The beginning (again)


Click the pic above to see the full strip.

This week sees the re-launch of my comic-strip, Freelance. The first incarnation did not get the sort of feedback I hoped for, so I took a couple of weeks off to re-think the characters and the direction of the strip.
I decided to keep Mango and Lance (he will return later), and I have added the character of Snug. I think he is a good counter-balance for Mango. Snug is naïve and optimistic, and usually tries to see the good in everything. Mango is pretty much the opposite: cynical, derisive and usually only cares about himself. I feel like they both represent sides of me (and probably most human beings, if they are being really honest) and I really enjoy bouncing the two personalities off each other.
I will do my best to update it daily. My goal is to publish at least 50 here, get some feedback, and then pick the best ones and to try and get it published in more mainstream media.
Wish me luck.

P.s. I have started a Facebook Page and a Twitter Page for the strip. Check them out for regular updates.
