Great!!

Here we have page two of Musing. This comic was done with complete digital backgounds. The only thing I drew was Mort and Gazoo. You guys like? I really had no idea what Mort's lab would look like. So what happened is that I kept putting off designing it, and it came down to the twelfth hour. So I started putting blobs in there. I figured it'd look something like the crowds in the Clash story (which style I'd been wanting to do again really). What came out for some reason was very sharp and detailed. And oh so shiney! And then there was the chalkboard. That was a bitch. As you can see the joke started to wear thin. Hope you enjoy.

Musing..

This is what that poll was about.
I've noticed that I don't use Mort too often. And I planned that all three of the original group would have a plot line. Even before Mac came along as a main character, I figured that Posey would have a story, Gar would, and Mort would. All three could prove a testing ground for different techniques. In the Clash Storyline I experimented with crowd scenes. In Bookingtons, I tried my hand at some better writing, and in Mort's I'm going to introduce a new character. Along with that, I got sucked into doing the backgrounds completely digitally, which was a challenge for me. I've been trying it for years, but this is the first chance to do it for a complete story. I hope you guys like it. And now without further ado, the first page of Mort's story: Musing.

Pixelicious..

This was a simple idea that came to me. I figured I'd just have Gar running up a hill. Then I thought of the pixelly things that people had been doing all over Deviantart, and thought to add the Mario Bros angle to it. For anybody's information, this isn't an example of any particular game, just a mash up of different things from a few of them. High Scores are fun (of course, they'd be more fun if I was any good at these kinds of games.

One more thing, if anybody's interested.. There's a new Same Apartment page up on my site, Tomcat Ltd. It's roughly the same as before, but the code's been updated courtesy of Thurinus and his mad coding skillz. Now there's a handy dropdown menu with all the comics in it. Plus it should be much faster for those with slower net connections. So head down there and check it out. Same Apartment's new page..

Back..

Well I'm back with regular updates. The vacation was good. I managed to get four buffer comics in the hole. And I have until the end of the month boarded out. That's always a nice thing to have.

Here we go, right into the new year of Same Apartment.
