The Official Short Comic thread of bitter tears and smiles.

Hello all;

So I was talking with Keffria and some others and we decided we were gonna try something...a short comic. We both realize we have never actually finished anything comic related before and to do something like this would give us that finished comic feeling. Don't you want that feeling as well, I don't think many of us are even near the ending of our webcomics, so come join us in this endeavor.

Here are the rules and regulations:
  • The short comic in question must be a MINIMUM of FIVE pages and no more than TEN pages.
  • You have until JUNE 30 AT 9PM EASTERN TIME to show all of us your fine pieces of work.
Not much rules as you can see, come up with any idea that you please and just draw. Don't bother asking if it can be in colour, or greyscale or sketchy...it's to your discretion, and let's unveil them on June 30th. We can use this thread to put up sneak previews, teasers and other miscellaneous chit chat.

One last thing, let me know if you're interested, I'll add you to the list below where truly everyone will know how awesome you are.

Actually, what size pages are we talking here? Are we going to adhere to a standard or is it more of a free choice of size? And do the pages have to be of uniform size?

Woot.

If I get passed the thinking about it stage and actually pick up a pencil, I'll let you know.

This for me, too. I want to participate (it would be weird if I didn't) but I need something dumb to draw, first.

I have something dumb to draw, but I'm going to be on vacation shortly until about June 28th, so I'd have to draw it while on vacation. (Nothing I've ever tried to get done on vacation has actually gotten done.) If I actually start it before I leave, I'll take the risk and join in.

I would waste good time seeing Captain Claude in sepia'd action.
