Working for a Living
EDIT - This post was originally published on Jan 25th, but interrupted a storyline, so in the spirit of continuity, I moved it here.
Sorry… I didn’t have time to update today, so instead, I’m breaking the continuity with a comic I made for a company I work for. This one won’t be on the site for long (since I plan on deleting it when I post the new JP&TM on tuesday) but I figured it might help lessen the sting of the lack of comic.

I like it, but then again I am a sucker for word play. “…canvas the neighborhood…” really gave me some great visuals.

The color is a nice touch too.

Now this one just makes me want to see more color. I have been watching the Resident Evil flicks and this one brought me right back to Umbrella.

Why do guys in Marketing never have a clue?

Aside from the JP&TM banner and JP&TM ads, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything of yours in color before. It looks good. Man, your details really pop in color—like the shining glass effect on the window.
And I like word play too. Thumbs up on the joke.

Wow, Jim. This is a great strip. The wordplay is done just right, with a nice rhythm leading you to the punchline in the last panel. Also, as much as I love the complexity of the art in “Jetpacks,” the relative simplicity of the art in this one makes it look really great. And the color! It really complements your work nicely…nice work.
Is it just me or does anyone see a resemblance between the art in this one and in Rob Harrell’s “Big Top”?

Ha! Awesome comic. Great pacing. Damn! Why didn’t I think of it first.

Yes, Pine Tree…I see some Big Top alikes…
Great comic…

I, too, notice some resemblance to Big Top.
Please do not delete this strip. It’s too well done for that. Put it in an extras section or something.
