It's Been Such a Long Time

GrayMatters_39

6/20

The comic is what? Two weeks late now? I really hope this one was worth the wait. I hadn't worked on Gray Matters for about two weeks before, and I've gotten really ambitious with it. It's inescapeable, it seems. I don't even work on Aristotle anymore because I put so much effort into GM. I'll promise that if I'm going to be doing a major Gray Matters like this I'll see if I can get a nice light Out of Context out every week. I find those take much less effort to accomlish.

I've found a few new comics, such as Wasted Talent, a journal comic by Angie (she either doesn't give her full name, or I can't find it >_< ). Like many journal comics, it is often based on the bizarre and cute relationship antics of Angie and Trevor, and other hijinks that ensue as she studies to be an engineering major, and, more recently, enter the workforce. The art is heavily anime influenced, and shows decided improvement as the strip progresses, proving to be one of the best drawn journal comics in recent strips.

Bellen is another relationship comic, where Ellen is a balance to Ben's depression, confidence issues, and general angst. Ben has a hard time seeing the world as a place worth living in when Ellen isn't around. The earlier strips aren't much to speak of, but the most recent run are well drawn and very intelligent and insightful.
