Fifty Baby..

It's been a wild ride. Fifty comics. Can you imagine that? FIFTY. That's not like hitting double digits. The most I got out of a comic before this was 10 pages on my Super Mario Brothers comic. On original work, before that it was eight pages on S'mores Force. And I'd still like to do more with them. But that's for another day. This post is about Same Apartment. It's their day this Saturday of Saturdays. Gar, Posey, Mort, and later Mac have been through a bunch of things. When I started this endeavor I was trying to find a bit of stability. While I had some fun with things like Fast Food (the Ronald McDonald thing) and reimaginings of Mickey Mouse, Popeye and the Brothers, I wasn't really thrilled with going on long periods of time with any of them. The Mario Brothers comics would take a month to do with other things in between. And Fast Food was such a random idea that while fun, I couldn't see them really doing much. Then I started reading comics. Web comics. I read through the archives of Applegeeks and VGCats. I thought I could do that. It wouldn't be hard. Maybe a bit of stability. And (as I thought a lot then) if I don't like doing it, I can always just cancel it down the road. Well here we are fifty some odd weeks later (I lost a bit of time in the shuffle of the Fun with Puppets comic I think). I never thought I could get this kind of following. It helped to get my web site up and to give me something to regularly put in my Deviantart page. But it also helped me to make up new characters that I think people connect with. And they turned out more differently than I could've imagined. But I'll save that for later. I leave this entry as a marker for fifty comics in the can. And hopefully more to come.
