2005-08-30: The Bullshit Detector / Pressure
Never again!
I am never again drawing a comic set in an airplane! That was way too much of a pain to draw. Ugh. It wouldn't be so bad if I could manage the discipline of actually drawing everything at the pencil stage and not freehanding madly with the pen. I guess that's what comes from years of drawing only with pen, in my sketchbooks. Badly.
Those're my parents in the second comic, aren't they! And there are birds making weird noises right outside my window.
I'm sorry about the cussing, I bet half of you are going to stop reading this now forever. It was necessary to make a point. I'm not sorry about the massive amounts of blood that seem to be involved in my comics recently. That's kind of weird, isn't it? Maybe I have Issues.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Old Comics
The site started with "cleaned up" comics from my old sketchbooks, which go back almost fifteen years. Eventually I ran out and had to come up with new things! That was a terrifying moment.
