Madmen Valentine

Click to make it full-size, as per usual.

I'm totally head-over-heels for slimy little weasel Pete Campbell on Madmen. I love his dejected Pete face. Anyway, so I made an aloof Madmen Valentine out of one of my favorite Season 1 Pete & Peggy exchanges.

Peggy: Do you think of me?
Pete: I'll be honest... a few times.

LOLZ, for sure.

Hello internet people, how are you

Page 6-ness! I am finishing my last semester of grad school. Hooray! I also canceled my myspace. This means now that one internet-entity has perished, another must rise to take its place. Does this mean I will blog more in the future? Perhaps. I'm trying to work more on my comic, but I'm also debating about finally building a personal site wherein to house it.

Of course, finishing my master's and then finding a job are top priorities this year. Sigh.

When does the fun stuff get to become a priority? Note to self: do not get married/have kids.

PAGE FIVE

OH MY GOD IT'S SO FUCKING COLD IN MY ROOM WHY WHY WHY WHY? Yeah. I have to take a bath just to restore circulation to my feet now.

So, page five! Thus ends scene two. I totally needed some rich old name for one of the armchair dicks, so I just swiped one from my pal Edith Wharton.

Oh, Newland...

SO COLD

It's so freaking cold in my room. Drawing silly comics to stay warm. Also drinking hot chocolate.

So yeah, page four. I debated for awhile over what scene should come next. I didn't want to confuse people, but I also thought it was important for the next main character to be "on camera" ASAP. So here we go! And also, I thought I was ON TOP of the stupid freaking tea tray until I finished. And then I realized it switched hands in the last two panels. YAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. Fuck it, maybe she's just not a lefty, y'know? She was just shifting shit around. Yeah, that's it.

Page Three

I hate perspective, not like I even did it right. OH SNAP. I REQUIRE NO T-SQUARE.

So instead of homework, I finished this page. And I totally stole the name Loch from this kid I worked with at the Ultrashit. It's a really good weird name.

Page-ness

Whoo, hooray for figuring out a good way to handle the paneling. Wobbly ugly black boxes? YES. Scrawny right-angles? NO.

Should've quit while I was ahead

And our other heroine. Doesn't look as sharp as the little maid in this sketch, I have to say. Probably because I rushed it. I really like Willa. She's the story, really. I had no idea what to call her, then one day I was brushing my teeth and the name just popped into my head. I thought, damn, that is perfect for that one chick in that one comic I want to write. And that's how it happened. I wish this wasn't so blah looking.
