I’ve realized a few things about Grimmsy.
1) Noone seems to want to GET PAID DECENT MONEY TO DRAW A FEW SIMPLE PICTURES for me. I mean, I guess if you really hate me I admire your integrity, but…if not, why don’t you want money, artist people?
2) Trey Parker and Matt Stone couldn’t draw either; they did fine.
3) Terry Gilliam’s Python animation stunk: it was a collection of cutouts pasted together and edited slightly. That’s it. And the current state of stock images is a LOT better than it was in ’69.
4) If noone wants to draw for me, given 2 and 3, I’m gonna just have to get some stock images (that are free to use), maybe do some cut-and-pasting, maybe do a bit of basic editing (it’s easier and easier these days) and do Grimmsy myself. It won’t be a brilliant work of art, but who cares? The point is the scripts, not the pictures. And after a short time, I’ll have enough stock images to re-use for most scenes, I’ll get better at pasting, editing, etc…
5) Grimmsy’s adorable. You know you love him.
6) Comic still coming in September!
6.9) I’m gonna keep a running total of how much money I would have paid someone for Grimmsy as I do more and more strips. Just for fun.
