I drew this short comic for Mobsters and Monsters, an online zine, last year -- I asked and they said I could post it online now. :) You should check out the other comics in the book, btw ( http://mobstersandmonsters.tumblr.com/ ) -- they're much cooler than mine. Since this was my first ever attempt at a comic rather than a one off drawing I had to make it quite short, too. But I really appreciated being included -- it was a fun project.
Ah, actually telling a story in pictures is terribly hard. Even when it's a real simple one. (Mad scientist ladies duke it out with wind turbine monsters, because I love both mad scientist ladies and wind turbines)

And there you are.
I kinda want to play around with these characters again some time. (pretty sure everyone survived and no one was actually eaten?) Maybe some time in the future when I suddenly become able to draw at lightning speed (that happens to everyone eventually, right? Sure, it does.)
Yeah, choosing for good overall composition and choosing for good storytelling aren't the same thing, definitely. :D Sequential art's a hard thing to learn; I admire people who are good at it. (Folks who can turn out intelligible comic pages in a day or a few; that's amazing) Looking back at this, I think I start to see where I ought to have changed some bits or moved stuff around or maybe added a page to make this thing more understandable. Have to try another one some time with the same characters, see if I can get better at it.

whoa I love love love the style and colour scheme used in this comic. So pretty.
I kinda find it a little hard to follow in the middle, but it's still visually very enchanting
