There is a guest comic by yours truly at Draw Until it’s funny. It was kinda fun to do a different kind of gag in a completely different style. Just in case you’re wondering, that’s not necessarily a DUIF style rendering of Tix and Robby.

Scooter Hughes of Life Under Construction offers coloring pages for people to color and send back to him. Just for grins I decided to do it analog (that’s geek for “traditional” media), so I printed it out and coloured it with markers. I have to say it looked awesome. Then I scanned it and it looked like something the cat drug in. Scanning is also an art form that I have yet to master. I tried to clean it up digitally after the fact and more or less failed. But I already suck, so I couldn’t make things too much worse.
Anyway, Scooter blogged my pathetic attempt on his site complete with a load of overblown artistic hype–the dude has potential either in politics or advertising!!–and he also posted a fun “Where’s Brandon” panel reminiscent of the “Where’s Waldo” books of yore. I thought I might have spotted Brandon wearing yellow somewhere in the middle of it, but my geekified eyes are just not up to the task of making a positive ID at that resolution.
So much for analog. I’m goin back to digital, especially now that I got a little Wacom Bamboo for Christmas. And I hereby promise to learn to make vector graphics with Inkscape, and will maybe blog some experiments so you can laugh and mock me more.
Draw Until It’s Funny ran a second guest post from yours truly this past weekend. The premise of the site is that you don’t plan the gag out ahead, you just start a line and keep going until something funny happens and then you stop. I think you could take that premise to an extreme. Virtually all DUIF’s are super minimalistic in style, and I enjoy drawing in that style. I really liked how the dog came out on my first DUIF. Just a few curved lines and you have a little dog that even has some personality. I thought the cat came out rather nicely in the current DUIF. Anyway, please go check it out, and if you are a comic author you can submit your own DUIF and they will post it.
