I found a great pen for sketching on normal paper (when not wanting to waste valuable, expensive bristol). It’s the Pilot Laser Point pen. Micron Pigma pens, which I use to draw the comics on bristol, don’t have the same effect on normal paper…and I think normal paper wears out the Micron pen tip.
Here are some doodles from said pen (the Pilot Laser Point), on computer paper. I think it has a good line quality with just the slight amount of bleed that I think makes inked lines look nice and organic. Click the image to view it larger.
Too many trees overhang my morning walk. Every morning I hear the shuffling and rustling of branches above my head. Leaves fall around me. Soon, a squirrel will land on my head. I know it.
But I haven’t accepted it yet. So, I thought about wearing a football helmet. But then, what if the squirrel lands on the face mask, and bounces into my face, thereby trapped between my face and the mask? Okay, no football helmet. How about an umbrella? Then, the umbrella’s height might be high enough to hit the branches, knocking squirrels from the branches that otherwise wouldn’t have fallen. Is there any solution, other than me walking around in one of those ultra-padded police dog training sumo outfits? If there is, I hope they sell it for cheap at Wal-Mart sometime soon, because I would thoroughly enjoy peace of mind at low, low prices.

I realize I have many readers in other countries who don’t celebrate things like Halloween and Thanksgiving. Hopefully the comics that deal with them are still enjoyable.
I want to thank all of you who have voted for me in the following categories for the WCRC Awards, and a great thanks to my fellow webcomickers who nominated me to begin with. Here are the categories Edmund Finney falls into:
Best New Comic (nominated by Paul of Woody After Hours)
Best Protagonist (nominated by Novil of Sandra and Woo)
Best Writing (nominated by Bearman of Beartoons)
Awesome!
Also, if you’re not a Facebook Fan and you’re on Facebook, why not become one? You can click the magic link over to your left, above the calendar. You get friendly banter and comic previews and probably more stuff when I flesh it out more (it’s pretty new).
Also, I like waffles cold, with butter on them, sometimes.
