Technically the premiere of @$$hole as I originally invisioned it, this strip isn't very funny...but, it was very necessary for 2 reasons: 

1)  To motivate me into making comics again on a regular basis, and
2)  To top Laura on her binary code comment that she left me all those months ago on MySpace.



Next week's strip will be much more funny, and more in line with what I'm trying to do with this comic: Weekly comedy, not necessarily connected into a singular story, with emphasis on the funny. 

The early comics are always difficult, as you have to introduce your characters and the world in which they exist.  Since I don't often draw backgrounds, it's extra difficult for me to establish this.  I'm trying to limit myself in the beginning, so readers can become familiar with the world in which @$$hole takes place - as well as the people in it.  And there are a LOT of people in my world.

This comic is also technically the 30th page for @$$hole, if I count the guest strips.  However, I'm not going to start bragging about maintaining a weekly schedule until I've done it for a years straight...and then maybe I'll think about increasing the number of weekly strips to 2 per week, assuming I can maintain this level of productivity. 

In any case, enjoy the comic and let me know what you think by going to the forums or my MySpace blog.  Later!
