Maul – another short-lived web comic

July 4th, 2008

As is my wont I’ve started work on another short-lived comic entitled Maul. It’s pretty much a carbon copy (plagiarism) of nrvs web comics though I did clear it with nrvs himself, so no lawsuits then.

For some reason I tend to be quite serious about the aesthetics of comics. I hate Garfield though some modification elevates it to the godly level of Peanuts. I consistently enjoy Basic Instructions, but somehow the only the first episode of the relentlessly aesthetically pure Adventures of Confessions of Saint Augustine Bear really blew me away[1].

The aesthetic of nrvs web comics (and therefore of Maul) is less about the punch line and all about being meticulous about the delivery.

Or maybe it is exactly because the first episode is so unbelievably brilliant that none of the follow ups quite made the grade.
