402: Oversimplifications

I like this deputy.

If you think the second panel’s not finished, well, it wasn’t. I had to get this strip off my desk, so it went as-is. Things I would have finished are the room and I would have tweaked the characters a bit more. But, that’s pretty much always the case. I hit a point where I have to move forward. This is one of the strips where the break is relatively evident, but I always want to go further. I think if I didn’t set aside a certain amount of time for each step a comic could go on forever. In general, though, I try to spread my time better amongst the tasks to keep the seams a little neater.

401: Begging the Question

Of course there’s a “system”, because it drags people into it! I was digging through my notes on my desk, and saw a good, short story that I can run through that is relatively unencumbered. Just a few quick gags with no heavy character growth.

I had originally planned to have a server rack in the last panel, and had written it various ways, but I found it visually distracting in the thumbnails and it put too much importance on something I wasn’t really planning on revisiting. So, I tweaked it to be just another conspiracy theory.

400: No Big

And this wraps up the BiteyFish storyline. Just about everyone got a piece of the action in this one, which is pretty satisfying. It took forever to finish, but you can’t win them all.

Middle management is not a fate I would wish on anyone, but if there’s a character capable of bending the world to her will it’s Mary. Well, the female lead does a pretty good job at it, too, but she was already there five years ago. That story happened before the strip ever started.

I have a few stories I want to fire off in rapid succession, but I’m not sure exactly how I’ll do it yet. I’ll have to figure it out soon, though, because I don’t want to waste time on interstitials if I can avoid it. I enjoy doing them, but I want to keep the head of steam rolling for a while longer. All I can promise is that there will be more comics.

399: Denial

The surest rumors are the ones management denies the most. You could take that to the bank, if the bank dealt in rumors. So, really, you could take that to Wall Street. I think it’d be called insider trading.
