Strip Examples

However, all this pseudo-intellectual waffling [a common human failing within many blogs, and this one is no exception, Dear Reader!] can account for nothing if the cartoonist/author simply cannot deliver the desired 'goods', which means the finished product, of course. In our case, the desired effect is a tangible, readable comic strip that hopefully can encapsulate the surreal comedy I am trying to put accross:

No more slavering or havering, time to actually show the finished results:

The above examples represent a pretty accurate cross-section of the strip's comedy aspirations and intentions: basically, the format is extremely open-ended and loose, and although the bulk of the scenes are set within 'domestic' downtown NYC, the strip can, and  often  does, take off into surrealistic flights of fancy, wherever the cartoonist's mood seems appropriate at any given time.

It is important, however, to have a unifying set of themes with recognizable, recurring characters that can re-appear within instantly-recognizable situations, and many of the gag ideas return to the same 'familiar' settings.

I do love chucking in some totally unexpected, totally unrelated subject on occassion, however, it has to be said.
