As promised, I’ve added Salad Days to the “Comics for Buying” area. In coming days, I’ll add an excerpt to the “Comics for Viewing” area so that you can catch the vibe before you lay down the dollars.
Also as promised, I am now going to tell you about my bonehead production move: I wrote “Epilogue” instead of “Prologue” for the part of the story that comes before the first chapter begins, then I made ninety photocopies of this mistake. Fortunately, the good man Geoff Vasile pointed out my error after only a few sales, but even then it took a little while for me to realize that epilogues don’t go at the beginning (Geoff: “Is this a joke?” Me: “What?” Geoff: “The epilogue is at the beginning.” Me: “Right.” [pause] “Oh, sh*t!”). A small error that completely changes the arc of the story. I made the mistake after a long week of scrambling to finish the comic before Stumptown, so I blame tiredness and haste. I actually do know the difference between an epilogue and a prologue.
I am reminded of an incident in college, in which I called Physical Plant while high in order to report that the water was not draining in the dorm shower. I distinctly remember saying, “Hi, I’m calling to report that there’s a drain in the shower.” (Physical Plant representative: “A drain?” Me [with a tone of "what part of this are you not understanding?"]: “Yes, a drain. There’s a drain in the shower.” Physical Plant representative: “Do you mean a clogged drain?” Me: “Oh. Yes.”)
Yeesh. Just call me “Minty Dinglebranez.”
All this nonsense aside, I hope you will purchase and enjoy my new comic. In addition to being helpful, Geoff Vasile also makes great comics, and you should probably go buy Trackrabbit while you’re at it.
