SOL v2e4: Between the Panels

They say the magic of comics happens between the panels.
Well that may be true for the readers of comics.
It may be true for the creators of comics.
But how do the comics characters feel?

Well, you can't say Baron Von Domino and Nebulus the Kosmic don't have strong opinions.

SOL v2e3: Comic Character Purgatory

Have you ever wondered what happened to that beloved comic character that has fallen out of print.  Or that minor sidekick or villain that was only in one or two issues of a comic book.
Well if you have, this episode is for you.
If you haven't, then this episode will be an exploration of new territory for you.

Looks like Raccoon and the Big Guy are really hitting it off!
Just after I drew this, I read that Popeye is getting a new comic.
I guess he got called up to the big leagues.
Others are not so lucky.
Won't you please sponsor a lost character?

SOL v2e1: The Edge of Ellipsis

Ever feel like something is missing?
But you just can't put your finger on what it is?
Perhaps it is hiding...Behind those Three Dots!
Each Dot is a Bum, so don't forget to pronounce the Ellipsis "Bum, Bum, Bum!!!"
See, that makes it all so much more ... Dramatic!

Thank You for Coming Here Today

We now join the LarComCo Press Conference already in progress.

For the 23 people who actually used to read this web comic:
Thanks and Sorry for not posting anything in six months.
In my defense, I have been kinda busy (in my real life) and I have been designing and drawing things for LarsenGeekery.com (you can check that out if you want).
As for the fate of Super Ordinary Living: I learned a lot doing Volume 1.  I could try and finish off the story arc, but the thing got way more serious than I had intended and it turned out to be just a little to much like everything else out there (just another alternate dimension, save the multiverse, adventure).
Obviously, I got bored with it.  The complete lack of work for six months kind of proves that point.
Also I learned that doing conventional comics is something that really does take a team of three or four professionals with lots more time to spend than I had.  I kept comparing what I was doing in SOL with conventional comics and kept coming up short.  So I just kind of stopped.

So what now?
Honestly, I don't know.
My life doesn't allow the kind of long hours the old SOL would require to do well.
But I still like the idea of doing web comics.
So I need to find a method and a format that fits my life, my talent and my temperament better.
Shorter bursts.  More wacky weirdness.  Less worrying about plot.
If I can keep the big corporations out of it and just follow my instincts, who knows what will show up here as Super Ordinary Living.
I do know that Volume 1 has died.
Long Live Volume 2, what ever that may become.
