“Why I Suck So Bad”

When I signed up for the second round of Comic Rehab (yes, I’m that bad), I wanted to be a team player.

So I did some quick sketchy strips about my failings as a comic artist.  Being known as the guy behind QuickDraw, these are even quicker and faster. I can do a handful in an afternoon. (Heck, you could too!)

I think people liked these more than some of the more polished and rehearsed comics.  I added a little spot color with the help the Our Books team (Prom Vorleak in this case) just to make them a little different. Future strips may just be black and white, ballpoint or even chalk. Whatever and wherever I can do it.

And getting your flaws, apprehensions and worries articulated helps to get them out of your system. Don’t worry, I’m not on a downward spiral. Human frailty is one of the great sources of humor. And if I don’t suck too bad, maybe these will garner a laugh.

Why I Suck So Bad #21: What The Suck

When I’m stumped for an idea, that’s when the comic is about MAKING the comic. And I”m not the only one who’s done this, no?
