I've started a few webcomics at this point, and all of them are ongoing…well, at least in theory.
There's always the question of where to start. What's page one gonna be?
With my first comic, Typical Strange, I LABORED over that decision for years.

Early Words

It's just, like, my opinion, man
I've been rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation lately, and so much of what I loved about it on first viewing holds up beautifully.
Watching a series which is almost all standalone episodes is interesting, too. There's a basic premise of ...
Concepts into Characters...into Canada?
Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 22, 2024
I'm not sure if we've talked about this before, but character creation has so many possible roads.
An interesting one is turning a ‘concept’ into a character. It's been done many times - of course, there are the ancient Gods and Goddesses, that personify different aspects of reality ...

The Comedy Villain
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 18, 2024
A fun type of character is the Comedy Villain. This is not a comic relief character in a more serious story; this is the Villain in a Comedic story or series. Actually, they MIGHT be the funniest character - but we'll get to that in a bit.
The legendary comedy ...
Quackcast 670 - Wise use of influence

Character Deep Dive: Polly from Bottomless Waitress
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 21, 2023
Today’s deep dive is with Polly, from Bottomless Waitress! Bottomless Waitress is the joint creation of Banes and Ozoneocean, with Banes writing the script and Ozoneocean doing the artwork.
It's a teasing, raunchy and somewhat absurd slice-of-life comedy. It’s a masterful balancing act, dancing carefree on the ...
