Bootlegs Part 25

Chapter:

In staging this comic, I tried to use a lot of inverse design between the scenes with Schwartz and Galanos, and the scenes with their clones. The base and the background used in the scenes with the originals were both turned upside down for the scenes with the clones. The clones are standing in opposite positions from the original Schwartz and Galanos, and the respective ships of each Galanos are pointed in opposite directions. Just a little thing, but I thought it was neat to do.

Bootlegs Part 26

Chapter:

So, April 1 came and went without me trying to get one over on you or make you go, “WTF?!” I considered various options, but ultimately decided the whole “I’ve been fired from the comic!” storyline a couple of months ago was more than enough. At least for this year. 😉

Isn’t that the way? The more money an employee makes a company, the higher the tolerance there is for any oddities in that employee’s behavior. It’s all about the bottom line!

Bootlegs Part 28

by on April 21, 2012 at 12:01 am
Chapter:

Although this comic was written a long time ago, a scene in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation  called “Tapestry” that I watched this week echoed the feel I was going for here. I don’t want to spoil anything if you haven’t seen what I think is one of the best episodes of that series, but there’s a scene where Picard gets to see what it would be like if someone else was the captain of the Enterprise and he was stuck at a lower rank doing menial, safe jobs. Pretty haunting, frustrating and even chilling. In the case of Schwartz and Galanos, they’ve always been those guys stuck with a lot of the menial jobs. Pays to have some initiative and drive sometimes, doesn’t it? And you certainly wouldn’t want to see yourself eclipse yourself!

Bootlegs Part 29

Chapter:

Those awesome bottles are customs from Brickforge. They even make a dangerous-looking broken bottle, which I have, but I thought perhaps it was just a little too extreme to use in this comic. 😉

Bootlegs Part 30

by on April 27, 2012 at 12:01 am
Chapter:

To give you an idea of how far ahead I plan out stories, the scene of Schwartz and Galanos talking in Schwartz’s yard was shot in January 2011! Some of the sets  I use repeatedly aren’t always accessible to me, so I might shoot current scenes as well as scenes I know are coming up just to have those ready and in the bank. We’re actually coming up to the end of “Bootlegs,” which is the longest story I’ve ever done.

Bootlegs Part 31

by on April 30, 2012 at 12:01 am
Chapter:

One way to tell Galanos and Schwartz apart from their clones (besides the obvious) is that Not-Schwartz occasionally uses incorrect or made-up words in place of the words he means, and Not-Galanos tends to drop words from his sentences. Ah, the imperfections of cloning. Next comic, find out what their big mission is!

Joe Besser – the most forgotten Stooge! (As opposed to Curly Joe, who most casual viewers just think is Curly.) I haven’t see the new Three Stooges movie yet, although I’m interested. But it’s definitely one of those “I’ll watch it when I come across it for free” type of movies.
