Welcome!
A few people have expressed
interest in seeing how I create the comic, so I thought I
would put together a little tutorial on how I do
things. My process is ever-evolving, so this tutorial
only represents how I did things up to comic #81, but I
doubt things will change so drastically that most of it
won't apply for the life of this comic.
I have written this tutorial as both a means of showing my
readers how I do things as well as potentially instructing
those who want to know how to apply some of these methods to
their own comics. Stop laughing, it's possible!
So, the wording may get a bit technical at times. I
apologize to the readers for that, but if you find yourself
losing interest in the writing, the pictures alone will show
you the evolution of the comic from pencil sketch to a
finished work.
