I've been contemplating starting a web comic back since my undergrad days. I could never quite get myself started. It was a combination of a lack of ideas, lack of time, and I guess a lack of determination. It was very lacking. Even when I had an idea in mind, I would get stuck, because I could never settle on a style and it was difficult to ever complete anything. I would get really nitpicky with my work and then eventually just abandon it.Just to keep the bar low, this probably won't amount to anything. I sketched out a strip that I had meant to do like four/five years ago. It's not clever at all, but whatever. Maybe this will get me started, maybe I'll just forget about it. It's nice just to have something "done." I purposely kept it sketchy, because if I ever tried to polish it, I would never be able to finish.

The style is cute! Are there webcomics you read regularly? I just recently spent a ridiculous amount of time reading through all 600+ strips of one called The Order of the Stick (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html). It's a parody of D&D style fantasy tabletop RPGs.
you should continue making comics without boxes. see how far you can take it before it becomes really confusing. and then get rid of the rectangle. and then get rid of pictures. and then just degenerate into Cerebus.
Haha is this based on a conversation we once had?
hello brother.
i like the no boxes style as well. stylistic to have the last frame off center, not entirely symmetrical, a comment on a world not structured by boundaries, artificial equality or neatness
