Song of the Day: Gitane Demone – “Somewhere”

I’ve been repeating this punchline to people for the past few weeks whenever they ask me about Seattle. It’s one of those jokes that just might stick around for a long time in my arsenal. Like the one where I say, “I can’t read, I’m illegitimate.” I find it easier to joke about things like that than talking about a sports team or the weather or how the weather affects the sports team.
After my trip to New Orleans, I have seen [again] the major difference in how people act towards one another in the two cities. In Seattle, one person sees another smoking a pipe and thinks to himself, “I really like the smell of pipe smoke, but I can’t say so because I am a militant anti-smoker. So I’ll just walk on and not even look the person in the eye.” In New Orleans, the first person invites the second to their house for Pipe Club.
While I miss Writhe and Shine of course (being a New Orleanian and all) I am loving seeing your similar style and view on life take on a new environment… I’m enjoying this comic just as much as the other… because I’m learning about the quirks of a new town, instead of laughing at the in-jokes of my home town…
Mayhap one day the cast of one comic will visit the town of the other!?
Also liked what you did with the grey work… Over the years your line work, and facial/body design has improved quite nicely, I’m interested to see you make the journey with your backgrounds via the addition of the grey tones.
Who knows… maybe one day you’ll go all technicolor on us!? *Shudder*
I’m glad you like it! I do too!
Yes, there is a possibility that the two comics will have a cross-over.
Yeah, by the time I get to coloring the comic strip, it will be out of fashion or the technology will be so far beyond my comprehension that it will just look like I’m using crayons… Heh, that gives me an idea…
…and a diabolical plot ensues.
I like the “have a nice day” thing because it appeals to my pessimistic sense of humour.
Also, it’s nice to see another Writhe and Shine fan.
The following will get big again if this keeps up.
I certainly hope it gets big!
Jesus crawling crap, man.
The website looks great now.
Thanks! Just got it worked on. There will be a few more tweeks over the next couple months, but this is indeed a major improvement!
This will definitly be the perfect place to draw the gothic comic masses.
I look forward to seeing what else you have in shore for this site and welcome any requests for advice/help.
Also, I’ve posted more poetry if you wouldn’t mind looking over them.
I’ll take a look.
