1) I did a lot more of this strip on paper, not as much in Photoshop. I hope you enjoy it. I enjoyed the process a lot more.
2) mine and my family’s move is coming up fast! As is STAPLE!, the comic convention in Austin. Updates may be sporadic for the next 7 weeks or so. I’ll keep you updated as things change, but for now please bear with me as I don’t know how often I’ll be updating.
Thanks for reading and see you again soon,
Miguel
Pissed. My entry got erased. Time to say it again. Mangs. Okay, first this strip is cool. It’s by Jamie Dee Galey, the first artist for Filth Hole, which at its start was hilarious. Now defunct, but check it out nonetheless. NSFW btw.
The strip reminds me of my friend Chris who is always being confronted when he walks down the street, for no apparent reason. I think it is because Chris is of a liminal size to these dudes he passes, and they don’t know if they should fight or flight. I think it’s because he’s small-ish but compact.
Next. I think this story, by Jamie’s son I believe?, is so sweet. It’s almost like a recursive story that never ends (”A boy woke up and decided to write down his dream. It went like this: ‘A boy woke up and decided to write down his dream. It went like this: ”A boy woke up and decided to write down his dream…””).
I saw this on Conan in 1999 when it first aired. It’s as awesome now as it was then. I listened to the album recently that the song is from, Flaming Red, and its really good too. Mari told me that Patty Griffin wrote The Dixie Chick’s hit, “Fly”, and I think it’s apparent from some of the songs on Flaming Red that The Dixie Chicks are heavily influenced by her.
