What you choose to construct on it is another matter. Let's just say that a table of doubt and confusion which is lodged wobblishly in the shifting sands of early childhood psychology is there, solid as you or I. The table itself and its construction is an interesting story, but I won't get into it now because you, my listener, are not my shrink and I am not your patient. I know this rat because I've created him at my work table of doubt and confusion. It's a wooga-booga rat collaged from newspaper articles, soundbites from TV, bytes from the blogosphere and shifting existential sand. Check the Science and Lore sections for articles on the technology and history of our world (updated on Tuesdays and Wednesdays), and the Novel section where IвЂ™ll be uploading the story in novel form (updates on Fridays for the story told that week in the comic).Д®DIT: This feedback led us to make a prologue with less dialogue and more action to be a good lead in to the comic.Now an offering from commentator Andrei Codrescu. We are in fairly beginning stages of the project still, but weвЂ™ll be uploading new content almost every day. ItвЂ™s a balance that IвЂ™m still working on, but I know with time weвЂ™ll get it figured out.ДЄnyways, weвЂ™re excited about some of the increased interest from readers. You wonвЂ™t have to peak around huge text bubbles during a battle sequence, but when the main character is having an internal battle with his past and memories and internal demons and such, and another main character is trying to talk to him and help him feel better, there will of necessity be a lot of dialogue. There is so much awesome story to get to that IвЂ™ve been trying to make the first bit happen quicker, with more panels per page and lots of text to help you get a feel for the characters as quickly as possible.ДЄs I get better at writing and as we get farther into the story and the action, the pages will shift to having much less dialogue and more visuals to show the story. ItвЂ™s an adaptation of a novel, with a very large story (see the web graphic novel FreakAngelsВ for what weвЂ™re kind of aiming for) Just what I have written already in the story will take us a couple hundred pages of graphic novel in allВ likelihood.

This isnвЂ™t going to be just a web-comic, with little text and a punchline each time. That said, IвЂ™m going to be constantly working on improving my craft, and at better applying it to the graphic novel medium. IвЂ™m not an amazing author, and IвЂ™m working on that (when not studying for medical school), but I was getting pretty good feedback and approval from both my writing group and Brandon himself on the quality of my writing, so I know itвЂ™s not horrible. Because of that, the story so far is very text and dialogue heavy, because that is how I write. ThatвЂ™s what weвЂ™ve been working on the past several months, turning my story into a graphic novel.

As I did this, my brother and I decided it would be fun to make a graphic novel out of the story, because it could look hecka sweet. Our only real assignment was to write 50000 words of a story. The big problem for me is that this story began as a project in a creative writing class I took in undergrad from fantasy author Brandon Sanderson. This isnвЂ™t the first time I heard it (my wife said the same thing), but multiple people saying the same thing means I should really pay attention.

Essentially, he thought that there was a ton of text, making the pages too full and busy. I received some interesting feedbackВ from reddit user deviantbono the other day about the amount of text on the first couple of pages.
