The Ongoing History of Short-Circuited
Here it is, the post i’ve long procrastinated.
So after many days of hard work, I’ve finally finished the first panel of the first comic of what will become the short-circuited series. As soon as I make some finishing touches, I’m going to trace my sketch, scan it, and send it over to Sam for some inking and maybe colouring.
The idea of Short-Circuited started some time towards the end of the second school term when the bunch of us got together to study for our finals. (Naturally, our productivity left a lot to be desired.) I believe it was Jon who first brought up the idea of starting up a web comic. We were no strangers to the world of web comics as we’ve all visited these websites frequently. (peticularly Penny-Arcade, which I’ll admit has a heavy pressence in my comics) Since Sam refused to acknowledge that he has the artistic potential to take up the challenge, I would take his honourable place. The night before my Calculus final, the very first sketch was created on the back of my calculus notes. It a series of conversations between Sam, Jon, and an employee of Blizzard Entertainment. A week later on the night before my anthropology final, the second sketch was made featuring Sam and Mellisa Melissa, and with some rather violent results.
Surprisingly, I failed 2 courses that term.
