Strip No. 2!!!

[mrlich]

In something that alarmingly seems like productivity, I finished another strip for 1100. By all means - check it out and let me know what you think!

I'm diggin' it. The dialog is a little rough but I like that same roughness in the drawings (or at least how you leave the initial lines in a little bit). I mean, you know, it's still no Second Chances but I enjoy reading your strip. Keep them coming!

Thanks bud. I agree that the dialogue is (I would go as far as VERY) choppy, but I'm no pro, and I've come to terms with that. Not everyone can be a Second Chances, but I'll keep my head up and maybe someday....

Glad to know that you're enjoying the strip. Did you recognize Joe?

Yes! I knew that was him but didn't want to say anything in case (for some bizarre reason) I was wrong. I'm so bizarre (hence the constant comparisons to a comic I saw on the front page of that site). But yes, totally knew that was Joe. He looks better in two dimensions than three.

Another good one! We'll make a stripper out of you yet.

Yeah - I was thinking of all the different ways that Strip could be used that sounded funny. That seems the best thus far.

Glad you're enjoying the chaos!

Nice! Keep at it. I like the art style, it's unique to any online strip I've seen. Also, that's good to know about the coffee.

Dialogue is hard. Punchy dialogue is very hard. Punchy dialogue that fits in a word balloon is damn nigh impossible to get right the first time. One tip I've heard is to approach it like writing song lyrics which don't rhyme.

It's eerie how perfectly he nailed those guys. I mean, drew them.
