Happy Halloween! Here's a quick Halloween picture I did (it'll open in a new window). Features characters from Templar, Starslip, and Gunnerkrigg Court. (I don't like that cutesy "Guess who they're supposed to be!" thing.)

In "real life", I don't think any of the characters read webcomics. I think Nona would most likely go as Lyra from Golden Compass. The movie version better not suck.

Quick note- You may notice an "Extra Comics" link there. I'm still messing around with it, so expect it to be all wierd until at least the weekend. You can still hit the link at the header to see the 24 hour comic all in one place.

For now, my 24-hour comic, about Jackie and his dad, can be found here. It's just a temporary location though, I'm still trying to decide how to present it. I might just make a seperate series here on Webcomics Nation for Good Crook related short stories, since I have a couple of em in the works. I'll try to get that done, maybe on Thursday or something.

Guys who read Bukowski when they should be working. What are you gonna do?!

Anyway, I did 24 Hour Comics Day! At first I was worried that I had resigned myself to spending the whole Saturday in my room hunched over my desk, but it actually turned out to be really fun. I wrote a story about Jackie's dad. I'm not gonna post it here yet because I used part of an anecdote one of my teachers told me, and I need to ask his permission to use it. Hopefully I'll have it up on Wednesday. It came out pretty nice if I do say so myself.

Four new things in the gallery, including the teaser image that used to be up in the archives.

I plan on participating in 24-hour-comics day this Saturday, if I can get a handle on my homework and stuff. It will probably be Good Crook-related, and if so, I'll post it here. I'm also working on a short series of comic strips featuring just Nona, which I might put up in November. Anyway, look for an "Extra Comics" section soon.

I like this page.

Also, there's a new picture in the gallery. It came out pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.

If the characters look slightly different in the first few panels of today's comic, it's because I completely redrew them yesterday morning because I decided the writing there was dumb. I tried to draw Jackie like I used to. It was way harder then I thought it would be.

After the comic has been going up for a while I'm going to put that, and a few other pages, up in a category called "Deleted Scenes". Because there are a lot of pages I redraw or cut from the comic. And it might be ... sort of ... interesting? I don't know.

I am so proud of that drawing of Robert Deniro, for reals. Man, what a cool guy.

When my brother read this, he looked up at me and said with a big smile, "You based Rico on me, right?" My answer was "Well... I don't think so- actually, well, maybe." So let's just say for now that the answer is yes.

I'm gonna put up a cast page and maybe some other stuff at the end of the week.
