Airplane

I think most people enjoy travelling. I certainly like it. I guess it depends on what the occasion is, though. Vacation is always a good time (unless family is involved, ha!). Business travel can be fun too. In any case, the part that's usually roughest is travelling itself. Especially these days, airplane travel can be more and more...interesting.

rough mission

ever have them days when it just seems like things aren't going your way. it's as if the world has it out for you and just getting through the next hour is going to be hardest, longest thing. and it's during those moments when we retreat back into our minds and take a minute to indulge in our plight. but if you're lucky, you've got people (partner, friends, family) who can help you snap out of it.

this week's strip continues the alter ego of Secret Agent Finn. i'm really enjoying the more detailed art style while retaining a bit of humor. you got any ideas as to what "missions" you want finn to go on?! thanks as always for reading.

First Day

This week, I continue with story arc I started a couple strips back. Riley has come back from his venture into the gym and it was a rough one!

I'm getting more comfortable with the art style. But I still haven't quite perfected it yet. That being said, I made a minor mistake on proportionalities. I guess that's what happens when you rush to complete it!

good friends pt 2

who would we be without our friends to back us up. but i'm sure, in good humor, they also talk about you when you're not around. and obviously, good friends should be able to say whatever they think about you in front of you too. so, maybe here's a conversation that could happen to finn whether he was there are not. good friends.

hmm, does the character with his back towards the audience do anything for you? i don't think i'm using that technique properly...

Fee for All

It seems like there are fees for EVERYTHING! Concert fees, academic fees, gym membership fees, etc. And that's on TOP of the actual "price." Do you ever wonder what all those fees are really for? Sometimes they tell you what it's for, but it really doesn't tell you anything.

This week's strip continues a story started last week where Riley has decided to get in shape. He joins a gym! Or at least he's trying to...

introducing the secret agent

i'm not sure about the general populace, but i tend to let my imagination run sometimes. i might envision myself as some sort of secret agent or superhero, or whatever. the point is, well, i guess there's no point. it's just fun and why not.

this week introduces a new art style, a bit more real and detailed. it's supposed to let the audience know they're in a different state of mind. hope you enjoy it!

Out of Shape

Lately, I've been feeling like I've been slacking off in the exercise department. I keep poking my muscles to see if they've gotten flat yet! It's so easy to slack off once you get out of rhythm. Sometimes you just need a friend to motivate you to get back into the gym!

is it a good gift?

so, how do you know if you gave a good gift? consensus says by noticing how often they use it, or in the case of apparel, how often they wear it. so what happens if you get a crappy gift? well, for girls, they have the option to dress in layers, which means that shirt you gave her just became an undershirt (that no one can see). for a guy, well, we "accidentally" stain our shirts all the time! of course, somewhere in the relationship, honesty becomes the best course of action. :)

this week's strip features the return of the window glare (ooohhhh), and dialogue across panels. hopefully it's easy enough to read. feedback always appreciated!

The Letter

I kind of like these continuing story lines. In previous stories, I felt sort of trapped in trying to keep the story going and then wrapping it up. I think I'm getting a better feel for how to do them.

I'm still rocking the black and white! I may hit up the colors soon again though. In the meantime, enjoy!
