Comic Relief

I thought I had stuff to talk about, but I guess I really don't. Several attempts to draw recently have proved fruitless. Some days the images just come right out, and other days it's a complete struggle. Impatience is my number one enemy when the pencil hits the paper. I'm attempting to create a [a href="http://www.sgcartoon.com"]whole series of comic strips[/a], basically within the span of 36 hours. Mostly it's the writing that's holding me back right now. Comics are a one-trick pony - there's got to be one solid joke and it's got to be good, or the viewer feels cheated and anticipation wanes for future installments. I'm having trouble coming up with great jokes that can be played out in short dialogue situations. In cartoons, it's easy, since there's so much time to build to something substantial. Hopefully I haven't met my match. I've got all day Saturday to figure it out, since the rest of the weekend is a wash. And for the record, 105.9 is playing 80's songs alphapetically all weekend. I'm totally jamming to some Hall & Oates right now. It just ain't Hall without the Oates!
