Cold Sunday afternoon spent playing around with the F-stop settings on my new camera.

For someone as technologically savvy as I like to think that I am, cell phones have consistantly been that last little begruging area of techdom that I have been less than keen to embrace.

So, it should come as a bit of a shock to all my friends, specifically those who have consistently derided me for my lack of mobile phonedom (Hi, Michelle!), that I have finally entered the modern world of portable telephonic devices.

After a ton of research, I finally broke down and bought a LG Dare. And I must say that this is one damn slick phone. My favorite part: the full qwerty touch keypad. I cannot stand that T9 crap.

Of course, I am now in possession of enough small hand held personal electronic devices to invade some small defenseless country.

Now only to decide which one…

Sweden, perhaps?

Was happy with today’s comic, so I thought I would post a couple of the panels a little larger. Sometimes a lot of the art gets lost when I resize them.

Decided to post the individual panels a little larger. They’re almost capably of standing on their own.

Recently, the webcomic Least I Could Do

<

ran a stroyline revolving around a massive crossover of webcomics, and somehow my comic . Not really sure how that happened. It was a pretty tiny cameo, but it was a treat to be in the same space as so many other comics created by artists I respect and admire.

The creators of Least I could Do, Lar DeSouza and Ryan Sohmer also draw and write a second comic, Looking For Group . This is my take on one of the main characters, Cale’Anon.

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?

So yeah, I switched up the site a bit. Mostly just a new color pallet, but I dig it.
