It’s a question you’ll read often. At first it felt clever, two-toned and brilliant. Now, I’m not so sure. You’ll find out what I mean in a minute.
This whole thing started with a trip to the Library. Holli wanted to draw some manga, and I couldn’t pass up a trip to the Library. We felt reasonably confident that being able to find manga to read meant we could find books about drawing manga. As it turned out, we were right. With an armful of books, we made our way home. Holli started to draw, and I started to dream.
Suddenly, impetuously, we made the decision to start an online comic. We had no story, no setting, and no plot. All we had was a monocle-wearing octopus who was a programmer and a mostly inappropriate animated TV script about two obscure ocean inhabitants discussing the frustrations of romance. Almost none of the elements that started us on this path made it into this comic, except the programming octopus.
We hope to update monthly. This is all we can dare to promise, since neither of us has ever done this before, and we’re really not sure if we can devise a method for getting these out sooner than that. We aim to publish on the eighth of the month, and the publications will be about eight pages in length each. We’ll do our best, within those eight pages, to weave an interesting, funny, and layered tale for your enjoyment.
What do a monocle-wearing octopus and two obscure ocean inhabitants have to do with this online comic? Can two inexperienced people really pull off an online comic for any reasonable amount of time? What does the title mean? Just what is this comic all about?
Just who is The Suckered?
The answer is coming soon.
