Hi!
So, last month, it was my turn to head up the writing chores for the comic. It was a lot of fun, but it also had a few challenges. I figured it’s be fun to give you a little bit of insight, or a “behind the curtains” look at what my process was.
First and foremost, I found it difficult to express in writing the visual gags I had in mind. I settle pretty early on a theme (the four of us go to a heavy metal festival), which I thought had potential for fun and was also timely as Heavy MTL was in town. Yet, putting the ideas down on paper was getting me nowhere, and the punchlines weren’t coming together.
So I decided just to make comics. I had all the files from the “classic” comics. I popped open my photo editor, loaded them up, and just started tapping away.
