Crayon Zone

This is the last of the Sunday strips, and to celebrate I thought I’d get out my Crayolas and go mad. The question was, is wax crayon a suitable medium for drawing a comic strip in. The answer is obviously ‘not really’.

Smith is returning to its three times a week schedule starting tomorrow. It’ll be updating on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, like it used to in the days when GoComics’ Comics Sherpa was a credible service. My primary conduit is now Tapas.io, the Korean/Californian comics community. Smith has been running repeats on Tapas ever since Comics Sherpa committed commercial suicide, but now it’s caught up with itself, and has gathered a resonable audience.

On Sundays I’ll be indulging in the Tapas tradition of doing a Q&A – those bonus features will be appearing on this site as well, but Comics Sherpa will just be running the vanilla strip until it finally gets around to its promised (but unlikely to ever happen) relaunch.

See you tomorrow…

Each colour name has been rendered in its own colour according to the official Crayola-Hexadecimal colour conversion chart that you can see here. The writing’s a bit shaky because I had to do it using my graphics tablet.

Fifty shades of Scrumpy

Isn’t a grey crayon called a pencil?
