Retro Comic: Message in a Bottle
As promised, here’s a new “old” comic strip! It’s from 2007, and actually is one of the very first strips I drew, if I recall correctly. One thing that’s immediately apparent about these early strips is the overabundance of text boxes accompanying the images. I used to have them in all of my comics actually, probably heavily influenced by A Softer World, but eventually someone told me to “show, don’t tell” instead.
Other things I remember about this comic: The title, and quite possibly the idea, came from playing “Message in a Bottle” by The Police in Guitar Hero 2. Also, the transparent bottle glass in the first panel took me forever to make. Oh, and the comic is of course entirely auto-biographical, hah!
Wow that is retro xD Least he got back one bit of human contact =P
I remember this one! From way back when.
And I like it! :-)
It makes me sad though.
You’re just baiting the “loneliness” responder with that “recieved,” aren’t you?
I have no idea what you’re talking about. :P
(But yeah, I always get that word wrong on my first try!)
I find it funny how it’s spelled “misspelled” and not “missspelled”. Crazy english language.
English I mean!
