Made a comic! It's the first one...



I also made a video, recording my screen. This will be a regular practice, as to document my development.

Now about this comic...

I sport myself as a fairly traditional Conservative. I believe in little government involvement in my everyday life. That almost goes against what most "Conservatives" are for these days. Gay marriage for instance. I feel the government restricting that freedom is totally left-wing ideals, but it just isn't for some reason.

So I have an open mind. People like Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh made me very embarrassed to admit I'm a right-winger. I hate those guys...

But I'm comfortable making fun of the Republicans. Mostly because I can laugh, but also because I have the strange ability to see when people are being really stupid. Crazy.

I definitely felt something should be done about heath care. I mostly agree with everything I've read about the new bill. I'm fine with it, I guess... Why can't our political system go back to normal?

I'm not sure how much sense this post makes, due to poor organization... Basically what I'm trying to say is while being a Conservative, I don't associate myself with many of the contemporary ones. I made this comic to make fun of Conservatives, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Pulp.

Alright. I've made a few decisions over the past 5 minutes. Yes. That's a lot of time. I've got the strip's name, I've got my focus, and I've got everything I need to research.

During this little "research" adventure (project sounds too boring) I'm of course going to go along with the stream of things so I can learn as I go. I've already learned a lot from reading Penny Arcade's newest book, which I applied to my drawing to the left.

If you haven't gathered already, the web comic I will be working on will be called Pulp. Three Reasons

1. The internet is like one giant cup of orange juice. It goes down smooth, it comes from concentrate, and there is a hell of a lot of crap just floating around in it. This is only adding to the crap.

2. It's going to be really low quality.

3. I like pulp in my orange juice...

I need to focus on something central, which is that of Pop Culture. Pulp fictiony once again. GET IT?! It's a joke... 'Cuz the world, it's, it's, like... pulp fiction deal with... and like, the world and, and pop culture it's, it's like... haha, yeah. You get it...

By the way, when I say "pulp fiction" I'm not talking about the movie...

For my research into the web comic world, I've been reading Penny Arcade's newest book, and another book on the history of Blogging. This is going to be fun.

Welcome.

That is about the best webcomic ever...

Okay, so I'm exaggerating, but imagine if you could make a living off doing cool things like that. Wouldn't that kick some serious butt? That's what I want to do. I want to be able to make a living of internet adventures. No, not those kind of adventures. More like traveling down the venues provided by the internet.

It started a long time ago when I stumbled upon Homestarrunner.com. I was enthralled with the amazing animation, the humor, and the fact that the makers were making a living off of it.

I spent the next few years teaching myself Macromedia and Adobe Flash. Currently, I've been animating for about 5 years. I've got my own website (Devilishlaugh.com) and I've had a couple of "hits," which didn't last that long. It's the internet after all.

I've tried a couple webcomics here and there, but never was able to commit. Nows my time... Maybe.
