“Part 1” is complete!
January 26, 2025
It’s been too long since a proper ‘blog’ post in this space. I have been leaving posts with each comic that I think cover how I feel at that moment in time.
After almost three years of work, I have completed the 100 comics I set out to do. I told myself I had to do a hundred, so that I could make it over the ‘wall’. I think it turned out pretty good. We have the early comics which are more just one-offs, but then the last 16 comics form a full narrative arc!
I’m taking some time to consider what to do next. So far, I know I need to continue working with these characters. I plan to make one long story arc for each of the three ‘other’ characters (everyone minus Sam). But the amount of work that I think that would take could be more than a decade of work.
But what else am I working on? I have some other creative ideas I might pursue instead. I’m currently seeing how much work the first “issue” of the next Part would take, and based on that I might just shelve the whole thing.
If I move forward I am considering changing:
- The style (Full colour that’s more expressive vs. Limited 2-colour that’s more unique)
- The lettering (digital typesetting with a font, instead of hand lettering… better for localization?)
- The layout (no more four-panel webcomic format!)
There will also be a LIMITED RUN of the first 100 comics. My mom wants a copy! It will happen on Kickstarter. Stay tuned to this space and Instagram!
