#1 - +10 critical strike to my heart
Well, here it is. I've been
meaning to turn this whole "Dorm Life" thing into a comic for quite
some time now, and this weekend I gulped a breath of fresh air, put
my "determined face" on, and a few sandwiches later I have a small
site and my very first strip to show for it. Hooray for me,
hooray for progress. Bear with me as I get this ball rolling.Why dorms, you ask? There's
something so endearing about the experience in my memory, and there
is such a long list of delightful situational comedy that arises
with so many people living ten feet away from one another at all
times. I also plan to accompany each strip with a topical blog
post detailing the where, what, and how when it comes to
living in the dorms. A cheat sheet, if you will, for any folks
who themselves may be holed up in a college living space somewhere.
As for the comic and its popularity,
I can say in all honesty that I do not know what kind of reaction
and reader base this comic is going to receive, if any. But,
whichever way the tide turns, I've made it a personal goal to
release a comic three times a week; on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays. And by golly, I'm going to do it.
As a parting note, I just want to
state for the record that most of what I plan to write about will be
based on my own personal experiences. The characters are
composed of little bits of a lot of people I knew and interacted
with while I was in school, but none of them relate directly to any
specific person (with the exception of Thelma, who is a lot like
myself). All other characters are fictionalized.
