I’m heading to Madison, WI for a few days this coming week! I’m excited and also prepared to exhaust myself daily. I don’t deal with cold well, or time changes, or sobriety, and I’m planning on hitting all three head on while I’m there, so… here we go. If anyone likes a challenge, it’s yours truly. I just, y’know, hate it the entire time it’s going on. But appreciate it in hindsight, of course.
This is a comic that I wanted to make to test out this new lil drawing surface. The strip took far too long because I didn’t adhere to either pencil or pen or digital or color, etc. I did everything. It took all Friday. I wanna play Diablo because the original just launched on GOG recently. Time to pwn some skeletons.
btw, y’all know Jon Batiste, right? From Colbert? He does this weird nasal screech sound that makes me laugh. He does it all the time. No one talks about it! That’s what I’m referencing in the last three panels there.
OK night.
Just found this again, and I’m so so pleased. I vaguely followed you after Allan ended, through some of the the things that happened and then infrequently checked in during your silence. Here I was just today checking my webcomics Hiatus folder and I saw Allan. It took me to your portfolio site which was such a pleasure, seeing how it’s come a very long way from the last time I’d seen your collection of work. And icing on top, here is another comic in the vein of the original. An honest telling of your life from your own perspective in comic form, slice of life with a real persona to follow along.
As a PS I’m sure is irrelevant and unneeded; Cory, Allan, Greg, or Carl, your comic was one I read over a large period of my life and helped me see another side of things. I’m glad to see a webcomic from you and your general wellbeing. Looking very forward to putting this in my webcomics folder!
This is so encouraging to hear. It means so much that others have the same sort of human curiosity that I do. I have a lot of anxiety about putting anything emotive, expressive, or vulnerable out on the internet. In the back of my mind I always worry I’m going to get hate because, “who cares?” It’s always nice to read that someone does.
Take care. Looking forward to the future, too.
