Nineteen Letters Long

Dale Tale continues! Stay tuned for more of this story.

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates lately. I think this is my 4th comic in the last month, and i really have no excuse. I'm gonna be trying some new stuff for the future. This is page 1 of my first longer narrative, so stay tuned for page 2 of Dale Tale! Keep it real, y'all.

In response to 1111 comics' comic from yesterday maybe he could become a chef?

Ahh, so it's been a week and I have missed 2 updates. Oops. A while ago I decided I was going to do something big for comic #100, but I couldn't think of anything that wasn't stupid and meta about making comics, so I decided to do a regular comic instead. Anybody seen the movie "Snatch"? Know the general stereotype of a mobster and fixed boxing matches? WOOHOOO COMIC #100!

The body's reaction to embarrassment is embarrassing and that is the definition of cruel.

Been a little while since doing a serious comic. Is this depressing or inspiring? http://nineteenletterslong.com/097

A little lazy on this one. Oh well, I'll be back on track soon enough. 3 days a week until I die! http://nineteenletterslong.com/096

I was totally going to do comics every day this week, but I watched House of Cards instead. Now I can't get it out of my brain.

Thank you! Yeah, using color to help tell the story has been something I've been working on since the beginning. When I first started, color was intimidating and I debated on whether I should even use it. The jokes are the same in black and white, and it would certainly be easier to not use color. I decided to give it a shot anyway, and I started off coloring things in a literal way, so the comic looked like a regular picture. But through a lot of experimenting and practice, I've found that a more limited palette works wonders for contrast and emphasis. I've still got a long ways to go, but working on getting there has been a lot of fun!

New comic tomorrow as well! Maybe daily until sunday, who knows?!?! Comic URL
