Genuine Draft: Year 1
Page No.2



Strip #14 Updated On 10-27-2008
Would these two knights get maidens or wenches? What do you think?


Strip #15 Updated On 10-28-2008
Now the line from Mike, “I think your flaming dingleberrys started a forest fire.” was added after the strip was finished a few weeks later. There’s an upcoming strip that this was leading up too. These first strips were made after the next run and I got new dragons. So I had to make a change late in the game.

Not The Love Boat No.16 to No.19

Strip #16 Updated On 11-29-2008
And here’s the boys. If some of you ever read the hand drawn comics, these guys should be familier, Bob, Joe and Tommy. Of course Julie is taken from the old campy show, “The Love Boat.” As the cruise director.


Strip #17 Updated On 11-30-2008
Big troll, big club, always have the right suggestion.


Strip #18 Updated On 10-31-2008
I was bored one night and set up Vladek’s Castle and The Skeleton Tower and put my knights and skellie armies against each other. Just about every fig was used. So when I was making this strip, I didn’t have to spend much time setting things up. Everyone knows Nick by now.


Strip #19 Updated On 11-01-2008
Ah, who wouldn’t have a good time on an Orc/troll cruise line. Now the background and water effects are not digital, the are scrapbooking paper. Just didn’t get everything lined up right. Didn’t notice ‘til I was processing the photos from the camera.

153rd Alternate Timeline Unit Intro No.20 to No.24

Strip #20 Updated On 11-02-2008
Now, the Agents line. At first I didn’t like them, wasn’t sure what to do with them for the comic. Then while watching Stargate on SciFi, I built a small Stargate and put together this little scene. It’s orignally a MOC, and I took a few pictures of it. Then dismantled it. When I figured out how to use the Agents line, the story came easy. I didn’t want to rebuild or simplify this set, I just modified it for my needs. The puddle is a digital scan of the version I use now.


Strip #21 Updated On 11-03-2008
Now all of the Agent based characters have become the characters from my first comicbook series called, “Freedom Fighters”. A G.I.Joe inspired comic when I was 12ish. Since it’s creation, “FF” has always been a story I’ve kept going. Roughly 25years of evolution. There will be differences, but for the most part they will remain the same, and the agents/FF are the glue to keep the drama and comedy in this world, together.


Strip #22 Updated On 11-04-2008
The red hair for Rose in on of my favorite hair pieces, it’s the only one I have, and it was originally used by several characters in “BattleMark” a Lego comic that became a mess and led to FFT’s creation. I extended the Agents mobile command center to give it more space.


Strip #23 Updated On 11-05-2008
A couple things here, the begining of how I decided to tie this world all together starts. The pinkish deformaties, are the “Fleshie” Lego minifigs that come with the licenced sets which many in the Lego community hate. I think they are ok, but the “Clone War” figs are just creepy. And if you can’t tell I’m a Mac person.


Strip #24 Updated On 11-06-2008
Tyler. Hmmmm??? Pudari??? Solo??? Mystery deepens. And the hair she has is actually the grey piece from the old guy in Exo-Force digitally colored purple, but the blue glass she’s shown on makes it more red.

Welcome To Burgatory, How Can I Hurt You? No.25 to No.40

Strip #25 Updated On 11-07-2008
Welcome to “Burgatory”. It’s the name of the diner and former name of my old comic strip dealing with restaurants. The version shown here is the 3rd revision of the set. I modified the grill and added microwaves and made the right side wall removable. I also added the front door, and parking lot. I didn’t have either a grey beard or white hair so God is multi-folically colored.


Strip #26 Updated On 11-08-2008
I decided to make FFT on the PG-13 side of things. Swearing, some nudity, violence that type of thing. Most of my novels are R type so, I went in the middle here. I’m not a religious person, but I have come to believe that God and Jesus would be pals and more laid back being that they are a few thousand years old. My opinion of course.


Strip #27 Updated On 11-09-2008
One of my favorite webcomics is Irregular Web Comic. He has these strips about Death. His view is there is a Death for everyway you die. Those strips were my inspiration. Here’s a link for you to check them out, just to let you know, he’s updated 7days a week for over 5 years. He has 1800 plus comics in his archive. irregularwebcomic.net
