Chief Inspector Viertewand solved the case, but he’s a cheater who can speak in hypertext. Visit my Glimbit Comics page on Facebook to see designs and rough pencil drawings from this comic.

Love. Exciting and new.

This was inspired by two Sea World employees being interviewed on the Today Show. They couldn’t stop talking over each other and each time they’d coyly say, “go ahead.” Blush and giggle.

Sometimes, your first kiss with someone isn’t the perfect and romantic moment you hope for.

I’m a self-handicapper. (Chances are, you are too.) How can I possibly come up with original ideas for this comic when I’m exposed to so much media? It’s the Internet’s fault, really. I can’t make comics, I haven’t networked with enough comics people. And did you see the amateurish drawing in this one? I’m still exploring my style. And my old faithful: I’ll launch this project next month.

I even self-handicapped in my previous post! “This is a personal webcomic sandbox…” so I’m not really trying to make good comics. I’m just playing.

I’m not the fail. I’m tripped by something outside of my control. My ego remains whole and intact!

“It’s like the line from the old Brando movie ‘On the Waterfront’: ‘I coulda been a contender,’ ” Dr. Hirt said. “In the long term, that may be easier to live with for some people than to know that they did their very best and failed.”

Despite my continuing failure at generating good ideas, I continue!

Gah, I did it again.

Says Samuel Johnson:

“Nothing is more despicable than the old age of a passionate man. When the vigour of youth fails him, and his amusements pall with frequent repetition, his occasional rage sinks by decay of strength into peevishness; that peevishness, for want of novelty and variety, becomes habitual; the world falls off from around him, and he is left, as Homer expresses it, to devour his own heart in solitude and contempt.”

Secret: I don’t plan on getting old. I’m eating vats of fatty acids, sleeping upside-down and having my blood transfused weekly, Swiss clinic-style. Gonna live forev-vaaa, just like Liam says.

Glimbit comics activate! This is a personal webcomic sandbox, a place to work out ideas, try new art styles. It’s something I should have started a long time ago, back when I was strutting.
