Chapter 1: The Arrival
Slug Trails
My advice to anyone starting out on the long road of becoming a successful web cartoonistering person:
- Invest in quality pens. Don't scrimp. Your pen is your voice, your friend and your lover.
- Draw, constantly, every single day, on everything, including the cat.
- Get regular rest while doing time for defacing public property.
- Eat efficiently. Try Taco bell where you can eat for a dollar and use the salsa packets to draw the cute girl in the booth next to you.
- Don't draw her naked.
- If you do draw her naked, make sure her bulky boyfriend isn't jealous.
- Buy quality pens that taste good.
- Give yourself proper challenges to draw, like moving animals or falling busses.
- Never surrender your schedule. Work, food, sleep, hygine, they're all secondary.
- learn that it's CTRL-C then CTRL-V.
But most importantly, drink your ovaltine.
