One year ago today, March 22nd, 2020, I sent an email to two friends with a lengthy body and one image attached. The subject line read "Comics!" The email started: "Here is the first one!" It was followed by a long description of who the characters are and what superpowers they have. The characters listed are only a half of the ones in the story now, and those are only the ones who are based off of my friends. There are also tons of characters I created (villains and allies alike) to aid in the story lines. Size isn't the only thing that's changed. My artwork has improved immensely over the year. If you look at that first comic I made compared with the one released today, you can see an big difference. I've also improved the plots of the stories of my comic strip a lot over the years. I've gotten a lot better at planning out storylines and plot moments than I was when I first started. Often I would have to reroute an entire storyline because I forgot it was one of the character's birthdays and I wanted to make a birthday special for them. I've also over time created much more complicated story threads. While in the first one I wrote there was just the main plot (even if it did have a twist at the end with a mind controller being behind all the bank robberies) while now I have many threads weaving together, some even over multiple stories. (I may write more about plot later, let me know in the comments if that sounds interesting!) I think it's interesting to look back on what I created so long ago. Below I put the first 20 editions of this comic strip! While the art wasn't so great, I still think they were actually pretty funny! Enjoy!
