Title: Fuzzy things, doing strange things...with ketchup? (My Comic)
Post by: iglidante on 28 Sep 2009, 08:52
I finally worked myself up enough to start writing/drawing a webcomic I'd been meaning to make for a while now. It's called Flying Man and Friends, and you can find it here (http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com), if you'd like to take a look.

But of course, I'm not going to force you guys to click and click. I'll post a couple of strips, to give you an idea.

I'm really trying to do something different here. It's sort of a cross between "happy, cheerful, and bright" and "strange, surreal, and confusing." And hopefully interesting, too.

There are currently 20 comics on the site, and I have 14 more ready and waiting (so, I already passed Jeph's mythical 33). I'm writing and drawing more of them whenever I get a chance. The two I posted are from early on in the strip (#4 and #2 respectively).

In this strip, we deal with the issue of a rather large nugget of gold and its origin:

I'm not a big fan of comics but this made me giggle :) It maybe should have gone in the stickied thread at the top of the board though (not sure if there's a hard and fast rule).

Hey, thanks! :)  I wasn't really sure about the stickied thread versus new thread either, because I noticed that people had kind of done both in the past.

Yeah, things don't scroll in here nearly as fast as some other forums.

I'm really happy with my latest two strips: today's (http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=235) and Friday's (http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=234). Any thoughts?

I just wanted to post an update, because I've been improving the art in the strip gradually, and I'm really happy with the most recent one:

I've been doing a ton of work on FMAF lately (83rd strip just went up today (http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=360)). I thought I'd post something new to give you a look at what's going on:

Today, I hit 100 strips, and I wanted to share the milestone with you guys (http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=395). The strip is enormous. It's the biggest one I've ever posted.

I've said this before but your comic is so cute it makes me squee. It's a shame you've had to take a break but come back to it!

Aw...well, I did do a new comic yesterday (I want to keep them coming at least every now and then, even if I can't hold to 3x a week like I was doing)

I present you with...Dollars for Dreams (http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=427)!

I try to keep my sodium intake down to a minimum, but it's pretty much impossible. This struggle has inspired a comic I like to call..."The Sodium (http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=431)."
