EOS 21: Accounting for The Lost

OK, I t did this in a day. visually, it is simpler than I woudl have liked, but I think it turned out alright.
Notes:
I wrote a story explaining panel 2.
If given a choice between drawing a Tonka Truck and Not Drawing a Tonka Truck, draw a Tonka Truck.
I was going to have one more panel on this, but I decided to make it into its own strip.
Expect something Friday!

EOS 20: Fear + Gratitude = ?

OK, I am winding things down with this storyline. I think one more should wrap up things. Then we will see what I can do with some more humorous strips. By the way. I had a lot of fun drawing this one.

Honestly, telling stories feels a little more rewarding than just jokes. I am trying to figure out if I will turn this into a big project or just a playground for comic experiments. In other news, I deactivated my Facebook account today. I will see how long this lasts.

EOS 19: Clearing Up Things

I hope this one was worth the wait. I like it, but it might be a bit confusing. My defense is that it is a hallucination. However, as long as you can read, you should be able to get what you need out of it, and since you are reading this, we know that you can read.

So the biggest complaint I get about the comic is, "I don't get it." What don't you get? Am I doing a bad job storytelling? Is it confusing to jump between a joke strip and a story strip? Joke strips are easier to make, so I use them as filler when I do not have time. Am I hinting at things about which I which I should be more explicit? Are you expecting a joke when you are getting a piece of the story or the other way around? Well, that is why I am doing this experimental phase, to figure out what needs to be fixed up.

Anyway, this storyline will be finished up in a week or two. Then we will go to a funnier storyline. Well, until next time.

EOS:18 Professorial Time Allocation

OK, this is a break from the storyline that I just threw together tonight.
I was going to throw together a hallucination based comic that would fit with the current story, but I decided that I would go all-out on that one, so I will need the full week to do it. This one took a few hours, and it was mainly an exercise in speed.

This one is a shout out to all of the overworked academics out there. Whenever I tell people that that I am doing a comic, they ask me one of two questions, "Is it going to be a superhero or a Garfield type comic?" or "Is it like the PhD comics?" Well, I never really wanted to copy www.phdcomics.com I am in graduate school, so there will be some grad school jokes. If you want the PhD. comics then read them. They are awesome.
