So, in case you haven’t noticed, the strip has been a little…different lately. No, I haven’t dumped all the old characters and started the whole thing over. I am just trying out different things and going where ever the comic tells me. One secret (which I probably shouldn’t share,) is that I don’t ever plan any of the story lines out in advance. Each comic is simply wherever the next joke or funny thought is.

Part of the change in the look was necessitated by the fact that my computer decided to completely self destruct on me, and I was left Photoshop-less for the better part of a couple weeks. It’s funny, because we become so enamored with the wonders of technology, that we sometimes forget how life existed before and without it.

The hand inked and water colored comics were a simple result of continuing to produce the comic with whatever supplies I had lying around. But you know what? I really love doing them this way.

So will it stay this way permanently? I doubt it. But who knows?
