Something like this is the next snippet of The Prime Derivative storyline...

Just drawing basically - some stuff from before (summer?).

I did a comic in law school I called where the hell are the singing cats? (I stole the title from Paul Newman's exclamation from the audience of the first David Letterman show on CBS) which I continued to create after graduating from school. At first I mailed copies to friends but in early 1996 I started posting them on a geocities site which is gone but here's the Wayback Machine link to it. (That site is lost -- although I suppose it might be on the Wayback machine somewhere.) Later I grabbed the tannline.com domain and used it for various things including posting singing cats comics. Here's a "history" of the comic I wrote up at that point and here's a breakdown of where the singing cats comic appeared.
The ones I did in lawschool hold up (for me) in a way - they're more bittersweet (although they trended towards sarcasm as I worked on it) but the ones I did afterwards largely don't really -- as they're almost all incredibly topical (and so kind of meaningless today) and often don't have much going for them other than a sneerful scattershot of sarcasm.

You get the webcomic merit badge Gabba Gabba Hey for joining a collective. Hey I get this one too - I was part of Alternative Brand Studios (or Altbrand as it was known as) back in the 1999-02 years (that might be stretching the formal existence of Altbrand a bit). All of us met making Halloween cross-over comics for the Fright Night Project, which was for several years an annual webcomic tradition. (I ran Fright Night for most of its lifetime too - taking over from Terrence Marks who started it).

Okay I get this merit badge -- I did a few guest comics for others back in the last century. The main two I remember (fondly) are one for Chopping Block and one for GPF.
I just found the GPF one -- it was a joke about patents! Ha, perfect for GPF. And jokes about patents are just as relevant today as they were in 2002.
(Can't find the Chopping Block one on google though...)

I'm still drawing this very silly pop culture parody comic -- I think I'll try to stick to black and white. This one, however, relied on the A Team van for the joke so I did a second version with a quick flat coloring to make sure no one missed the reference.

A few of many sketches I finished with an ink wash. They were originally part of a comic I worked on in 2002 (pretty sure about the timing of it). Always liked the look but it didn't work at all with the story I drew them for - maybe if I had a tale that fit the feeling this kind of rough wash creates I could do more of this again.

Brainstorming titles - I kind of like The Prime Derivative but maybe something else will occur to me. Sketching out the two main characters repeatedly now - trying to work out how to do the art for this thing.
