Design Nerd Alert!
April 19th, 2007Okay, okay – I finally have a new comic up!! I know, it’s been months. I can’t even begin to go into everything that has gone on with me. I got a new job, I moved (continents!), had to come back to the states for a week, and back again. I’ve been getting set up in my new digs, and finally got around to drawing a new cartoon. I have a bunch of ideas that I’m hoping to use – things should look a little more lively around here. I’m also working on a re-design that will incorporate all the work that I do.As for the cartoon itself: You have to be in graphic design to really get it. “Hanging punctuation” is what it’s called when a punctuation mark is at the end of a line of text, and it’s sort of pushed out to the side so that the letters make a more complete looking column of text. If you want a more full explanation of the idea, click here. So the cartoon is really just a silly pun- but I like puns.

Great artwork! I really like that you chose a capital D for the policeman, he definitely looks like he’s had his share of donuts, and somehow the h looks very much like a journalist. Great job!

Hi Chip,
Actually, I’ve been checking your site for updates regularly. (I’m a big fan) I forgot you have rss, I’ll have to add you to my netvibes page.

I love it too! The restrained use of color gives it livelyness without being overwhelming.And neat way of making letterforms anthropomorphic! Can’t wait for more!! T.
