Insecurities 2012 (or Hourly Comics Day #4)
(Lucy’s incredible Hourly Comic strips are here)
(Also here are youtube links for the tunes mention. Onyx. Cloud Nothings)
I kinda screwed the pooch on this year’s Hourly Comic Day. I fell behind really quickly and it was a massive struggle to catch up, so these were done on Feb 2nd after a failed attempted on Feb 1st and inked a day after. So…not really in the spirit of Hourly Comics, but I thought “it’s been so long since I’ve done a strip for the internet, I want this to look okay.” Hopefully next time I won’t be so precious (he says).
So yeah, a post on the Ellerbisms site, that’s a bit weird, right? I guess a comic about me belongs on here but I also wanted to mention the Ellerbisms book that I’m working on. It is totally happening, I’ve drawn 30 pages of new strips for it and I’m just editing/finishing stuff off at the moment. I have a bit more to tie the narrative up, but it should be out this year. I really hope it will. Here are some panels from two of the new strips which you may not have seen (spoilers revoked…)
Y’know, looking back at Ellerbisms and doing this Hourly Comic has made me miss drawing my face a little. Hopefully I’ll return to the project at a later point when I have a little bit more to say about my life.
In the meantime, my fictional comic Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter is still happening and you can buy it from here if you haven’t already.
So how are you? How have you been?
Happy to see you again!
Good 2 have u back. Ellerbisms was a regular treat that has left a wecomic sized blackhole in my life.
I did pick up the recent all singing, all dancing, technicolour Chloe Noonan recently which was aces.
Hope life’s treating you well my good man.
Happy that there is an Ellerbisms book coming. And that I’m not the only one who spends an hour erasing and redrawing a single panel.
