I’ve been batting around the idea of starting a second web comic – something more informal than Theater Hopper. Not exactly experimental, but less confined by deadlines or expectations.
Lately I’ve been feeling the need to branch out a little bit, but I really like the direction Theater Hopper is going. So it might be time to do something new.
I really enjoy The Journal Comic and have just discovered the Urban Transmission Project. I’m thinking of doing a journal comic along those same lines.
I’d probably follow The Journal Comic’s template in terms of style and update schedule (of course the art wouldn’t be as awesome). But I’m particularly struck by the ellegance of black and white drawings. Plus, I’d like to have the flexability of updating when I feel like it and working in panel arrangements that aren’t so tethered to the 4 panel job I have going here.
I don’t know. I guess I’m just thinking out loud.

Mitch over at Nothing Nice to Say is running a week of guest strips while he gets on his feet after his move to Texas. Today’s guest comic came from Liz Prince, who draws and writes a positively adorable journal comic to her LiveJournal account.
I read through all of the comics that she’s posted and instantly fell in love with it. Reading her work is enough to inspire me to change gear and do a comic strictly on my life. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Probably ever since I stumbled onto Drew Weing’s old journal comic a few years ago. I also used to really enjoy Life With Leslie.
In many respects, Theater Hopper is a journal comic albeit with a vary narrow focus. Anything that doesn’t revolve around myself, Cami or Truman is the filler that keeps things “on topic.”
It would be nice to branch out someday and maybe do another small comic just for myself. But as things are, between my regular job, taking care of a house and being a husband, I just don’t have the time in my life to accommodate it. It feels like I barely have enough time to do Theater Hopper and that’s a damn shame.
