page 1 – It begins…
original comment, Feb 13, 2008
And my semi-almost-career as an internet cartoonist begins… with lots and lots of text. I don’t think I thought this through correctly.
I just want to say that I thought a no-aliens policy was a really original conceit for a sci-fi story. Then I saw Red Dwarf. Oh well…
(Historical Note: WOW this is weird to look at again all these years later. You can really tell I was still on a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy kick when I wrote these early pages, SOOOO much narration. When was the last time a current page of Far Out There had ANY narration, let alone whole pages like this?)
To be fair, having a large amount of narration does make a lot more sense when you’re introducing something than once it’s an established strip. And it fits in with the tone of a lot of scifi movies/shows that have a “narration intro” .
