I drew a comic.

This was finished at around 10:30PM, so it's actually a 21-hour comic. Unfortunately, I ran out of things to do. Adding more to it would have officially counted as padding, at this point. My next 24-hour comic will have to be longer.

A little bit of backstory...
The concept of this comic and all its characters were created by Bryan O' Malley a decade ago, back when we were all still kids either graduating high school or in our first couple semesters of college. Initially, he was going to create his own story about them, but as he had other projects to focus on, he opted to submit it as an "Impromanga" instead, and have other artists run wild with it.
A multitude of artists contributed to the Pennywise story, whilst I wrote a great deal of the beginning and final chapters of the comic, in a rather control-freaky manner. I was rather enamored with it, as it aimed to be a sexy comic, and I sure liked attempting to draw those.
Somehow, I was slated to finish the comic off (I probably just volunteered), but this never happened. I guess I had other things to do, and the longer I waited, the further I drifted away from the style of writing and art my Pennywise pages had. It eventually got to the point where I realized my pages were among the worst comics ever drawn in the history of comics.

So, although Pennywise, like every other Impromanga except Queen of Clubs, will never get a proper ending, I figured I could at least start it over and make the story much shorter.
It's a project wherein I take a comic I worked on back when I was an entirely different artist in every concievable way, and redo it as the artist I am now. All my 24-hour comics will probably do things like this. I think the next one will be about my "Ryuken" characters. Anyway, I did have to sit and ponder whether it was really a good idea to do Pennywise. These aren't my characters; essentially, it's a fanfic of characters Mal created a thousand years ago and probably forgot about.. which is kind of... uh, nuts? Maybe THAT'S why I decided to go ahead and do it. 'Cause it's nuts.

Anyway, hope you liked my first almost-24hr comic.

Man, Pennywise is finished.
I never thought I'd see the day.

I laughed harder at that than I should have. Bravo.

Today was 24 Hour Comic Day? I need to keep track of that better to make my own attempt.

I dunno when 24 Hour Comic day is. I do them whenever I want!

josh,
i do not converse with you much but i really like your comics and art. it has been fun watching you grow so much over the last year or so.
hart,
jamie

Thanks. =) I like yours too! Actually I tried to find you and Fred's table at Comic Con, but failed. I probably walked right by it like an idiot! =O

oh god i loved it all wild and crazy like!



..kids

Hahaha, man, I was just thinking about Controversial Jack the other day.

Maybelline saying "we'll take care of you" is one of my favorite pictures by you yet. :D

Oh yeah, that's another Improv that ended, wasn't it? Quite properly too! Good ol' Jack.

Duuude, that was so hilarious. it's like, Pennywise, the Play or something... or THE MUSICAL!!!

But dude, Silent Darkness ended... though, I guess since I made that sequel Second Darkness that never ended, so it didn't really get a proper end in general... *GASP*!

Waugh... I forgot about Silent Darkness... =O It was never archived anywhere, I don't think. Neither was Dead End of 59th, which is a bit of a pity.

"GIBSON, RUN!"

"WHY?"

Shit, that was awesome. Planet of Lesbians = win.

You did all that in 21 hours? That's it, I quit, I'll never be as cool as you . . .

It's strange... Once you get in the frame of mind for it, it's not as hard as it sounds...

At least it wasn't that one planet from Captain Nemo that after awhile forced people to stay on the planet... else they became animal men when they leave!

M Night Shyamalan : What a twist!

Maybeline is fucking hot. I want her.

All around awesome. Also, DONGS DONGS DONGS

I totally dug drawing Maybeline, both in this comic and back when I drew the original Improv. It's the stripey clothes and glasses!

Needs more lesbians.

Also, this makes me want to draw a 24 hour comic.

Well let's see here...

Joyriding song FTW
Planet of lesbians FTW
"WOAH HOT SHIT" FTW
"Most sex in the history of balls" FTW
Plot twist FTW
"Good lord and butter" FTW
Drill dicks FTW

NOTHING about this comic sucked. I believe the phrase "pure, molten awesome" applies here. Stop it. Stop it now. My face nearly melted when the awesome radiated out from my monitor. I was assaulted by a constant 58.21875 Sq. In. of greatness from start to finish (and yes, I actually measured the width of the image and the height of my browser window for that because it was THAT IMPORTANT).

To sum my feelings up: I liked it.

I first heard the phrase "Good Lord and Butter" in one of Berke Breathed's comics. I'm not sure where it originated, but I have a feeling it was in England somewhere.
Glad you liked it!

You sure should feel sorry for making us feel bad with your making awesome comics like this in less than 24 hours! >: (

Either way this is great stuff.

This cracked my shit up. Man, I am so embarrassed of everythign I ever contributed to impromanga. At least I can delete all the old stuff on my own webpage.... but my terrible, terrible mech designs live on forever.

There's a lot of embarrassing stuff over at Centerstorm, but it's like hey, we were all young then. =)
I gave the Pennywise Improv another look, and while it's a little hard to read now, it's amazing how many of its artists are still around and doing much better work now!

I really love that snail.

Ah.. So that's what you where trying to do. At first, I thought it was a slipshine comic.. Then maybe Holiday Spirits.. And then maybe parody of all the lesbians we ever get on Slipshine.. (By the way, PUT THIS ON SLIPSHINE. NOW.)

I remember Pennywise. It was.. meh. Confusing. It was like anime fanservice without the anime. But it didn't matter, cuz at that time I was a total lurker and drooled at all of those that could draw better than me, especially all the bouncy tits in the series. It's kind of a shame half the artists disappeared from the face of the earth, and the other half has been sucked into the never ending roundrobin comic vortex that is now Centerstorm..

And then now I'm drawing porn for you, who knew?

Remember that thing about the characters belonging to Bryan O Malley?
Yeaaaah. This isn't going on Slipshine.

Centerstorm still exists??

This comic is made of win and ponies. Thank you!

I like this comic because the name of the lesbian planet is also the name of a Nintendo game.

This should be a thing.
One of those things where the rest of you surviving Impromanga guys choose a title and summarize it in 24 pages or less.

Then maybe it can be collected into a graphic novel.
A book called "1998".

the middle burly man is upsetting me
