Oh man! I won the first round of Comic Battle with this strip:

flakesnsuch

The battle is won, but the war is not over! I’ve got another strip up for round two, that you can vote on here!

Two SCP strips in two weeks? What does this mean? Is SCP back?! Only time will tell!

Keep in mind that Comic Battle is open to everyone! If you are a comics author and would like to take a shot at stealing my title, please submit something for the next round.

Oh right! The blog!

Hey all. I’ve been rather quiet lately, but it’s been for a good cause. Aaron and I are working on a long-form story, and I’ve (temporarily?) abandoned my solo work to give it my full comics-guy attention.

We’re still in the early stages, but I’m very excited about the way it’s shaping up. It is awesome to be working with such a talented artist. When I write for myself, I’m often worried about whether or not I can pull off the art from one panel to the next. I constantly have to make concessions  like skipping a crowd scenes, or limiting myself to awkward close-up shots to avoid having to draw too much funny-looking backgrounds. I don’t have to worry about these things when I’m writing for someone who knows what they’re doing!

I don’t want to spill too many beans about the story, but I will say that it’s a period piece set in the late 1800′s in a small mining town in the North American west. Thematic elements include: hard-rock mining, vegetable farming, and the finer points of commercial baking on a cast iron stove. Also: UNDERGROUND MONSTERS! Rawrrr!
