194066's blog: "Xiam's Comic Blog"

I originally wanted to do squirrels, but... well, people would start going "OH, FOAMY, YAY!" ...Fucking rodent. So, I then wanted to do guinea pigs, but... then my friend Karen got HER friend a hamster, which then BIT her friend, and I commented that hamsters were evil. So yeah, expect more of Xiam's hostility towards hamsters. In reality, I have nothing against rodents, but... this is more of a social commentary, anyway. A SATIRE, if you will. Y'know those people who are afraid of clowns? Yeah, it's like that. Clowns are fucking funny, I don't care what you say. Now, if you just hate them for being obnoxious (like with mimes), that I can understand. But I'll just call you a jackass. Clowns and mimes are artists in their own right. XP

I couldn't think of a name for my friend Tricia's character, and she wasn't very helpful. Well, I didnt' think of a very good one for my friend Michaela, either, so... oh, well. Anyway, the platypus wasn't actually my idea, it was suggested by a friend - so I just developed a story around it based on how my friend Tricia was in Europe, and lonely (she's home now, I need to do a follow-up on that).

So this is Michi... she'll show up again. As you can see, Xiam (or rather, I) adore her. But she desn't reciprocate. Story of my life, yeesh. Anyway, yeah, she's a pervert, but I really do like reading her work... I just skip over the dirty stuff. She's a really good writer, I just wish she'd write... well... stories that don't involve two guys in love. There's nothing WRONG with that, I just really think she should branch out.

So here we have where it all began. Colorful, but blurry. I blame MS Paint. I've gotten the hang of editing, for the most part... and I've learned my lesson NEVER to do an 8-panel comic again. The story behind this story is that my friend Amy (whom Elio is modelled after) often has computer problems - I'll type and type, only to have her get kicked off, and then return, having no idea of what I said before. It happens to a lot of people, but this is a common occurrence with us, haha.
