of business into the previous sentence). The idea was to get the things “done” much faster, and also that out of simple necessity the drawings would become more clear. This has not been the case. In my attempts to yet accomplish it, I employ a technique I have come to call “drawing beyond my means.” I’d rather not employ this technique, but I have noticed that I do. Post-scan fiddling remains at large.
“You know, there are classes you can take that show you how to do this RIGHT“ -my mind. But if there’s anything I’ve learned on the internet, it’s that I hate other people who fancy themselves as “cartoonists.” If there’s anything I’ve learned from classes, it’s that I detest being surrounded by people I can’t or don’t wish to speak to. I’m afraid if I want to get this done it will be mostly on my own, and it will take a long time if it happens at all.
Though if anyone has any comments or suggestions I’d love to know about it. I think. Better I ask you than I go around consulting other people who draw upright walking animal type things, you know.
