So my last two posts have dealt with the newest addition to my home, and how I deal with such matters in my comic strip. I'm talking, of course, about Snowie the cat, who has complicated my life tremendously, and yet has given me loads of comic strip material by joining the cast of Knight and Day.
I also mentioned how fortuitous her arrival was, since I was actually in the early planning stages of introducing the idea of Iris wanting a cat. Of course, once I started asking for advice on facebook, everyone wanted Snowie in the strip, and so she was, the very next day. The only problem with that was, with people enjoying the strips, I felt obligated to do more. However, a cat like Snowie can't just magically appear in a comic strip. Besides, she deserves an introduction, and her own little storyline, doesn't she?
And so I find myself going back and forth between brand new strips featuring Snowie and brand new strips introducing the idea of Snowie, and then Snowie herself. Not to mention the backlog of other strips written and waiting to be drawn! So please bear with me. I'll post Snowie strips at the website, and on facebook, and post some pre Snowie strips here. Soon, I hope, I will have filled in the gaps, and will either post the storyline on a special webpage, or save it for the next comic strip collection.
Hopefully for you, the reader, each strip stands alone, and yet fits into the overall continuity. Kind of like reading someone's journal by flipping back and forth through the pages looking for juicy stuff. :0)
All the best, JOHN :0)
