Hi, this is the artist and writer of the comic strip. Your thoughts and feedback on how the strip is going would be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
-Tom Aschenbach
It’s good stuff. I like the alienation of Covid-19, your weird UFO take, & the world. Smack dab art!! and someday I may rip w/attribution maybe even your Saturn. Thanks.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback!
The appreciation is all mine. A little rough entering the Eribani Star System with the cross hatch marks (?) foreground. No big loss at all. Maybe in fact you should do more of that else where or something like it. But for sure, what you’re doing is top grade by me. And I’m delighted at your target. It’s wide enough for now. I think you’re right you gotta start with those who will look at your art and color and go “Wow” with innocence and not skeptically… like bitter crap “Well, I’ve seen better.” Right now you stand on your own just fine. Yeah I’m sure you will get better. I can’t wait to see. Tim, and yes my initial are WTF, but I go by my middle name.
“Uncertainty is not an ignoble condition.” A line from a Brian Friel play relevant to your “therefore I am” episode.
Anybody born in a town named Knockmoyle has a great start. “Where you from?”
“Knockmoyle.”
“Wow..That’s the town where the only thing that’s open is nothing?”
“That’s not true. We have a post office, a church, and public house.”
“What about COVID-19?”
“The post office is open.”
I’m focusing this year on making the comic strip more cinematic. And I also want to explore more of the ship. So far, I’ve shown the bridge a lot, sick bay a few times, and not much more.
Thanks, everyone, for continuing to read the comic.
