The Dregs #63

First of all, I'm happy because I was proactive enough to draw another episode the week I drew the last one. But this was an old script that I found as I was going through an old sketch book. I couldn't believe I never used it, but better late than never, right?

On a technical note, I am really happy with the way things are looking. Hands, angles, line work, etc. The only thing that I think is a little tough is the flow - going from left to right and then down to the middle row and not top then middle then right. But I don't think it'll be all that difficult to figure out. I just want it to be seamless. It's a comic strip and not meant to be difficult to read, so I hope it doesn't come off as that.

Cheers!

To quote my inner Biff Tannen, "Well, looky what we have here...". Bolek, the man with the best hair in cartoons, drops some philosophy/theology on your asses! And Peg has multiple facial expressions! I was sure her face was going to crumble when she squinted, but she's a tough old broad and doesn't take crap from cartoonists like me (or so she tells me). Now that we have a new character, albeit, possibly an unrelatable one, but I'm excited about the possiblilities and I already have some ideas for him in future episodes.

I hope you're all enjoying the increasing detail that's going into these newer episodes. I guess I feel like I have to mention it as a pat on the back to myself because, not only do I love how they're coming together and really accenting the characters and overall style of the comic, but (believe it or not) it takes a long time to do if they're not going to look like shit. So, love it. I said LOVE IT!

Cheers.

The Dregs #54

So, it's been 2 months since my last Dregs post. Believe it or not, cartoonist writer's block had struck again and I was helpless against it. Well, maybe not the helpless part, but I couldn't come up with anything funny. Thankfully, that has passed and I have a few more funny ideas I plan to draw this week before I have to come up with something new again. Let's hope this creative streak lasts!

As for this week's strip, I've introduced a new character named "Bolek". He's a one eyed, philosophical/brooding Polish character that, as far as we know, doesn't speak English (there will be translations). He doesn't have any lines this week, but that will soon change. I hope you like him.

Anyway, I hope you like this episode.

Cheers.
