Let's hope this looks good when it shows up on the Drunk Duck page… Back in 2001, I really wanted to experiment with a comics format that America hadn't seen in so long, few readers were even willing to recognise it as comics. The row of panels with prose captions had, however, continued to be made in newspaper comics in the Netherlands, though, and at the time even seemed to be making a comeback. In any case, I didn't care much about genre considerations; I just wanted to work in the format and hoped it would entertain people.

In the end, I ran up against a problem: I just wasn't that great a prose writer and couldn't churn it out day after day. Over the two or so years that the story ran originally, I ended up diluting the format. So in the end, it looked like every other strip out there.

Drunk Duck doesn't support this format well, so I'm using this as an opportunity to learn how to do DTP using Scribus. There may be an e-book at the end of the process.
