Comic Notes

You’re probably thinking: this is another fairly amusing animal comic, but where is the title character? Where’s the story??
I just want to let you know that he’ll be returning soon. I have a lot of other work I’m in the middle of and I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to sit and think about the next arc of the story (the specifics of it, anyway, like how it should actually begin). So rather than jump in unprepared, I’m doing weekly stand-alone strips until I feel comfortable with the direction I want to take.
It could be another few weeks until Charles and Gilgamesh reappear, but there’ll still be a new comic here every Wednesday, so sit tight and imagine that they’re wandering through the woods somewhere on their way to the mountain. Easy, right?
 

Creating a Comic

 

For those of you who missed the live stream, here are the videos of the creation of the ‘Squirrel-Chew’ strip, from start to finish. They’re really long (especially the bits where I’m trying to figure out the writing) but if you’re interested in how the comic is made, this has it all!
Note: If it sounds like I’m talking to myself, it’s because I’m answering questions from the live chat stream.
