Cigarette Break
#236 Cigarette Break
People always say that it’s “about the journey, not the destination.” All musicians know that band practice is a state of being. Also, being in a band is a state of being. Being, man, is BEING. I’ve focused a lot on work topics lately, so I figured that I’d mix it up now. It’s been a really long while since the strip talked about music. In fact, the first two strips (waaaaay back in 2014) were about music:About MY ADVENTURES IN COMICS
Since I had no confidence in my drawing skills, I figured I’d take a bunch of photos and organize them into a comic strip. Everything about the comic was inspired by real life. However, it started to get difficult telling a story or writing a joke around photos and it felt like I was doing everything backwards.
So, at the end of 2014, I thought I’d try my hand at writing a joke first, then drawing. Thus, the comic was reborn. Though it seemed simple enough, I wondered if I could keep it up regularly. And now, here we are.
My Adventures in Comics is A COMPLETELY FICTIONAL strip inspired by life, love, family, work, cats & dogs, and music.
Tools: pencil, pens, paper, and Comic Life program.
