Here is some advice for people who work on any type of projects…actually, it’s less advice, more of me venting about how much of a dumbass I was on making this one.

Sometimes it’s best to shut the hell up.

The “production” phase for this comic, the phase where I actually put the comic I’m going to post together, was too disjointed. I kept starting and stopping, figuring I would come back to it later…and I did, but the constant stalling took its toll on the quality. I sketched and inked it over a period of two weeks, in between work and random stuff I needed to do. That’s not a good way to work on something that should only take a day of focused effort.

I blame my human brain. It can make leaps of insight, bringing together desparate bits of information for a great idea, but when I take too long coming back to something all of a sudden I can’t remember how I was inking lines and suddenly the results seem disjointed to me. But I am putting it up on the internet because I believe in the joke.

So yeah, try to get things done as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Girl Dilema doesn’t happen everyday, but when it does, it’s bittersweet. My friend Nathaniel and I discovered the name in 2001 while in math class and it has since been sleeping due mostly to school and miles of distance. A few weekends ago we met up after three years apart.

not just breakfast anymore.

This song was recorded in a hotel room using a laptop, two microphones, an electric bass and acoustic guitar. We managed to record three songs before the occupants next door began to hit the wall.

This is the third version of the song. You can find a band profile and the remaining songs we recorded here.
