A Date in Time and Space

(May 14, 2010)

Here’s the first page of the comic I’ve been working on based on a question I asked Jen a couple of months ago – If we could go on a date anywhere in time and space, where would she want to go? [Which is obviously influenced by all the Doctor Who I’ve been watching].

Anyhow, I had wanted to draw the comic as a present for her for awhile, but I was wrapping up Americus and then some other things got in the way. I thought it would be a fun project to do to keep my drawing muscles exercised while I work on odds and ends and brainstorm on what my next project should be.

Some notes: I decided to keep it simple and keep it on a 9 panel grid and just kind of write it as I draw it, with key plot points in mind. This has been fun, as I’m just trying to fit in gags when I think of them, but also a little annoying because I think the pacing is a little weird, as I think you can tell in this first page.

Anyhow, it’s coming along slower than I want, but I’ll be posting the rest of it as I finish it up. It was originally supposed to be like 2-3 pages, but now I think it’s going to be like 5-6 pages.
