Traditional Art Plan 9

Hi there. Since we're all friends, I thought I'd start posting the weekly comic strip I draw for my college's student-run newspaper. The end of semester is coming soon, which gives you guys time to catch up from last year. I'm going to post one strip every couple of days until you're all caught up, and then I'll post them as I draw them for the paper. Please forgive the early ones for their difficulty of reading. I get better, honest. I'll be willing to "translate" if anyone has a problem.

Here is the first one from around September, 2005. "Universal Dating." Here's the audio commentary for this. I went into the weekly meeting, a freshman in his first week of college, not knowing what to expect. I found it very entertaining and I wanted to start doing strips. So I came up with this idea, which was based on a doodle I did in high school, and refined it during my afternoon class. And that's pretty much it.

Let me know what you think. MANY more to come.

 

Huh, most of the other strips are too big to post as attatchments, so I'm going to post them on MySpace as I share them with you.

So, it doens't look like a whole lot of people have really looked here, but here is strip #2 from September 2005: "Educational Programming". The story behind this was, I had drawn a different strip meant to go after the one in the last post, but I didn't want to ink it myself, and I couldn't find anyone to do it for me. So a few weeks went by and the other strip, which was about Labor Day or one of those, became off-topic, so I scrambled to draw two more strips and I bit the bullet and inked them myself. Here's the first one. The punchline is from a movie I made in High School. One of my actors add-libbed it, and I thought it was brilliant. Notice my snazzy new graphic?
