So, in the interests of documenting the first concept sketches of characters I use, here is the first sketch of Nigel, a corporate CEO who was introduced in this strip. Strange as it might be, the way I write storylines is by sketching a random character first, and then brainstorming about what I think this character does and how Edmund would interact with him. Here’s Nigel:
The other CEO to be posted next…
Hello! I think if I were ever in a rock band, I’d play the conch. Because then I’d have the rock cred from being part of the band, but I wouldn’t have the pressure that comes along with playing, say, the electric guitar. Think about it. Have you ever left a concert and turned to your buddy to say, “Man they rocked the house! But that conch player totally blew his solo, though.”
No, you haven’t. For two reasons: One, the odds of a spontaneous pun like that are very slim in real life, and two, everyone cheers for the conch player no matter what. Well, except for maybe the snooty conch instructor in the lawn seats who just sat there and judged the whole time.
Am I the only one who enjoys reading generated spam comments from time to time? Like this gem:
Completely I share your opinion. In it something is and it is good idea. It is ready to support you.
I just feel like approving that one, even if it does link to some investment scam site.
