New strip! Deary me!

Hello all!

I believe it's time for a new post! Things are getting busy right now at SCAD for me, but nothing I can't handle (assuming I don't goof off like I know I will). Right now I have a scratch board page, an acrylic landscape, some digital speech bubbles, a script submission packet for either Dark Horse or Fantagraphics and finally, a math test. I'm looking forward to doing the scratch board page tonight and tomorrow night, as I have a really cool idea! The submission packet will be a plot synopsis for a story called "Hobgoblin" which is based on the ale of the same name! It's a little more serious than I usually write, so I'm giving it a more lighthearted angle right now. The math test? Feh.

Comixtravaganza has been canceled for this quarter, so my page for that is on hold. I'm going to finish it, but it'll just be for fun and will probably just sit in the vaults for a while. As far as Andy strips go, I'm not submitting any more for this quarter, as I've submitted enough for it to run until Christmas break (assuming there's room for me every time!).

Here is this week's strip! It's getting exciting now! I just introduced Mel into the story. For those who are unfamiliar with the original "run" of Andy The Retard, Mel was Andy's 26 year old girlfriend. Since the storyline started over, she's no longer his girlfriend. Will he get the girl AGAIN? A lot of people see her and think she's Bailey, my Gee-Eff, but I can assure you all, that's not so. I created her long before I met Bailey! Anywho:
SHOT DOWN


Also, this just popped into my head. I claimed once that Andy's single green eye in in homage to Earthworm Jim. That's a lie. The single green eye came from when I first started sketching Andy properly, I drew his eye too small, and it looked like an iris.

Don't get me wrong, though. EWJ was awesome.
