Awesome Marcus Ninja - Volume 1 (with apologies) Behind the Scenes: Once again the numbering system gets hopelessly effed up as we jump from #8 to #10... Just goes to show how fly by night these strips were... a lot of them were drawn away from resources where I could check last issue number because I was in class or something. This one's another favourite of mine... I get a kick out of how Marcus just puts the uniform on over his ninja clothes... After this strip it was settled in my mind that no job would ever convince him to take off his costume, only cover it with other things like ties or whatnot. This one I went with another offbeat punchline but tried to make up for it with subtle jokes like "conifers, $7" and the sheath sound effect. I also kind of get a kick how she's looking at this pathetic little plant and thinking about what a tough decision it is. Up in the top corner is another strip character I have been working on for a while now called Weiner and Foghat... the premise is a bald man who strikes a deal with a protoplasmic space entity which rides around on his head mimicking hair in return for protection. No I don't do LSD. And if anyone knows how to draw a fertilizer bag, let me know, because I can't to save my life.
