Transcript For Strip 1099

In January 2001 I found another job in the gaming industry and ceased work on ‘Conquest of the Milky way’ because I didn’t want muddy I.P. issues with my new employer.
That job lasted seven months before I ran screaming for the hills and decided I was through with the computer game biz. However, I did manage to build a few models with 3D Studio which I’ll show here because what the hell.

Having quit the games business I shifted mental gears and re-purposed my ‘back-story’ as a web-comic concept, re-titled ‘The Murphy Drive.’ I designed a few characters and drew four installments before I was side-tracked again with two other projects, ‘A Drug War Carol’ and ‘The Probability Broach’.

There followed a commissioned short Graphic novel project about the life of Frédéric Bastiat which has never been published, a move to Cheyenne, and several more projects with Big Head Press. During this time I continued developing the story in my spare time until I was ready to pitch the project. With a name change and some other tweaks Frank accepted and the rest is future history.
Tomorrow I will show how I put together a typical QUANTUM VIBE strip.
