Abnormal

I came up with this idea one day and thought it was so funny that I got started on it as soon as a I could. My getting started involved drawing the first panel. It wasn't until a couple of days later that I was able to sit down and finish this comic, and much to my frustration I couldn't keep the characters looking all that consistent. Not that I've been all that consistent on my drawings from frame to frame in the past, but it was especially difficult this time.
I get questions about how I draw these comics. And the answer is that I draw everything by hand. All the frames and the action in the frame I draw out and ink. Then I scan the drawing into the computer, and I use photoshop to clean the scanned drawing. When I'm drawing and inking I sometimes make stray lines, or don't form a hand particularly well, or I may even misspell a word. I use photoshop to clean all that up, deleting unwanted lines fixing hands or on occasion fixing spelling. After that I use photoshop the color the comic.
As I was coloring this comic, my sister asked my if William has only one shirt. My answer is yes. Yes he does.
