What are these cruddy little strips, yo?

You may have noticed that I've started posting some strips lately. They are created particularly fast, very little editing (content or visuals). I just need something creative and simple to post on the blog. There's a new one posted each Mon/Wed/Fri.

These little Gobnob strips are done eight at a time, all on a single 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. The characters are old ones from previous strips and comics: Herman, the bald kid, Julie the girl with the bowl-cut, and Fred the alien. I'm sure other characters will creep in at some point.

These strips are hardly character driven. It's usually just some hateful thing I want to say. You can expect them regularly, just don't expect much.

Coming off of a two-year stint as Department Chair, I'm anxious to get back into the creative swing of things. I was having a tough time diving right back into The Moonshine Murders, though. Very daunting and a bit too heavy for my mindset right now. I'll be back into that story by Winter break, though. Hopefully with 2 new chapters by April.

I'm still writing that super-long story with my long-time collaborator Scott. It's coming along quite nicely, but there aren't really any visuals to share with you yet. More news after the first of the year, I'm sure.
