Strange Things are Afoot at the Local Petsmart Dude

So the last few times Ronda and I have been to Petsmart I've hung out in the parking lot (which allows Ronda more time to give all of our hard-earned money to homeless kitties), but I digress. The last time I was waiting in the truck, two good looking young ladies (whom I presumed to be sisters) came out of the store, loaded up into the vehicle next to me, then proceeded to start making out. I was dialing the phone to call my buddy, so the next debate I had was, "look away? don't look away? what do I do? what's the protocol here? it's a parking lot?" Needless to say I decided to keep on calling my buddy, and ask him what he thought.

They drove away, and while my buddy laughed at my dilemma, another car pulled up, a mom and her young son jumped out. The son proceeded to stand in front of their car, pull his shirt over his head, while his mom took a picture....then they jumped back in the car and drove off. The hell??

So apparently strange things are afoot at the Petsmart.

Then this week, here we go again to the Petsmart, so this time I've got my camera phone ready. Sure enough, look what pulls up in the parking lot. This town is weird sometimes.

The InterWeb

Well, ladies and gentlemen, so begins another hobby for the world to see. It's my new webcomic called "THE INTERWEB".For the longest time I used to use photoshop to make some gag jokes, but it usually took far too much work to hunt down just the right pictures, make all the right edits, and so on. I always figured I didn't have enough talent to draw, so I eventually turned to the realm of animation, where I took pre-existing models, (typically from video games), posed them, made screen captures, manipulated them in Photoshop, then used Flash to animate them.

Well, after spending several months on my last cartoon, which was a resounding success in my book, I realized that the only way to maintain success on that level was to bust my butt animating for at most a 4 minute joke. Feh!

So I decided that I'd much rather go for quantity than quality, although I'd still like to maintain some level of quality if you know what I mean. So with that in mind, what you're looking at is my first attempt at my little gem of a web comic. Now, before you go thinking I've went and grown myself an ego....no, I don't anticipate this being anything more than a venue for some (hopefully) good jokes. I stress hopefully.

So come by once in a while. I don't plan on trying to sell you on the site here. I hope to update as fast as I can draw, and I hope to draw faster as I get better at drawing, inking, and coloring. I've only been drawing for two weeks, which is fairly obvious, but I think I've got a good idea here.
