The Invalidator
Monday, October 6, 2008
It's been a long time since I've set out to do anything in comic form of substantial length (save the aborted Omnipresence daily project). My last 6-page comic book, Disappointor, was published over five years ago. It was supposed to be the beginning of a line of books to be entitled City of Assholes (as opposed to City of Heroes), with a recurring cast of villainous characters who were mostly just jerks.
In my desire to be more productive, I'm going through a lot of old projects and determining whether to continue and complete them or to discard them. So, with some time to kill Sunday, I whipped out a complete issue of The Invalidator, the intended second in the City of Assholes series. It was kind of a rush job, what with the story and layout already done in 2005 and 2006. It's a bit silly, but I had fun with it. Click on the cover to read it (6 pages).

The Comic Strip That Almost Was
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Webcomicking is hard work. I should know; for about a year (September 2001 to December 2002), I wrote and drew Hans thrice weekly. For a variety reasons, it drew to a close, and I wasn't too keen on returning to it.
But occasionally, I get the nagging urge to start one up again. In 2005, I came up a charming premise and cast of characters (with enough jokes and a story outline to last me for a couple of months) to launch a new comic. The reason it never materialized? I still suspect that it's because I never named it. The reason I never named it? There are only so many things I could think of to call yet another webcomic about four college-attending twenty-somethings who played video games.
Really? That was it? What was supposed to set it apart was another character. The Omnipresence. The conscious, floating, speaking visual manifestation of an omnipresent force that happened to enjoy the company of the young protagonists.
Omni, as he (a kind of sexist conceit even Omni wasn't comfortable with) didn't particularly mind being called, found himself embittered by four billion years of nothing happening before people really started making things interesting. An agnostic, he would engage the residents and visitors of the apartment in theological arguments and frustrate others by being unable to recall certain events that didn't seem all that important at the time ("It looked like just another motorcade. How was I supposed to know?"). When he's not hanging out with these guys, he's hangs with a Japanese family, even though he never learned Japanese and they don't speak very good English.
The central character, however, was Lee, a character that would later inform the way I would conceive of the character of Jeff for Legends of Minigolf (and even use his basic character model in storyboards). Definitely a nerd, but a nerd without the kind of focus of a comic book or video game nerd, he wanders into an anime club meeting one day, feeling horribly out of place, where he meets a similarly out of place nerd, Eileen, who end up hanging out based on this similarity. Eileen becomes a fixture at the apartment and develops with Lee the kind of no-you-move-first sexual tension that can function as a wonderful, long-running narrative device.
The other two roommates, Wyatt and Carly, were childhood friends of Lee. Wyatt was a dedicated video game nerd, sometimes locking himself away with his PS2 for weeks on end to complete an RPG at 100%, while still managing to attend classes enough to get by. Carly was the black sheep of the group, bubbly, personable, and popular.
I did produce one comic, with Lee and Omni, while I was trying to nail down the visual look of the strip. One of these days, I'll probably talk myself into writing another comic. Until then, this is all I have to show for this particular venture.

Sweater Vest
Friday, September 7, 2007
 This is the sort of trauma men are subject to at public urinals. Craning your neck around to see who's back there would be far too conspicuous a motion. You stand there, looking straight ahead, vulnerable. Anyone in the world could walk through that restroom door. Anyone in the world could stand behind you. Anyone in the world could be looking at your sweater vest. And you would never know. Labels: comic, sketches
