First of all, thanks for the coments on prevous journals, wich i didnt respond cause im an asshole.
Well, last week was the "comic week" here in Santa Cruz, and the previous week to that was a very crazy week because I was doing a comic to publish in a friends magazine, no wait I think its called fanzine cause its a bottom budget magazine, oh well you know how is the third world.
Anyway the thing was that they told me to do a comic with like a 2 months anticipation. Obviously I forgot about it. Time flew and then 5 days before the deadline they call and say "Hey, do you have it?". Luckily this unfortunate situation fell right in the middle of a 4-day weekend provided by our local religion (semana santa), but as I said it fell in the middle, so only 2 free days were left.
So then im trying to think of a great and clever story that can start and end in 6 pages, but naturaly I couldnt. And then I reallized why most of the stories in this independent comic magazines are either imposible to understand or seemingly ridicolous. Its becouse of the DEADLINES you have only a limited amount of pages, to give sence to your story, plus you have a limited amount of time to think in a suitable story.
And in the end I just took a storyline I allready more or less had, and made the comic about some short events happening in the story, wich gave the reader more or less no way to understand why the freaking hell is this happening. Yeah so making a short comic is not as easy as one might think, at least not a good one.
Well live and learn people, im gona upload the pages as soon as I finish adding text to them (left the ones with text in my firends computer).
