When Kriske told me he was working on an online comic, I thought, okay, this'll be fun, a little manga Kriske walking around in a cartoon version of his religious high school. Well, "Magic Carp" has officially debuted, and it's not what I was expecting -- in a good way!
Magic Carp is more art than cartoon, and in that vein, episode #1 is more like a sketchbook page than anything else. I look forward to seeing where this goes, and whether Kriske will succumb to having such ordinary things as characters or a narrative.
So good luck, Magic Carp! The champagne bottle is broken in your honor.
Thanks!

It might come across as pretentious, but I wanted to start the comic in a sort of non narrative story telling style.
But yeah, i'll exclusively reveal that next week's comic features Virginia Woolf and a Mustache man.
I feel honored to have been able to see that page in production, firsthand.
ReplyDeleteKriske, you are one crazy kid.
