Drexle
Your Cure for Lameness

Member Rated:

So, I've decided to take a new approach to this strip crating business. I'm going to try to make an honest to god serial with recurring characters and everything. It's called "Pointless," 'cause largely, I think it is. It's inspired either by random things I happen to be thinking about, things that happen to me, or things that other people tell me about that I think would make a cool strip. I'm still going to pump out randomness whenever I feel like it, but for now I want to try to make a go of this new (for me) approach. Hope you enjoy it. We'll start with episode 004, because I'm a freak like that.

I just hope that there are at least a few regulars who remember what "Skeet Shooting" references, or the "PULL!" shit probably won't make any sense at all. If you really want to know, just do a comic search for "Skeet Shooting," and start with the strip I wrote with that very title.

I was reading this while in the making. Something about the title "Pointless" struck me. I was wondering if you'd ever get back to the guy from Idaho, and hurrah, you did.

Yeah, I have had the general storyline planned out from the start. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten anything.

Hmmm.... I know I shouldn't like it, but I do. Especially the last comic. That one was awesome.

Now, why do you have a new approach on strip crating? I never knew there was a high demand for crating strips in the first place. I mean, how much space can they take up?

Why shouldn't you like it? ;p

Anyway, thanks for the compliment. Strip crating of course is a tricky business. I mean, if you're not careful, you could end up posting more strips than the forum will allow in a single message. That's certainly not good. And what if you post too few? That would just be a waste of postage space. :p

Why did I change my approach to strip creAting? A lot of reasons, actually. For one thing, up to now I have treated my SC.com account as little more than a sketchbook where I throw out random ideas, single-comic jokes, and short series. I don't agonize for hours over the perfect way to phrase everything, or stage every scene, I just put things out there as they came and decided the next day whether I thought it is still as funny as it seemed when I wrote it. I wanted to change my approach because I wanted to exercise a comic writing method that I just haven't actually used before. I've written plenty of series, but they're all seperate entities with no common characters besides the infamous one-noters. I just decided that having a consistent cast of characters that I could put into various situations would give me a new way to relate to comic stripping.

There were actually five more that I thought I'd posted at the time but I guess that I haven't. Here they go:

I shouldn't like it because I have decided to disagree with everything ObiJo says.

Because I love him.

And I'm fruity.

Right now, anyway.

Then it's my opinion you should disagree with everything I say.

There. That should put you in a logical loop long enough for me to diddle your cat.

I agree.

Logic takes a backseat to flights of fancy. And our mutual attraction to my cat.

Apart from the Obijo/MikeyG part (which is none of your fault) I really like it! Most of the strips are able to stand alone and that's hard to find in a series.

Those Swedish lyrics were pretty funky...

Thanks, lukket. I have teh intranashunal appeal. Huzzah!

I'm certainly not a native swedish speaker, but I've heard that Vintersorg writes pretty weird lyrics. I've read a translation of that song which didn't sound so weird, but I've heard people say that he just makes up words as he goes along.
