Serializer Archive: "How I Made It In Webcomics"
Added 2024-02-01 17:27:01 +0000 UTCThis is a reprint of a 2003 commissioned strip which ran in the now-defunct Flak Magazine (flakmag.com), which I reprinted on the now-defunct Serializer (serializer.net). Please enjoy this, its "third debut."
Please also note that the sentiments expressed in this piece were exaggerated in order to caricature the condition of the artist by focusing on an occasional self-doubt we all experience (even people who pick apples or motivate gymnasiums full of children). I currently am quite delighted to be producing Achewood comics in the Old Fashion, and plan to hit even more rootsy notes once this latest Téodor and Tina storyline wraps up tomorrow.

lol yeah that’s a pretty important disclaimer, I was starting to feel guilty about enjoying this renaissance

2024-02-04 06:35:05 +0000 UTCI know Keith from Boston. He lost a lot of money and Achewood was the only thing keeping him from continuing to lose money. What a dick,

2024-02-02 22:48:22 +0000 UTCI was super active on TOUAMB from its founding after Onstad shut down his Dumbrella board until like 2010/11. I got behind on posts after a vacation and felt like I couldn't get back into it. I now regret not making the time. I still follow some TOUAMBies around the internet.

2024-02-02 05:01:21 +0000 UTCIf I were to go to a furniture store, and purchase a random bed from the showroom floor, but specifically request that I not be told which bed I now own, and then take a shit on a bed on the showroom floor, I would be in a quantum state of both owning and not owning the bed I shit in. Which tee shirt should I wear if I do that?

2024-02-02 04:33:47 +0000 UTCOh, how I recall reading TOUAMB forums long after everyone stopped showing up. Never got a reply when I applied to join. Was always fun reading what y'all wrote there. One of my favourite forum bits was a user who showed up, typing a phonetic Deep-South accent at all times, claiming it was his speech-to-text software, as if it could transcribe 'like' as 'lahk' and other such drivel. His commitment to the bit was amazing. Tiny cans of Dr. Pepper all around.

2024-02-02 04:08:50 +0000 UTCGetting down to brass tacks, there are really only two beds you can shit in: a bed that you own, and a bed that you don't. It was considerate of you to make a shirt for every permutation of this activity.

2024-02-01 18:56:36 +0000 UTCI knew there was a Serializer strip that made fun of me specifically and I was pretty sure he turned my username CortJstr into AbnrmlJstr but I couldn't remember any other details. I'm glad to see it again. I was sure among the people on TOUAMB who reminisced about the "core cast" and "before the cats took over"

2024-02-01 18:45:27 +0000 UTCI'm partial to the tiger who shits in a phone book and the self-sabotaging bear who forgives the tiger as a Christmas present.

2024-02-01 17:37:43 +0000 UTCThat one time in 1984 where Funky Winkerbean just rode the porcelain pony for a week. I looked at it and thought, “he ate a whole barbacoa burrito,” it was very relatable

2024-02-01 17:35:46 +0000 UTCI just like that "fuckin'" sign on the wall of the spaceship. Other than that, meh

2024-02-01 17:31:25 +0000 UTCI am personally a fan of the squirrel who does cocaines & the tiger who drinks until he throws up also in his bed.
