“Blood/Sugar 2016″ is the currently running strip. It is a fairly serious scifi fantasy story, with several interlocking stories, which will be compiled into a printed book at the end of 2010. This site offers you a chance see how it is created, and offer any criticism/support you think is needed.
If you look back before BloodSugar’s official start, you’ll find a previous attempt at the story, which fell off the rails (I had story ideas, but was created each comic off the cuff. and it “went weird” pretty quickly). The official run of 2010 is based on a full script I’ve worked out, so that it will stay on track. But i didn’t see any reason to delete the old failed attempt. bandwidth and bits are cheap.
If you look even further back, you’ll find the first web strip experiment which inspired this site. “Vitreous Humor” was an experiment in abstract comedy. Back in 2003 I was posting a lot on the fast-forward film site, and thought it’d be fun to tackle a strip. So i wrote 30 strips, and drew the first 15 diligently, daily, as January 2003 rolled out. Then I was distracted and dropped the project for a few years. In 2008, I rebooted the project as a trick to structure my free time around creative pursuits. I quite my job during this time and started working on comics full time. Which lasted about 6 months. When I started another job, it was difficult to maintain the regular roll out (and I was little discouraged by some of the sub par artwork and gags). It seemed like the experiment had played out, and I clearly wasn’t that funny. So the experiment is on hold. But will like return after BloodSugar has played out.
