Simple and ridiculous as it is, "Sketchy" can be derived--pretty nearly entirely--from concepts mined from other, far superior comics:
Nedroid (gleefully absurd adventures),
123 Step! (sketch comic), and
Soup (blob character). Put those three together, and you have the obviously winning combination of a hastily drawn blob who has absurd adventures: Sketchy!
The reasons for it are that I've been wanting to have some outlet for absurd adventurism, and that I got to liking the thin line / thick line sketch technique I came up with as a time-saving device in
cranking out storyboards for A*. If I can draw 60 of those in a day, surely drawing just one per day--and one that probably doesn't even have a human character in it--should be a snap, right? How smart is that.
Also, there's no story. Well, there is a story, but only in the sense that your mind struggles to make logical sense of things it reads in sequence--a tendency Sketchy will be exploiting to the fullest! Prepare for meaningless absurdity on a daily basis.
Well, not on weekends. You'll just have to supply that for yourself.
Unlike most of my other comics (except for
-word-), Sketchy is drawn at screen resolution, so prints ordered through the site aren't higher resolution than what you could print yourself. But they're printed on glossy 8.5"x11" cardstock by an industrial, truck-sized printer, and signed by me in sparkly ink! Sketchy prints come *with* their captions, but if you'd prefer just the picture part, you can specify that in the "Special Instructions" field on the order form.
