Just an old viral video that I rediscovered recently. It retains it's charm no matter how many times I see it. I guess truth doesn't get old.
Short Story: The Phantom of the Opera.
- Richard slipped a finger between his throat and tie and loosened it's grip with one firm tug. It would soon be his time to move but a chilling anxiety began to settle into his deadened heart. Suddenly, he rose from his seat with a grave expression and mumbled something peculiar; "Just another kill...."
A choice for webcomic readers?
When you play games like Fallout or Mass Effect, you're given a certain degree of control over the nature of the main character and how the story in the game progresses. What if webcomic readers were offered similar choices?
Short Story: Who's to say?
The moonlight sprayed out between cracks along the dusty cedar roof of the old shack. Mac sat with his back slumped against the cold brick wall, peering into the night sky through a hole. New York City was full of run-down buildings and abandoned complexes; an indignant shadow of a once great society. The crumbling roof over Mac’s head was a testament to that.

What makes you laugh?

Comedy feels like a really hit-or-miss category of entertainment, especially when presented through a comic. Ideas are often lost in translation and communicating complex jokes can be challenging. You might have a great idea but maybe you aren't able to draw it in a way that properly communicates the joke. This issue has led me to simplify previous comic strips when I felt that my illustrations wouldn't deliver the intended joke properly. I suppose it all depends on what your punchline is and how wordy you want your comic to be. I feel that Illustrations can range from being relatively unimportant to being the very frame that holds a joke together. Most of the ideas I come up with are illustration dependent, for better or for worse.
I enjoy making parodies of existing entertainment, and parody comics can benefit greatly from strong illustrations. It's often fun to point out the built-in humor evident all around us. Unfortunately, parody strips can be very limiting, as not everyone will understand the content I may parody and thus the joke may be lost in a sea of confusion. Now I often find myself thinking "What makes you laugh internet?" Well, don't let me take up too much of your time rambling. After all, i'm not a respected artist of any kind....for now.

On March 19, 2013 I hit a new record for single-day viewership (mostly thanks to reddit.) It really isn't much when weighed against the extreme popularity of similar sites but we all have to start somewhere. Getting off the ground is usually the hardest part of any lengthy endeavour, so modest traffic is to be expected at this early stage in development. Technically, anewgalaxy.com is over a year old counting up from it's domain registration date but the site has been dormant for most of that time. Now i'm fully prepared to provide a steady stream of content for all who wish to see. Bare with me if there are a few formatting issues as I smooth out the wrinkles with my site design. After all; you have to crawl before you can fly.
