Awesome Marcus Ninja - Volume 1 (with apologies) Behind the Scenes: This is actually one of my favourite strips from Volume 1. Since no one was editing my writing I could take risks on the punchlines and go for something less traditional. I still think that better art would have sold this more, but I like the idea of an abrupt ending like that... I usually write one every 20 scripts or so just to keep things interesting. This strip also leads into one of my favourite Marcus jobs which is at "The Botany Barn" a sort of White Rosesque sort of gardening supply store. Technically he still works there where we stand on Volume 2 though I have a whole series based around how he rises and falls within that organization. You'll also notice Joe the Boxa my radio-show alter-ego up in the corner of the strip. I get a huge kick out of drawing huge nosed bald men with fat rolls on the back of their neck. Sue me.
