Before music was comics

I didn't blog last night but I should have. I was doodling at work and got it into my wacky head that I should start drawing again. I used to draw quite a bit with dreams of being a cartoonist. I had a few ideas for some comic strips a while back, but got discouraged because, although some people have told me I draw well, I don't draw as well as I'd like to. I was thinking about it yesterday, and got the idea of drawing a comic strip that has an all robot cast of characters. Why? Because robots are not as hard to draw as people. Robots aren't real, so they can look like whatever you want. If your hands look funky (and my hands always look funky), just say that robots have funky hands! So the idea is a comic strip with robots doing human things; like a strip written for human characters, but the characters are all robots. I would call it Robots Are Easy.

While we're talking comics, a few years ago I actually produced a few strips for a project I call Oddities. I posted them on Myspace (this was back when Myspace was the popular hang out) and asked for feedback. I got none, so lost the motivation to continue. The thing is, I really enjoyed making them, and think I came up with something that has some potential for an audience with an appreciation for the bizarre. I kind of want to start it up again.
