It's falling: with Style

I'm experimenting with various 'formats', trying to see what I get out of square vs. tall vs. wide format. Here's one that I think fits the format pretty well, but in general I find I need more vertical space (for speech bubbles) than horizontal space, since it's a single pane comic. I may some day play with multi-panel comics, but only if I can't figure out a way to make the joke work.

One thing I think I'm learning is that when it comes to speech, less is more. An excellent exception is this comic by Doug Savage, which he sets up beautifully.

Nailing those resolutions early

For those of you who are setting yourselves goals for the year, take the advice of the lemmings: choose something that is attainable. That way, once you hit it, you get a momentum boost, and and you get to set another goal.

Personally, I'm going to resolve not to jump off of anything that will probably kill me. I think that's attainable. Although negative goals should probably be avoided, because you won't really know if you've hit them until then end of the year.

We've all said it
