Yeah, I've got a two-page JAQ outline that I wrote out after the first few comics. Maybe I'll post it at some point in the future after I finish the series. The only downside to my outline is that I'm trying to keep JAQ at exactly 100 comics, so occasionally I lose the freedom to do whatever in a given comic because I need to hit certain plot points by comic number x.

I also write out all of my comics in advance. All the JAQs since #8 are scripted, sometimes mere hours, sometimes weeks or months, before they actually get made. Though most of the time I don't strictly adhere to the script. There's usually some dialogue or panel layout changes that occur during the actual making of the comic.

Mauve: You're too hard on yourself. Your drawings rock.

AJ: Welcome back. Unfortunately the only way to escape the Twilight Zone is... no, come to think of it, there is no way out.

Brown steaks usually just mean that the blood's dried. Maranate that sucker, and it's good as new. So long as nothing's growing on it.

We ate'em, didn't we? They only smelled funny before we cooked them.

I know. Personally I find those kinds of steaks perfect oppertunities to try new maranoades.

Phil and AJ make me laugh until my sides hurt.

For some reason, I always picture SK as a chibi, with really huge eyes, childish manner of speaking, and incessant bounce.

Phil- Well, tasty steak, past expiration date or otherwise, is better that whatever you might get to eat at the hospital. XD

You made me laugh, Phil. And considering that I'm in the library, two hours before I start my first day of work here, that may not be such a good thing. But it's so totally worth it.

Awww, cute Mauve! Thanks! I love it!

Dragonsbane · 09-21-2006, 10:13 AM
