"Mr Sandman" will as of now be updating daily.

So… what kind of comic is it?

Well, first of all, it's what I would in hindsight call my "first" comic. Of course that's not true, since I started work on it around 1998, and I'd been drawing comics ever since I could hold a pen (I didn't just start drawing, I started drawing COMICS!). But my previous comics had either been using known characters (the Disney or Warner characters, Batman etc.) or they were parodies of these. So in that sense, this is my first "own" comic, using original characters and an original story. It's also the first time I really wrote about "myself", in a sense that i didn't just make up a plot, but in that I wanted to communicate my feelings.

Work on "mr Sandman" continued until the early year 2001, conceptual work on my next comic A.D 1997 had started in 2000.

It goes without saying that this comic suffers from many shortcomings, both on the writing and the art. But that's how I learned to do some of these things better, and how I turned from a godawful writer/artist into the mediocre writer/artist that I am today! :-D

EDIT:

Midge: Now if every comic gets the readers it deserves my comics can't be that bad… 'cause you rock too! About the clothing line… everything is sewn by hand by myself, so it ain't too cheap :-D
DAJB: Nooooooo… I've neither seen Yu-Gi-Oh nor Alias :D
Midge (again): Gasp, you're right! But… this comic came before Yu-Gi-Oh AND Alias! :-D
