After the Prejudice and Before the Pride?

DATELINE: Jane Austen Goes Gay!       Chase Conner as Mr. Darcy. To take the chaste Jane Austen’s comedy of manners, Pride and Prejudice, and turn it into a gay story is an interesting twist. Director and writer Byrum Geisler has entered the brave, new world fearlessly. After gay pride comes the fall? Before the Fall is tame gay entertainment for an audience with emotional reservations. It will…

So, this is the comic I was talking about. Jesus Christ Time Traveler. I draw it. And colour, and letter it. My friend Chase Conner writes it. Yeah! Cool!

The title says it all. Or most of it. I won’t give more story away, though. Go read it.

Chase approached me with the idea for this when I had just started making comics. I think at the time I had only a two-page story done. I liked the concept and started working on it a little after. The first episode, which is fully up, started being drawn over a year ago. It is, among other things, a project where I’m constantly trying different things. Bringing different influences, different ways of drawing, colouring, lettering. And, one hopes, improving my abilities along the way, too. So things change as the story progresses.

I’ll write more in the future about influences and processes, either here or on my upcoming website, but either way it’ll be linked here.
