I am told that I should write a little something for the reader to read when they are done reading what I have written. A lot of people write blogs to accompany their web-comics. Sometimes they are informative essays on the ins and outs of web-comic and graphic novel production. Sometimes they offer interesting incites into the creator’s life both as it pertains to the making of that day’s page, and about their lives in general. I enjoy reading both of these formats of web-comic accoutrement and would love to provide a useful and insightful lesson every week or a window into the day to day life of the creator but I sadly cannot.
I’m in no shape to offer advice on any aspect of the creation of web-comics or comic books or any type of anything that has to do with anything creative or otherwise as I am making it all up as I go along. Probably the biggest hindrance to me giving advice is that I hate getting advice because everyone, myself included, is always wrong. I prefer instead, to experience first hand every mistake that one could make when they set out to do… well, anything really. In fact, the only advice I could give anyone is that nobody knows what their talking about because every situation is unique so it’s best that they figure it out for themselves, whatever IT is. Also, if you prepare your lunch the night before, your mornings will be a lot easier.
The second feasible option is to write… y’know what? I’m going to end this here and address why I can’t deliver the second option next week. I’m sure you’ll be beside yourself with anticipation. I wish I could say that my intention is was to end this with a cliff hanger, the truth is that it’s late and I need to make my lunch.
EDIT: Oh yeah, VOTE!
So, Uh, what is for lunch?
If you must know, what I made was turkey on a hard roll with provolone cheese, mayo and fresh ground pepper. What I ate was a late afternoon business lunch of a steak panini followed by a cookie pie with Harpoon IPA for the duration.
You never make your lunch the night before. That happened like once. Also, where’s my cookie pie?
Listen lady, I don’t know who you are or why you think you would know anything about it but I make my lunch the night before more times then you think. But that’s beside the point, my point is that one of the few pieces of advice that I feel comfortable doling out it that it is always a good idea to make your lunch the night before as it’s one less thing to do in the morning, that doesn’t mean that I always follow my own advice. There is in fact a whole group of people that always seem to offering up advice that they don’t follow, we call these people baby boomers.
