Why Is Everyone Yelling at Me?
Apr24
I’ve been yelled at after getting hurt by my own hand by people. So I guess this comes from a true place.
Back to the Drawing Board
Apr25
The drawing board is a good place to be. I spend about 8 hours a day there.
Stationary that doesn’t remain stationary

The middle two panels are my favorite joke in the comic.

THE EPILOGUE (kind of). GUYS, this is the LAST WEEK for new pages for Spry Adventure Comics for a while! I have a few bits and baubles planned for May before I show you the next comic! I am bewildered[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Originally there was a lot of snow coming out when Flip opened the door, but I actually had no idea how to draw it, and since the rain at the end of last chapter came out kind of bad, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Follow Your Dreams (or rip off someone else’s)

This last panel was very difficult to layout. It’s kind of what I wanted.

Today I finished the cover for this issue, and I think it’s REALLY COOL, but you’re welcome to disagree! (on Monday when I post it.)
The End is a Beginning

And then they all sat down and read. Thank you so much for reading my first graphic novel! I really mean that. It seriously means the world to me. I have a lot more comics coming up soon, including a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Should have posted this last Monday, but I had a bunch of freelance that I should have done a while ago, and I figured it was the perfect time to take a break! We’re going down to four updates a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
OK, pardon some possible growing pains as my comic is getting a format change. Besides being in ~*color*~ this new chapter is also in a different format. Hopefully the images won’t be too stretched or garbled and you will be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Don’t be too excited about what he’s going to admit. You already know what happened. If not this comic is about to become INCREDIBLY confusing.
REMINDER: Despite what Scum told him to calm him down, Spry did almost die jumping off of that roof.
OK, I have had like six people need what happened in the graphic novel explained to them, and I realize it’s because I didn’t frame the scene of Scum dropping the hammer in an intellegent way. Luckily I have a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Technical babble: Every time I write a draft I change stuff. I do several drafts, usually three in just the writing stage, and then I letter my comic with the script. While I’m drawing and coloring my comic, if I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have a real fear of being mutilated and no one noticing.
This is advice that seems obvious to most people, but I really wish someone would have told it to me when I was 13. Getting up the nerve to ask someone out is difficult but if you don’t want to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My politically charged rant about radiator heat.
Jan06
It’s negative 50 degrees outside today and I’ve definitely heard these kinds of noises.
All the best exclamations have a hard I sound in them.
And that’s another comic! I really hope you enjoyed it. I’ll be back the 20th to start COSMIC FRACAS, the first story that doesn’t take place in Pilotside proper. It’s a sci fi serial, and I’m going to guess that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything in the last month and didn’t bother informing you it was going to happen or why it was going to happen. My wife and I are going to be moving across the country shortly,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sorry about the hiatus – I was moving and settling in. I’m now in southern United States, a place I never, ever thought I’d live.
I’m moving into a two update a week schedule (the T-days) until I have a much larger buffer than I have now (currently 0 pages)
I’m allowed to make a The Beatles reference sometimes if I feel like it, get off my back.
I think I’ve been making my comic actively for 3 years today (I didn’t start posting until July 3rd though), and I’ve made a LOT of pages. I think this is something like page #550 I’ve done total, including covers[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I need a team of people to yell at me to update my comic on time.
So, I’m gonna try transferring this blog over to a new hosting service, so if the entire site goes down next week and I have to re-upload every single thing, that’s why. I’ll be back with Cosmic Fracas in a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Continue on to Chapter 3 And that’s this issue! Thank you so much for reading! I will be back on November 6th with issue 3. It’s very possible Issue 3 will be ready for purchase before it even goes up[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Happy new year, from all of us (just me) at The Pilotside Chronicle. You can purchase this issue now if you would like!
Now that the new year is out of the way, you can start planning on how you’re going to celebrate my birthday next Friday. You can purchase this issue now if you would like!

Characters: Flip Larsen, Jessica Bottle, Lori Pointilleux, Scum Craply, Shelley Talora, Spry VanSusser
Glowing Hearts, and every comic on this site, is a spin-off of a comic I’m never going to show you that I did almost a decade ago. The story itself wound up being too close to several other watershed comic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Eventually going to hit a page where I have to tag 16 characters, and I’m not looking forward to it.
I might be jumping the gun just a touch on this, as I have a LOT of work to do on the comic still, but I believe I should be able to start posting this… NOW! Please note: I have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Reminder Prevenge is technically just regular murder

Writing a comic and passing it off to someone else to draw is an absolutely wild concept to me, because the text in this page was being changed up to the last step before publishing it.
Are you sure though?

An aspect about how I write my comic that could, in no way, come through in the text is that sometimes music is playing in the background that I’m not acknowledging in the comic, and in this specific page the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Can I borrow and possibly destroy your phone?

Sometimes I’ll use 3D models to make sure the proportions in my comic are correct and what I’ve learned from this is that foreshortening looks fake, even in real life.
A handful of chapters have titles with “Dance” in them to tie them together as a solid block of time. I originally tried to use 5 song titles with “Party” in them, but couldn’t find enough that were thematically appropriate[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

There’s something that looks like a typo here but isn’t. So just breeze on by.
I suffer from a low grade kind of insomnia. On a good day I probably sleep about 4.5 hours. Today I got maybe 1.5 hours of incredibly unrestful sleep. That’s why I didn’t feel like color correcting the indexed version[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The rules of PG-13 state I get one. I also get a set of bare breasts but we’ll see.
But this town is lousy with rowdy teens!

Thank you for reading this chapter. I’ll be back next month some time with the next one. I’ll have little bits and baubles for you in the mean time, or, possibly, I won’t. Comics is work.
It was this or be nice!

This is referencing something from the start of this chunk of chapters. Coincidentally, perhaps from the segment that, if I were making this to be posted all at once, would have been spread out over more space. If I reconfigure[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

In case people are confused: You’re NOT seeing the whole conversation here. I have an idea about the conversation they’re coming from, but it’s not the meat of what you need to hear. It’s like you’re ping-ponging between conversations.

I don’t remember if I specifically went out of my way to avoid drawing every single character in a lot of panels, but if I did I’m very smart.
How do you pronounce “catch?” because I started making a pun for this page title, and realize I pronounce it three different ways and it made it impossible.
A peak behind the curtain: This and the next two panels were once the same page, but I’m trying to choke my pages with less word bubbles for clarity’s sake, even if it means having to do more drawings. The[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I’ve had some form of insomnia or another since I was at least 3 so all of my characters have weird sleeping habits.

You can take one look at this site and know I don’t know how to program, so I don’t know if this is actually good.
Relieved that people on social media exclusively gave me softball questions with regards to mentioning programming in the last page.
