It’s Up! Kind’a, Sort’a…

You’ve seen it before, but since I’m in Pimp Daddy mode again, I’ll bring it out for more shameless whoring. CHARLIE’S MONSTERS IS A GO! Perhaps this will make me more interesting, I can now say I have a web comic. Or write one, anyway. So if you click on this particular Creatures Features page here, you’ll find the same Charlie’s Monsters comics the girlfriend and I whipped together and that she put up on her website.

Unfortunately, this also means it’s the last time you’ll ever see a complete 3 page story for free. #2, #3 and all subsequent stories appear on the website in sample form, with the complete comic being available only if you subscribe. If you’re anything like me, this means you’ll NEVER see it because you don’t have a credit card and can’t buy jack shit off the ‘net, but then most of you aren’t quite so technophilic in theory but luddite by economic necessity, so maybe all is not lost.

In a day or so, the Charlie’s Monsters page will be more complete. I’m writing up the bios for the girlfriend and myself. Her request is that I make sure I mention she likes cats. I am happy to report that at least I am shaping up to have a cliche writer’s bio, since at last count my resume goes something like this: Worked as an amusement ride operator, worked in a hospital kitchen, worked as a suicide distress line operator, worked as a copywriter in advertising, worked as journalist and schmoozed in restaurants and with minor local celebs, worked as a writer/producer/director in television and hopped the globe, has had ad copy, short stories, and articles published, has written two books, is represented by an agent, currently works as an editor with a video game magazine and now is writing a web comic. And likes cats.

Which puts things in better perspective, as even though I am doomed to not be interesting, at least life is good. Ideally, I’ll one day be able to name drop and mention that Neil-O and Big Bill are my bestest friends ever, that’s guaranteed interest factor right there…

There is also huge, massive, UNBELIEVABLE news regarding the girlfriend, but alas, I am slapped with a Nondisclosure agreement and threats of sleeping on the couch, and so cannot say what I am talking about, though no one said anything about not building up the hype now…
