I’ve been once again focusing my time on the Doris Danger semi-interactive web-comic this week. In particular, Doris’s origin story. I’ve put together her first published origin story<\/a>. Chapter 6 from volume 1. Then I jumped ahead and posted her abduction story<\/a> (Chapter 16) from Monstrosis (vol. 2). Then I included an exciting “Tabloia offices all-dialogue sequence,” page 70-71 from Monstrosis<\/a> where Doris meets her boyfriend, Steve.<\/p>\n

\n

(Some of these sequences, the navigation isn’t completely updated, but I’ll get there. Thanks for your patience! There are also some nice GIANT MONSTER pages in there!)<\/p>\n

So you may be noticing, this is all “originy” stuff, but it’s really jumping around.<\/p>\n

THAT’S what has been the most complicated, and what I’m very excited about, and has taken the most work: organizing Doris’s chronological origin story – which begins <\/span>HERE<\/span><\/a>, as the sixth panel on the page, in flashback. Then it jumps through a couple flashbacks, and THEN – if you want it to be “chronological” – it has to come back to those pages of flashbacks and hit through the NON-FLASHBACK panels of those pages (because those would come AFTER whatever she had been thinking about), and then on from there! In addition to this crazy problem… there were a bunch of other crazy problems I bumped into!<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason it’s been so challenging and so rewarding is this. The whole pseudo-intellectual concept of Doris Danger comics is that they are “old issues” of a series that has been running a long time, and that you, reader, have managed to get your hands on here and there, but not chronologically. This is a “pre-Netflix binge-watching sequentially in order” era. One week you pick up an issue at a super market. Then your friend gives you an old issue. Then you pick another new issue up, a few months later. There are holes in your continuity, and you slowly fill in those holes as you go to a back-issue store and pick up a few more, while continuing to read the new ones you manage to find. I “published” them in this fashion, to remind us of how we used to read comics.<\/p>\n

I added a FREE commentary video on this very above subject, which EVERYONE can enjoy: <\/span>childhood comics chronologies<\/span><\/a>. (I also talked about it on the <\/span>page 000b inside front cover \u2013 Commentary<\/span><\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

For $7 Patrons, I also added our 27th weekly “Diary of a Struggling Comics Artist” entry, YA fiction, Shade the Changing Girl, and Wonder Woman writer <\/span>Cecil Castellucci<\/span><\/a> (approx. 4:00). This Thursday, you can also look forward to an entertaining interview with actor Thomas Jane and Tim Bradstreet about their comics publishing ventures (approx 3:30). Pop over to the <\/span>“Diary” index<\/span><\/a> to see where that gets posted.<\/span><\/p>\n

I apologize it’s a bit light on “bonus features” this week, however I did the <\/span>ol’ giant monster hand<\/span><\/a> pin-up, with its <\/span>variations<\/span><\/a> ($4 Patrons each), and some <\/span>commentary<\/span><\/a> ($1 Patrons) about it. I’ve got one volume one story to go – Buck Mercury’s appearance – and then it’s time to really get the all-new full color pages incorporated into the semi-interactive web comic!<\/span><\/p>\n

Until then… Thanks as always, I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
