Yet another comic series, this one intended to fill in that big gap in the market of "things to read on Saturday." (I am also still working on Unity, and there'll still be occasional journal or random comics.)

This would be the most likely candidate.

I'm just sayin'.

I'm a glutton for punishment and disappointment, but I'm starting yet another new attempt at a comic (back to my serious, extended-narrative nature, á la Eaveston). Episodes will start running on the 13th (when the current sketchbook buffer runs out). One thing I'm trying hard to do is to avoid planning too much of the story ahead, which I think is where things always go awry for me (because I end up getting bored with all the stuff I've already planned out), so I'm doing whatever I can to avoid thinking of plotline things.

I do have some aspects of the environment worked out (I know some things about the main character, and generally what the environment is, and some of the early setting-establishment things which will happen to the main character) but I'm trying my hardest to not come up with anything else. And of course, the whole need to discover everything as I go along is the design of the comic.

Hopefully this one will last a while.

I'm not sure if this'll last but I've decided to take de^x/dx in a new-ish direction (or more accurately, not locking myself up in a single comic series). So now I have a home for the other little doodly ideas I have.

This decision was somewhat inspired by reading John K's weblog. I was thinking too hard about how Cherry and Jen keep on going off-model when I do draw them, and then John K has a whole bunch of rants about how one-offs and evolving characters work a lot better (with plenty of concrete evidence showing how this is true).

(This actually happened on August 4. I sketched it that day but didn't get around to inking it until just now.)

There's still some work to be done on the layout, but my new comic is now live, and updating Monday/Wednesday/Friday.

This was back in April, like on the 19th or something.

Last comic for a while. I swear. (These things are killing my wrists.)

A bit of an experiment this time...
