(see this comic in its 3-color, RGB glory!)
So I entered my City Paper's comics contest. Didn't win, no biggie. But they publish one of the entry's from me, the comic that was published being above. My beef is they left out the comic's title. Yes, I called it Random Acts of Boredom, which is the title of comics that I do in that non sequitur style of humor--and was the published title, but the subtitle was left out--The Jerk.
The important thing about the comic is that the title is as much a part of this comic as what the panels are. And the title, is essentially a part of the punch line. Without the title, the comic doesn't make sense. There is no context. It's just a random guy, making arbitrary remarks. Sure it's a little strange, which is the kind of comic City Paper goes for, but its not what I wanted to communicate. But something I've found with doing this webcomics thing for almost a year, is that all entertainment is subject to interpretation. Hopefully as printed, The Jerk is interpreted as funny.
A plus though--Free plug! Got the URL in the paper! So welcome any new readers!
