2009-06-29: Desperontonian Dick (first case)
Noir
I originally wanted to do a stark black and white look for this comic, but I guess I need practice doing that first. Hatching is fun anyway! So that's okay.
Next week the Patchstravaganza starts up. You'll see!
Don't forget to go vote on Top WebComics! It looks like I'll finish the month in the top 300, which is kind of awesome but next month I want to do better! Vote every day! Why not?! Vote at work and on your internet telephone device!
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
This begins a storyline which spans the following comics:
| 2009-06-29 |
Space Frog, Detective
Desperontonian Dick (first case) |
| 2009-07-01 | Desperontonian Dick (twist) |
| 2009-07-03 | Desperontonian Dick (thrilling conclusion) |
This comic includes the contribution:
- Axel suggested: Space Frog begins a career as a private detective and investigates his fellow Desperontites. (Desperontoans?)
