A new comic

Monday, April 6th, 2009

I have been thinking about drawing a comic for a long time. I recently decided to switch my blog over to a site-hosted wordpress blog. I know they crash a lot, but I don’t foresee that much traffic—at least not enough to really give it a headache.

So the comic is going to be about a kid, Jack, who dreams. Jack falls asleep one night and finds himself in a dream world, where his guide is his stuffed rabbit named Squishy. In the real world, Squishy can fit into his arms, but in the dream world, Squishy is a 9-foot-tall protector of Jack.

I would like to update this comic on a regular basis. Instead of having each page be self contained, I’m going to try and make complete story arcs with developing characters and ultimately an overarching story line about Jack growing up and securing the dream worlds. The idea is modular and meant to change over time, so it could morph into something else.

I haven’t written a comic since I was very small. Even then I had a different idea for each book, and they rarely had words.

Expect to see the first page sometime this week. I will have a new post every week to continue the story. Lots of cliff hangers, but the challenge will be to have each post be somewhat self contained. Episodic content, serial in nature, with an overarching story.
