First joke ever!
This is the first Ed's R' Us gag ever! I used the "rake in the
face" back in 1994, while in Grade 6. I changed the punch line
a bit... but I felt that the start of the new year needed a little return
to my roots especially when I
have already used the 2nd gag ever.
As for me... as promised... Here's the goals. "Resolutions"
if you will...
- Update every day in 2009 (I haven't missed one yet... Like
a Marmot valley cousin, it's a sure thing)
- Get buffer (up to 4 weeks that's the goal)
- There is a new strip in the works (It'll be every other month,
and magazine published... Which ends up being a whole 6 strips a year)
- ECCC (Gotta
mail in my application... it's only been sitting on my desk for two
months...)
- Meet more cartoonists (Gotta mail in my application... it's
only been sitting on my desk for two months...)
- Act professional in all aspects of my work (Gotta mail in my
application... it's only been sitting on my desk for two months...)
- Produce one "non strip" thing a week (just experiment...
and here's number 1!)
Seven is a lucky number, so i'm going to end there.
I want to send out a big thanks to everyone who helped for the last
10 months!
- My loving girlfriend/editor... who is constantly bugging me to read
my stuff.
- Christina
Carr who taught me how to crack the whip on myself, and has always
been around when I needed her friendship.
- Jamie Bird who helped me get the site up and running as well as
his massive technical expertise
- Brad Guiger, The nicest
guy in webcomics. Who told me he liked my style back before it started
to get good.
- Samantha and
Matt, my first two peers
in the field of webcomics.
- Everyone who wrote to me, blogged about me, told your friends or
even just read the strip. Thank you all! Whether you laughed giggled
or groaned at my work, you're why I keep doing this!
Thank you and Have a happy new year...
Cheers and Jitters...
