After a little over a year of playing with StripCreator, it occured to me that I've never posted a single comic in the RMDC forums. Aside from a few competition comics, I don't post them. So, this is why I say it's an "introduction", because I have never really exposed my comics to others, they've just sort of been there with people reading them as they come across them and occasionally saying nice things about them, for which I am thankful.

When I started using Stripcreator I, like many others, had the bright idea that I wanted to do a continuous series with the same characters and setting, but I quickly abandoned it. I like my early comics, but for some reason I just couldn't keep doing it, so I guess I have a respect for any comic author (whether on this amateur level or on a professional level) who manages to keep writing a routine comic, doing it well, and not going insane. I have an unusual sense of humor in that sometimes I like conventional comics and other times I like to make crude "anti-humor" style comics that are just random, silly, and intentionally stupid. I've also toyed with some series which are pretty much ongoing things, although a few I haven't touched in awhile.
Enough of my jibber-jabber...here's a few of my recent ones I enjoyed making.

All of my "Working Retail" comics are, like so many comics around here, just me letting off some steam in regards to my job as customer service-y type person in a retail store. Every single comic I make in this series is based on or inspired by a 100% true experience I've had (or keep having) while at work.
I think there's a place for the retail environment in the world, but I really hate the vapid, mindless consumerism that has been so thoroughly bred into so many Americans. It really does make people stupid. Seriously.

I like them too. Good job. And welcome to RMDC.

Little tip: put spaces after (before, in the middle of, wherever) your ellipses to avoid widening the panel like in the first retail comic you posted.

It's about time you posted your comics here. Good stuff, as usual.

Thanks for the kind words, all. And the tips.

And the nips.
