New Cblack comic: The Story of Chip

Cblack has returned with a free comic over at TGComics called, The Story of Chip. This is a spin-off of College Life, a pay comic at TGComics. Femur says that you do not need to read College Life to enjoy The Story of Chip. Still, I would recommend buying College Life because it is a fine comic and well worth the $12.95. As I write this, only part one has been released. The following two parts will be released over the next two weeks.
Update: Part 2 was released on 9/6/2015. The story is heating up and I am eagerly awaiting Part 3!

House 3

I don't know about you, but I have this tendency to build things up in my mind. The longer I wait for them, the greater my expectations. Quite often I am disappointed because the product, despite being good, can't live up to my over inflated expectations, like "The World's End". Occasionally it surpasses my expectations, like "Mad Max: Fury Road". "House 3" was everything I'd hoped it would be and more.

For one thing, it was a whopping 709 pages, larger than the two previous comics combined. While the first two comics focused on small groups of people transforming mostly at the titular house. This comic has at least ten people changing all around town. If you like the good girl to bad girl theme, this comic is definitely for you. There are a couple transformations that are a little cruel, but the story is all about a demon reaping vengeance for crimes of the past, so it is to be expected.

Anticipation...

I'm hitting refresh on five different web sites every couple minutes as I write this. So many comic sequels ready to drop, all of them I'm dying to read. In order of likely release they are:

House 3 by Keshara (update: released 8/25/2015)
Use coupon code: FWD15 to get 15% off your order. FYI, I've been told that coupons come out of Lulu.com's end, not the artists.
I recommended House and House 2 in a post a couple months ago. They are both for sale on Keshara's lulu.com store and well worth the $3 price tag. I think that anyone who likes the Bethany stories will like these comics. If you are unsure, you can read Bare Witness for free and if you like it, you will certainly like the House series. On 8/12/2015 Keshara said that House 3 would be released in a week or two.

The Blossoming part 7 by VIP Captions (update: released 8/22/2015)
VIP Captions has a lot of 3-D comics on his site and they are hit and miss for me. The transformations can get too out of control and outrageous for me. Not always, but sometimes. I do like the current series. It is a seven part series and the first six parts are already out.

10 rules for writing first drafts

I found the following image by Demian Farnworth on the iFunny app.



1. Barricade the door. It must be just you, the ink, and the paper.
   I find it best to write in a journal. I've tried writing directly into the computer, but I write much slower that way. I find it ironic that I write faster when I, in effect, write every word twice.
