Hey Grant, have you ever seen the work of Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig? I think you'd get a kick out of his stuff; it's very similar in style to your own brand of gentle absurdism.
Hi i've just started following your blog and wondered how you draw your comics? Do you do them straight into a digital program or draw them out and scan them in??
My fiancee just sent me the link to this comic, and I am beyond tickled; I wrote a play that's opening in two days about a (botched) art heist, and within the first few pages, one of the characters makes mention of her particular disdain for balloon animals. So I saw this and immediately shared it with the cast. It kind of made my day.
There is a book, titled "KRAKEN", by the great fantasy author China De Mieville, in which the second panel of this comic actually occurs(with a small variation- it was a giant squid, rather than a shark)

Greasemonkey: No, but I'll check out his work. Also, I'm putting "gentle absurdist" on my business cards.
ReplyDeleteEmily: Thank you! Everything is hand drawn in pen and marker, but I scan them in and add color in Photoshop.
