Tarnation: The Kenny Chronicles

12 12 plot

Garrett Williams — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 05:00:00 +0000

This is a contest entry for the 12-12 project created by the Art & Story hosts. They have a selection of headlines from the December 12th newspaper of some year, and a selection of objects. You randomly choose 3 headlines and 3 objects, then make a comic incorporating them.
These were my headlines:

Miss Martie wins Horse Race
Senator confesses upon retirement
Ukranian leader poisoned

These were my objects:

Black cat
Xylophone
Ham

Tomorrow is most likely the deadline for getting your own comic in the running. The deadline is officially “When Art & Story 52 goes live on the website”, and usually it goes up on a Tuesday. The winner is chosen at random, so artists of all skill levels have an equal chance at winning. The purpose of this is to jog the creativity and have fun. I gotta say, it WAS pretty fun. I love creative challenges. I plan on using this technique for ideas in the future.

Because of this contest, I’m introducing Midnight Jackson about a year sooner than I expected, AND I’m introducing the new color-coded bar on the comic. I plan on jumping around the timeline, so anything before Kenny was born will have a brown title bar so things don’t get too confusing. The black bar will always indicate Kenny’s teenage years, where the comic will spend most of its time.

Spider Arm, Spider Arm…

Admit it, you were looking at Kenny’s crotch in the last panel, weren’t you?

I couldn’t stand once-a-week…

…so updates are now Mondays and Thursdays! They(a.k.a. Webcomics Weekly) say that having more updates gets more readers. Let’s see if we can make that happen! My goal is to eventually go 5 days a week EVERY month(and have merchandise), and without the rushed art I had in July. Those were all done in one day(except one). Yeah.

There’s a fox on a box on a hole…

Bonus comic

This was done for the day after Thanksgiving, the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States(”Black Friday”). I figured since it would be a stressful day, I’d draw up some retail humor.
I worked 5 more Christmas seasons after that, and provided a Black Friday comic for each year, and the year after I left. The subsequent comics were tamer.
