Webcomics

If you read the last post you will remember mentioning that me and my friend Benn have been throwing about our webcomic ideas again.

So here are some roughs, we aren't up and running yet but we have over 20 thoroughly planned strip ideas. You won't be able to tell whats going on and that's the way I like it, it maybe that I'm inherently evil.

People keep asking me "So whats your webcomic about" and it's a tough question. Though the way Ross described it to someone he knows is, "Shes making it with someone who runs Unknown Armies, that gives you an idea of how surreal it will be." Benn the guy who is primarily doing the writing for the comic is a superb bloke from New Zealand who I met via ORC: Open Roleplaying Society that runs every Saturday at Caffe Nero on Rose Street.

If you also look in my side bar you will see a small list of webcomics that I read. I also listen to a podcast called Webcomics Weekly with some pretty experienced cartoonists, Scott Kurtz of PvP, Kris Straub with Starslip Crisis, Dave Kellett with Sheldon and Brad Guigar with Evil Inc. So this really made me want to get back into working on the webcomics. If your thinking about getting into webcomics I would seriously recommend it.

You may have gotten the idea by now that I am in love with webcomics, though when it comes to printed it comes down to three words for me.

Calvin and Hobbes.

Thanks for coming by for a gander.

I have a few comics that I've posted on my blog. Would love for you to have a look. Find them under "Family Practice" postings.

I agree Calvin and Hobbs. I would add Far Side. Too bad they both retired.
