Long, but amusing =)

Hey, thanks.

Except for "mmyers nightmare" and "Porter Goss, International Man of Mystery", none of my series even started out as such. I thought this story MIGHT run two strips-- the lady swallows the diamond and they have to get it out. But Shorty and Paris Hilton and Snooky (the monkey/chimp) hijacked it. I'm used to outlining a story and plotting out the whole thing from beginning to end, but with these it's like I'm just transcribing what the characters are saying. And even with "mmyers" and "Porter Goss", I only knew what the first strip was going to be-- no idea how what was going to happen after that. Weird.

Also, as is probably pretty obvious, I'm an aficianado of the Algonquin Round Table, craft brewing, and Vermont.

I've tried to make a series or two before that last over 5 strips, but it doesn't really work for me. My material is too thin to begin with I think.

I usually can't make anything less than five.

Nice work on the comics btw.

Thankyewvermuch.

I'm curious to know how other people work-- do you plan out the whole story in advance, do you just start writing, how do you do it?

The way I do it is I'll think up some fantastical ideas while I'm at work or in the shower or something, sometimes I think up enough for dozens of strips but when I get to my computer it all seems to disappear on me so I end up making shit like this:
