StripShow Episode 1: Generically Speaking

December 7th, 2006 by Mike

So here it is kids, the very first episode of my new startpause.com strip, StripShow. It promises some half-ass Photoshop, the occasional drawing or two, and content that amuses at least the two of us, the odd egret or two, and maybe even you. The strip will be presented in the form of Java slides. Why? Because it’s tasty! There will always be some more info and background after the jump if you choose to indulge in such delights. So without further ado, click away:

[Click first big image to start show, mouse over edge for next panel, Java must be enabled]

[who would win in a fight?]

This episode was inspired by a rather heated and interesting debate in this thread of the forums about, among other things, who was the more generic looking character of the aforementioned two. So go check it out and join the debate squiddies.

In terms of design of the strip, bear with me while I work out the kinks and what I like best in terms of formatting, borders, image size etc. but one thing I do know is that I love what the java image function allows for such a strip. I can basically make images as large as I deem fit and have the panels show up as a slide show which will lead to some interesting concepts in terms of delivery I’m already tooling around with. So I hope you enjoy it, and look for more whenever the ideas strike!
