Not a lot to say... I lost my original introductions so it becomes
hard to recoalesce exactly what went on in my mind. I'll try to keep
it as simple as possible.
blancmange
is my second webcomic. The first was a rather mediocre attempt in
an artistic sense in '01. Following the mainstay of Reality-Based
comics such as RealLife and of course the inspiration for this second
attempt; Mac Hall. I knew that the circle of people I consider to
be friends are about as insane as most groups in Reality-Based comics,
so I didn't see why I shouldn't use them.
From
my last webcomic, the scripts were never really all that bad, but
because of time constraints, the drawing was abysmal. I wanted to
streamline the whole ordeal, and borrow from my partner in crime's
sense of humour so as with a lot of webcomics, the artist can write
scripts, but much prefers the drawing.
The
comics are roughly based on the goings on of our little cadre/s. The
personalities of the characters are accurate, although as normal with
people on the Internet, exaggeration obviously occurs. As usual -
some of the stories are mostly based on real life, some aren't, and
some are spawned from massive sleep-deprivation or whimsy.
Although
the characters have changed as the comics go on, it isn't that hard
to recognise who is who. We try to use names as much as possible,
and I haven't had any complaints asofar. The Dossiers page is there
just in case there is any question.
As
mostly happens, the theme of the comic is as our interests. The title
of the comic itself came from one - being British humour. Moreso,
there's themes like Anime, gaming, pen and paper Role Playing, and
dribbles and drabs of various other sources of interest.
To
say any more than this would be pointless. What you see is what you
get. Go and read and enjoy.
