My friend Nate Fergason and I had the idea to do a web comic. Around this time last year, we started Confessions of a Hopeless Romantic. We had a weekly release schedule and new comics were posted every Wednesday for about a little over a month. Every week, we would collaborate on a story, I would write the dialogue, and Nate would do the art. We maintained a twitter for the main character, Roger, that we could use to promote the comic further. The first comic was received well and experienced mild success. It was a dream come true writing a simple comic strip with my best friend, but we got lost trying to create plot when we should have just been making a series of vignettes like Peanuts or Calvin & Hobbes. From that, we started formulating ideas for a new comic, but we only ever got one strip done. The new comic included the two characters from our previous comic that embodied our thoughts and feelings toward the world. We had lots of great ideas, but we both got busy with other things and moved a little apart, because life. Even still, that first strip of the new comic was great and I thought I should share it.
