The States and the Territories

I nearly poohed my pants laughing when I saw this one from John Allison.
Help. I’m hooked on soap operas. But they’re comic soap operas. I shouldn’t be reading them, but I do anyway.

To their credit, they *produce* a color strip on a daily basis. Can any of us claim the same?
Questionable Content: Kind of like ‘Friends’ but with references to indie-pop. Jeph Jacques.
Scary Go Round: John Allison draws an alternate universe populated almost entirely with pretty girls.

There are worse vices I suppose.

“Sorry“

This Illustration Friday comic was pretty simple. Everyone has regrets. It’s a little tricky to visualise them though.

I wrote the text at 7am, and finished at 11:30 on May 22.

I enjoy drawing and reading comics, but they don’t make me a living. They always seem to be ‘in the margins’ of my paying work.

Usually I can draw a page in under an hour, but the translation added a little bit of complication.
My written Khmer is pretty lame, and now it’s here for all the world to see! I may edit this a bit later.

So what is this “Illustration Friday” thing anyway?
