I love doing these little gag-a-day strips. They’re fun to write, and a challenge to boil the joke down into the limited space here. The story arcs I write are a lot of fun as well, but for entirely different reasons. I’ll go into that some other time, I think. The hardest part of posting these little one-offs is that I have to constantly fight an urge to expand on them.
This is, of course, why I started the PDQs. Not only do they help satisfy my need to write longer and more involved comics, but they also have a more raw art style to them, and they let me explore deeper ideas than these little strips do. That isn’t to say that I view HHFM as less communicative, rather I view it as a very tight little package, a capsule of humor to lighten your day and relieve stress, which is something I don’t want to intrude on the more involved PDQs.
As always, VOTE! Click here or over on the left, and Thanks so much!
