A Blast From The Past (part 2)

I would like to formally welcome all our new Patrons, and thank you for reading and supporting the comic!

While I try to post something here on Patreon at least once or twice a week, I have no set s...

Apparently you just have to want it hard enough. :)

A Blast From The Past (part 1)

Here's something  for ya. As I was putting my office back together from my little reorganization, I found some old artwork that never got used.

This one was going to a promo pic for one of the ...

Cast Page Update

The cast page http://www.the-whiteboard.com/cast/ has been updated to include Miki, plus a few other small additions to some...

The Streak

As noted earlier, the "Cara Goes Back To Work" strips will start running this week- now with backgrounds and maybe just a tweak or two to the dialogue. :)

And it's fortunate too, as I'll be more or ...

Original version of April 4th:

This isn't the extra I planned to post, but it's something, for the moment. :)

This is the original version of the April 4th, 2017 strip. The idea was that Swamps had a wall of snapshots of Sandy, o...

Quick apology

Sorry ladies and gents, I wasn't able to get another "goes to work" strip up before the weekend, oddly enough because I spent most of this week at work. :)

But, I'll have something special for you o...

Cara Goes To Work, Part 5:

Still a work in progress, still playing with Miki's hair.

Doc.

Quick reminder for Patrons new and old...

For at least the next week, possibly two, we'll be running some of the strips from an upcoming storyline in which Cara goes back to work. We'll get to see an early version of the coffee shop (I'm stil...

Swampy's Picture

I didn't intend to have two butt shots in a row, that was just a happy coincidence. :) Most of this weeks' strips were written and drawn early last fall, and as I was queuing them up, I thought that s...

A Favor Repaid

I owed a reader a small favor for some technical help a while back, and yesterday he said, in effect, "just show us some cheesecake of the new girl and we'll call it even." :) The phrase came from an ...

Cara Goes To Work, Part 4:

Better than the previous strip, but still not happy with the hair.

Next strip should go up Monday, but probably won't be the next one in sequence. Gotta keep some jokes for when it goes live on the ...

Mikittok, part 2:

I apparently can't add a second image to a post, so here's a new post. :)

As noted below, I whitened the hair, which I think looks better still, and, since I'm still terrible with proportions after ...

Mikittok!

While she's still not really what I had in mind at the beginning, I think this version should work out fairly well. The main issue was that a full black for the body coloring simply wasn't going to wo...

Quick character sketches

Still trying to work out a decent character design for the other baristas.  I've tried a couple of versions of the husky, and nothing's quite what I had in mind, yet. Been toying with the idea of...

Cara Goes To Work, Part 3:

Still kind of a work in progress: Still playing with the colors of the shop (leaning toward browns and reds) and working on some background images for various scenes.

And yes, the first look at one ...

Cara Goes To Work, Part 2:

Still a work in progress, and needs a couple more hours of shading and detail work, but I ran out of time. Gives a first look at the shop- it's not a 'chain' coffee shop, and it's in an older building...

Cara Goes To Work, Part 1:

Something a bit special for current and new Patrons: we'll be running a few strips from a little later in the storyline, following Cara as she goes back to work at the coffee shop.

You ladies and ge...

Thursday's comic!

Sorry about the missing update, I'm unable to log into my site. I have a call in to my host, but that's about all I can do right now. In the meantime, here's the strip for 03-09-2017.

Thanks for rea...

2013 is now fully colorized!

That wasn't too bad, most of them were already largely colored, and just needed a bit of shading or background. There were a few more than I'd originally throught, with a total of 14: 1657, 1658, 1682...

And done!

Strips 1524 and 1528 are colored, completing all of 2012. And that catches us all the way up to Halloween of 2013! Stand by!

Doc.

Colorization continues!

Okay, apparently I goofed with yesterday's update and needed a new one-panel strip, rather than just coloring an old one. 1521 is now an all-new comic:

Colorization Theater:

Continuing to catch up on the uncolored and/or unfinished strips,  I've added 1517, 1518, 1519, 1520, 1521, 1522 and 1523, as well as button strips button04 and button07.

1520 and 1521 also fix...

Recoloration continues!

Keeping up on the outstanding Milestone, I was able to mildly rework strip 1509 (I didn't like the rectangular word bubbles) and fully color strips 1513, 1514, 1515, and 1516.

Just 14 more- some of ...

Alternate punchline...

Here's the original punchline panel for Friday's strip. I think the canon one is much better. :)

Doc.

Comfort Zone

Swamps may have had an ulterior motive...

Thinking too hard...

Swamps forgets to carry the one and gets sidetracked.

(Extra artwork stolen at random from the Internet. Apologies to whoever the original artist is.)

Doc.

Continuing Milestone Update:

As one of the last Milestones was to go back and color or finish coloring any as-yet undone strips back to the start of the color, I've been trying to  catch up with that as I have time.

I had ...

The Unasked Question

The one followup question Cara perhaps should have asked. :)
