November 1st Update
Well, October was a freakin' doozie. Holy cow. Started off with the Stumptown comics fest, during which I had wayyyy too much fun, but have already blogged about it. Then I gave away my bed and furniture and packed everything I own, and floated east. Just traveling. A brief visit to my 2-month-old step-nephew (and his parents) in Providence RI, and now for a bit in Philadelphia.
I was in Northampton/Amherst MA for a day with Anya (during which I oddly bumped into Rich Stevens), and here is a pic she took of me by the Montague Bookmill (yes, it is as cool as all that).
Anyhow. So all is well. Keeping up on Little Dee and freelance work while on the road. My brother wrote and is helping me record a version of the Little Dee Sea Shanty "We Rogues of Wool." Life is fun.
So, this month's comic is a 4 page story called "Mariana 1/365." It came about because I have been wanting to do a silent comic for a while, and it's been a struggle because there are few silent comics I really enjoy. And then I was corresponding with Marianna (she spells it with two "n"s), and I quoted wikipedia about Tennyson's poem entitled "Mariana". And the idea popped into me of a "day in the life."
Oh, and the pages looked pretty, so they're for sale for $100 apiece (links at the bottom of each page)
Here is a link to the comic: Mariana 1/365 and it's linked, as per usual, off of the Water Street page.
Spoiler!: I'm not usually one for gimmicks, but i kinda used one in this comic, and it's subtle enough that's I'm pleased. Each panel of the comic is one hour later, and so I shaped each panel to be the hour of the day: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. (24 hour "military" time). I thought I'd post about it after you've all read it, so that those who notice can have that pleasure of self-discovery. :)
