Issues Upon Issues

I'm going to have to get blogging more, because I've started to forget what I've talked about before...

Eh, like it matters... Here's another comic sample:

I think I'm going to have to add noses to my characters. I can't pull off a successful profile any other way, and I just can't have two characters talking to each other that successfully without showing them in profile once and a while... and I don't want to stylistically limit myself this early on.

I'm going to need to write in a couple of female characters too...

Jet Packs & Time Machines

And so, the title has changed yet again... I liked "Partially Robotic Boy" but I didn't feel like focusing on a single character, so I needed something more all-encompassing.

As things stand now, jokes have been written and strips have been made (a handful anyways). I'm not kidding myself that I'm ready to jump into full scale production yet though. There is much refining to do. The biggest question at this time: Nose or not to nose? My characters don't have noses right now... but can I keep them that way? It impairs my attempts to draw them in the round, and I'm not sure that I'm willing to make that kind of sacrifice for style.


This is the first strip I've made since I set out to create a new feature (from the bones of the features that came before it). I've become aware of a number of technical issues that I'll need to address in the future, but all in all, I'm pretty satisfied with it.
