You know what feels really good? Spending a couple hours on a comic after spending a WHOLE. MONTH. making approximately ten fast and loose comics a day.

That’s right, April is over, and so The 600 (and 2) is “done,” so I’m back to my regularly scheduled battle. Part of that battle now entails concluding The 602 because I fell behind the last weekend and I refuse to not draw 300 comics. It’s the principle of the thing. “The thing” being the number 300. Which is important to me for some reason.

And can I just sing Dave’s praises for not only doing T602 with me spur-of-the-moment, but for surpassing my expectations, keeping me engaged and entertained, and just rocking every update possible for a whole month. He made the project into the narrative masterpiece it is – I’ll remember this experience for a long, long time.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some bad comics to make.

I uploaded 10 of these last 65 strips!

Read ’em starting here 👌

idk how to draw dave these days. maybe you recognize him from old strips? probably not. I don’t have the archived strip he was in because it was wholly digital and lost during the Great Rampage Wreck of 2015 (or Whenever). But he’s doing a thing with me and I’m probably going to be spending some time figuring out how to do it best what with work and everything. This is gonna be a helluva month!

Taxes, amirite?

April Fool’s, amirite?

Tired old clichés, amirite?

Night night, amirite?

I know this one’s a little general and vague but I can apply it to a lot of things in my life.

Like, if I screw up on my update schedule, what did I do wrong? Can I set a more realistic goal, or was it just time allocation? Project scope? Synergy? 401k? Or does it really matter what I did wrong? Like, how long should I analyze failure? After the ego heals, how productive is it to hold onto all that negativity and reflection? I should try letting it go. Like all things, easier said than done.

I’ve never made brownies that didn’t turn out weird – like, cakey or eggy – and the other night I was like, “hey, what do I need to make them from scratch?” and we substituted bleached flour for whole wheat flour and used brown sugar instead of granulated white sugar and WA WA WEE WA they were great. I ate so much raw batter. I fear no egg sickness.

I’m on a roll! I’m jinxing myself typing that, but I kinda jinxed myself after I talked about feeling good that I completed a storyline so HEY I’M TEMPTING FATE I GUESS.

I sent people over to the forum, yesterday, to look at some old nsfw art – if you wanna participate over there, I’m taking requests on forum/comment avatars (also other people can jump in and draw avatars, too). You can check it out if you want a personalized doodle. Also, I think I deleted someone’s account. Sorry, dude – please just make another.

Goodnight!

Yo so why do people think that admitting that they’ve basically been stalking you is some kind of compliment? Please leave me alone, I have no idea who you are and you shouldn’t know who I am unless you’ve introduced yourself. Don’t be weird first. Be normal first. Then you can be weird all you want!

I would be lyin’ if I said I wasn’t even a little tired after that last storyline, but here I go, pushin’ through! I’m thinkin’ about doing some fun projects and I gotta make sure I’ve shooken off all the rust and figured out my priorities. Still working on it, but like I always say, it’s better every day.

In other news, I’m setting up a forum! I know, “In this day and age?” you might purport. But hey, I thought it’d be fun. And I haven’t even tweaked the CSS that much and it already looks pretty, so if you want, click that button in the banner. I even uploaded some old nsfw art that you can ogle if you’re bored at work and wanna live dangerously.

Good night!

Well this was a fun storyline! I think it’s all done. We saw Us and it was great! Different from Get Out, and really great storytelling throughout. Looking forward to watching it again (and maybe reading a few analyses).

It’s 2 AM and I have crap to do tomorrow! I’m gonna go to bed!

for the first time in a while I finished a comic ON-TIME and EARLY. I guess it helps when I know where a storyline is going, but every strip is still a unique challenge that unfolds as I create it. Gotta flow with it, even when you know where it’s going. So, what I’m saying is: it’s always a challenge and you should always be proud of yourself for overcoming a challenge, no matter what caveats eat away at your sense of pride.

Did you see that I uploaded another 20 Classic Allan strips that haven’t been online in YEARS?? Start here and work your way forward!

PS. Notice how the text in this storyline keeps changing sizes? I drew the first page in a small (narrow) sketchpad, then pt. II was drawn on a wider page, and this pt. III was drawn on this special printer paper from my work! This strip might’ve gotten a little too wide as the text’s kinda small, but the odd layout changes also lends itself well to the spooky nature of this storyline~

Not really, though. But at least I’m having fun. Goodnight!

EDIT: Messed with the text bubbles a lil. Goodnight again!

Another installment of the nail biting saga of will we get to see Jordan Peele’s terrifying new horror film Us or won’t we??

…which I am just calling This is Us.

I’m almost done with the story, though. It’s fun doing little continuity strips across a few days. Try it sometime! It’s almost APRIL.

It’s late. Bye.

Whaaat?? A storyline before I do more with my other storyline? Who could’ve guessed. I’m insane. What a visionary.

 

So far, my weekend’s been focused on one thing: seeing Jordan Peele’s Us. And let me tell you, this storyline is absolutely THRILLING. DO we see US? DON’T we??

We’ll see! I’ll try and have this baby wrapped up within one or two more updates. But for now, it’s bedtime. Adios, muchachos.
