STRIPS STRIPPED: Blood/Sugar 2016

INsights: whoops. independence interrupted.I managed to forget about this all day. wow. Had planned to do a lot today. but waking up to the fact that it was a holiday totally derailed me. as did the stunning neck pain that plagued nearly every moment of the day. anyway. I wrote up a silly script about blood donation a couple days ago, and was sure it was the way to go on Friday. But since I forgot to make the strip all day, I didn’t want to tackle complicated art (yet again) here at the end. it had to be quick and and it had to be simple. (sorry?)

Sooo,
the idea is simply “generic comic strip formula”. Everyone does these. In web comics. I think. Did i do one already? yechthgh. Basically the symbols mean ”setting the scene”,then “dynamic question”, followed with ”Extreme answer”, and ending with “tear drop remorse.” Or perhaps a tear drop of joy. I don’t know. Nor do I know that this is a formula i have ever followed in any of the strips… but it seemed to be clearly “THE FORMULA,” As I lay in bed wondering if i should just accept my first missed posting, and do it in the morning. In fact, i should probably rename it…

NO!

It could also be read many ways. which is something i strive for. though maybe this is too open. Eh, but you could read it as “make a movie. but why…? I know! for the tears!”. or any other number of things i’m sure. “the clapboard will break my fingers! why do i have have fingers if there are no words in the bubble? SHIT! My spittle is frozen and large”.

The symbols, by the way by way the, ”$#@!” are simply me hitting shift-4321 like a lazy ass. But then I look at them and see four words clearly represented. ie, “money number at fuck”. which made a lot more cosmic sense before I actually typed those words out. hmmm. eh. it is late and i’m rather exhausted. For some reason it was rebounding in my head as some sort of “it’s all about the number of dollars generated at that moment of spectacular/filthy/memorable humor.” eh. hmm. it also kinda looks like “SHaT”. so it is also win-win.

well. it’s a late night rushed strip. i’d apologize if i was privately so proud of my late night rushed strip-fu.
