EVERYTHING'S PORN

I learn by doing.

I adore comics; I have my own brainchild, Diaperman, on hiatus while I save up money to produce it. The Twilight Detective Agency, which I co-create with Mike Rieger. That's being re-written as we figure out what format we want it in.

Mike and I actually had a comic in mind a few years back, a little strip thing we were calling "Mike & Michael." It was basically us. Because the lives we live in our in-head commentaries and circle of bizarre observations is comicworthy.

I took it a step further and created this strip, "Everything's Porn." Which basically, as Mike puts it, sums up my attitude towards all popular media. Which I can't deny.

So here we have the first strip. I can't promise it will be regular, but I will be producing them from time to time to keep practicing my writing in panel format, in short joke-spurts (ew!), and refining that skill by doing.

Here's the premise as I wrote it. Comments are welcome, as are criticisms.

Cheers!

It’s a “review” comic of pop culture; tv shows, video games, movies, cartoons. We often see the sexual imagination of Michael, and what he sees when he looks at the media du jour; Mike is the one who points out that his friend and roommate is, in fact, obsessed in very sarcastic or ranty ways. Humour is dry or sharp, depending on the mood.

These are two very 21st century geeks (but not nerds) who are savvy about the world and whatnot but can still sometimes be squicked by just how far each other can go with their viewpoints on things.
