Pinch Gets A Job, Part 4 - Looking For A Job
I was trying to think of a job for Turpin and decided he’s the equivalent of an Uber / DoorDash delivery person. That way in the future he can transport Pinch to different places or bring food to the guys on the boat.
Proving people wrong or making people eat their words seems to be a big motivator in doing anything.
Lip-Syncing
Milli Vanilli were two models who were shamed for lip-syncing their music back in the 90’s. Now the internet is filled with models lip-syncing music. Ironic, but also super cringey.
Cleaning, Part 7 : Buried
This is the final part in the “Cleaning” storyline. I was originally going to have it go on longer with Pinch selling items off the side of the boat like a yard sale. Suzy, Turpin and the seagull were each going to show up, but then I decided yesterday that I wanted to wrap it up by today, so I just had them bury everything. I didn’t plan for the “bury your (emotional) baggage” metaphor when I started, but that’s where it went. It’s interesting to me where these stories decide to go. Some people comment “I can’t wait to see where this goes” during a storyline and I think “yeah, me neither!”
The reason why I wanted to wrap up the storyline by today is that today marks the one year anniversary of this comic strip. One of my goals when I started this was to go one full year of making daily strips. It was a close call with the comic posting in the 11 pm EST hour a few days, but I’m proud to be able to say that I never missed a single day (and it was a leap year!). Even though most days had me thinking “I have NOTHING for today. There is NO WAY I’m going to be able to get this done”. Somehow, it got done.
With that goal now met, I’m going to loosen up my schedule and have fun with it. I’m no longer going to be able to produce 7 new strips each week, but I’ll still make a new comic whenever I can. Might be 3 each week. Might only be 1. It’ll depend on how busy I get with life and any client work.
In between the new posts, I’ll post older comics I’ve made throughout the year that people may not have seen, as well as hand drawn art and quotes from the strip. I’ll also post any “work in progress” vids and pics of the cartoon I’m working on. I’ve always wanted this to turn into a cartoon. That’s my next goal.
Self Talk
I was watching an interview with a doctor on TV a few months ago and he referred to people with an “elevated body mass index”. So nobody’s “fat” any more. They’re not even “overweight”. They’re now just people with “an elevated body mass index”.
Originally the moon wasn’t going to have a face, then I thought it would be neat if the moon were a character in future strips so I decided to give him one. Maybe it could give crazy advice to the guys, or something like that. Sort of like how people get all these stupid thoughts at night.
I always imagined Suzy as the stereotypical modern day trendy girl. A major part to the trendy girl lifestyle is freaking out over pumpkins in October.
