The plot moves forward by the tiniest of increments.

Is that Rex? What's he doing with one of the Thermopoulos twins?
I CAN'T LOOK!

Against all probability, the scheme seems to be working.

Here's a scan of a page full of doodles I drew because I felt like it. Dzemon's Dr. Kuhara models "that sweater" for no clinically approved reason. Kelly O'Dor seems to be communing with a feral cousin. Liz Dingo gives the sweater her full approval.
2017-08-13 02:15:00 +0000 UTC View PostSpringfield needs to rein in the sarcasm or it will get her into trouble. Patricia certainly is opportunistic. This might not be a good idea.
This is the last of the ad music attempts I'll belabor your ears with. As the name implies, it was made in reply to a call for submissions from a well-known pizza chain. I did not get a response from the original client, but months later I heard that a different client was potentially interested in the piece. This was disturbing f...
2017-08-12 17:16:33 +0000 UTC View PostI must have established elsewhere (in some throwaway gag panels maybe) that Springfield is always rude to the restaurant patrons.
This guy was asking for it, though.
Perhaps this could be considered a Deleted Scene from the Ballad of Adler Young: Prosecutorial Floozy Miss Thompson perches on the table after her successful pole-dancing routine at the conclusion of Adler's trial. The garters are not for stockings; they are just for decoration, to accentuate her thighs. She is a Floozy after all!...
2017-08-11 01:59:10 +0000 UTC View PostNow we suddenly cut to Springfield's place of work. These were short comics that I posted in haphazard order - just as I happened to think of them - on FA back in 2007.
And .. Jeez, Springfield, what a potty-mouth!

This, I think, was my first try for a 30 second commercial soundtrack. They had asked for something goofy with ukulele, but this .. Great Fuma, what was I thinking?
Obviously the submission went nowhere.

Springfield's dad still makes me laugh. Of course her parents were hippies if they named their daughter Springfield Buffalo.
I thought Clyde might become the star of the series for a while.

2017-08-06 03:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostFinally our main character appears!
This was actually the first page of the story; the previous 6 pages were added as an aside to fill out Zandar's character, and when I later compiled everything into a canonical order, I decided to put them first. Anywhere else in the story, they broke the continuity.
I don't think I will do video for every commission because it's time consuming, and I only have a limited amount of things to talk about. After the first couple of vids they would all be pretty much the same. Also it seems that getting real-time video (as opposed to time-lapse) to look & sound good is going to cost more money.
P.S...
2017-08-04 04:54:44 +0000 UTC View PostIn the Saga I adopted a rule of not using thought bubbles. I would never reveal this much of Zandar's inner monologue now.
I actually made it to the second round! The agency emailed me, saying the client liked my sample, but could it "swell" or "get bigger" towards the end? So then, the second round involves a smaller number of people, sweating as they try to figure out exactly what the non-musician clients mean by the revisions they've asked for, making ch...
2017-08-03 15:47:40 +0000 UTC View PostAbout eight years ago now, I guess, for a brief time I tried making music for commercials. IT'S A CHUMP'S GAME, I tell ya! Ad agencies would send out calls for some particular kind of thing, and anybody could submit a sample .. from the musician's point of view, what happens is you bust your ass writing & recording a track for the d...

2017-08-03 01:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt's going to be difficult to justify Zandar's activities here, but I trust something will occur to me when the Saga finally catches up.
What could possibly go wrong?

Now that I think of it, this was not the first appearance of Zandar. She showed up in Springfield's story, and then I backed up to draw this as an aside to show what she was up to. Later when I put the pages in canonical order, this wound up being first because there was no other sensible place to put it.

2017-07-31 02:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostWell, today my pledges exceeded the $150 level, and I said I'd start posting this story if that happened.
At the time when this came out, nobody knew Zandar Skonk. This was the first time we were seeing her, and we also didn't know anything about that weird little creature she's teasing.
This is basically some proof-of-concept nonsense just to see how a video of me drawing would look.
Excitement factor: LOW
