The Tools of the Trade

The Tools of the Trade

I was going to talk about the tools I use to make Plant-Man + Flowerin’ today but I’ll have to leave that for another day.

As I spoke about in my last blog post I’m spending this weekend pumping out a 3 page comic, so the tools I use to make a comic don’t really matter that much right now.

What is important are the tools to help me get through a weekend where I have to get a 3 page story done from scratch to final ink!

So here we go:

  • Television with The Simpsons on it (Yeah yeah I know you’re going to tell me it sucks these days, but I still love it, and even bad Simpsons is a hell of a lot better than pretty much everything else on the box these days)
  • Internet Radio with XM54: Lithium playing on it (thanks to Sirius XM for giving free trials in exchange for a unique email address – great stuff if you own some domain names and have, in essence, unlimited unique email addresses!)
  • Sarsaparilla. Best soft drink ever.
  • Chocolate Milk. My weapon of choice is Nestle Milo. Its cold and yummy and chewable.
  • More Sarsaparilla. Sugar!
  • Wife that knows how manic I am about deadlines.

I think you’re good to get through a deadline like this with only one of these things, but there’s no sense not being prepared, right? Right.
