to be honest, i preferred the hatched black/drawn by hand look. it felt more personal, you know? like it was more connected to your life, because i could actually imagine someone drawing something like that on a piece of paper while they sat in class or something.
don't get me wrong, the solid colours look really nice, it's just that i thought the older stuff just fit in better.

You bring up a great point... I was doing the whole drawing thing in class with these, and now I'm merely penciling rough draft so I don't forget what happened.
What do you think about maybe JUST the new style on the weekends or something?
i think mixing up the styles would be pretty cool, that way people would get to see the nice, clean looking drawings, but you'd still be able to show off that "classic allan" style.
but don't go on just my opinion, some people might prefer the newer stuff more than the old ink ones.
I agree with you, Grim. That old rough style brought a lot of character to the table. But, the new, clean style is nice too. Seeing both would be cool.

Alright, I think what I'll do is:
Regular sketchy style Monday-Friday
Clean Digital 3-color style Saturday-Sunday
There are a few options for full color/shading that I'm currently considering for Sunday, but those are still under consideration.

Thanks, Mango. I'll be sure to start using both styles ASAP!
I demand to know more about how you punched that guy in the head.
He told people about his comic?
exact details about fist to head contact.
As my metacarpals and phalanges compacted to his left zygomatic bone at approximately 17.8816 m / s, a swift "tud" could be heard. He spun rightwards, away from me, as his black-rimmed glasses fell to the floor, bent and skewed.
On his knees breathing heavily he mustered up not a word, shocked by the moments-ago event. I turned with my head held low and sauntered away--I had let my temper get a hold of me and I knew that trouble this way soon came.

Uh oh Allan, looks like you got on Scott of VGCats' links page. If he manages to put that on the front page you best prepare yourself for a huge traffic spike.
When I first this post I was like ... hmm, looks so crappy, but then I began to read them and like everyone else. I think I'm falling in love and we come to love not by finding perfection, but by learning to see imperfections perfectly. I love this comic!

I don't suffer from Insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
Allan I had a dream last night that it was your birthday and everyone from the internet was invited. Everyone from the internet was represented by people I know. The party was at my house, or at least somewhere I had a bed and desk. I bought you a DVD and I made you a card by drawing on paper with chocolate syrup squirted from a squeeze bottle. It was a two-panel comic; in the first panel, you said "My name is Allan."
In the second panel you said "It's my birthday!". There was going to be someone else in the second panel saying "Allan I want you inside me" but I forgot to do this.
So there's a party. And so many people are there. I am telling my sister about the DVD I bought you, when I realize that I can't find the DVD. I am so upset. I look all over for it, finding nothing. "I lost Allan's birthday present!" I say.
I find you and give you the card. I apologize for losing your gift. The rest of the party goes well, and you say that the party will continue at your house, where everyone is once again invited. I follow everyone to your house. You go into your room with one of your friends and as I pass by the room, I hear you say "Yeah, I stole it." I press my eye to the keyhole, and see you holding the DVD I had lost. I would have given it to you anyway, Allan! It was your birthday!
But even though I had heard it from your own mouth, I didn't believe it. I knew that the real Allan would never steal. For the rest of the night, I thought this to myself.
Later on in the dream, I found my dog, which in the dream I had lost a few months before.

I was just scanning through the forum and was like "Allan? The Allan which I am aware of?" and sure enough it is! Sweet!
Obviously I read Allan and enjoy it profusely (obvious to Allan anyway, since this is pre-established information for him, and now it is obvious to others because... I just said it.)
Right now I'm having a tiny bit of trouble reading the text at times, but it's still way more legible than my handwriting is:). Looks promising so far.

So I was away for about a week and just now caught back up.
I had the EXACT same reaction to "The Truman Show" when I saw it. That movie seriously fucked my mind for years afterward. I'd be alone doing something and I'd be like "...well shit, what does the audience think about that?" And yes, I still get flashes of it too. Good to know I'm not the only one :P

He does look like he's sniffing the bill- not sure if that was intentional.
Thank you!

Another wasted friendship.
Another Friday.
Best post ever?
Yes. Yes it was.
Reported for awesome.
So far I am enjoying it. Reached the start of guest comics as you go to your great aunts funeral, I look forward to reading how the concert went.
I don't suffer from Insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
YOU ARE IN FOR QUITE A SURPRISE!

Upfish, you can dream about me any time.
Tell me, what did I sound like in your dream?
Obviously I read Allan and enjoy it profusely (obvious to Allan anyway, since this is pre-established information for him, and now it is obvious to others because... I just said it.)
So yeah, just felt like acknowledging that.
In which you watch my shameful life and hopefully laugh at me.
This made me laugh way harder than I should have.
My sense of humor is weird it seems.
I can't recall.
I remember that the DVD was Street Fighter. Blanka was there and I think he was holding a glowing ball of ki.
Website design is pretty rad as well man.
steam
I would be thrilled, Allan.
And quit that Age of Conan.
Oh ye of little faith.
I just hit comic 208. I felt instantly ill.
I don't know how you've sucked me in like this. I'm grateful, but at the same time... oh man.
if only for the sole reason that i couldn't trust myself to not exaggerate on the events of my life because my life is incredibly boring
I don't suffer from Insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
Christ though, it makes me realise how dull my teenage years were.
i dig your style, got anything not from the comic?
