Just the other week, one of my favorite perps I went to library school with, BossTweed, asked me how I make PNW’ed.
“A request: one day can you regale your loyal readership with a tale about how PNW’ed is produced? Quickly or slowly? With the aid of Ripple wine or Twinkies? On paper and then scanned or is it bR0N DiGita1? Inquiring minds want to know.”
Your wish is granted! BOOONGG!
Back in the early days, before PNW’ed (TM) was a multi-million dollar empire, I drew every comic by hand. Ha ha! How inefficient! Today, PNW’ed is produced my award-winning studio, comprised of the finest artists that I don’t have to pay. We’re like a family!
But don’t worry, Wallingford’s Favorite Comic Strip (assuming that there are no other comic artists living in Wallingford) is still given the loving attention it has always had.
You’re in luck, because today is the day that our staff artists do the actual drawings! Normally today is lettering day, but our letterer is out with the rickets.
Let’s take a peek into the production studio!
Figure 1: Our head staff artist attempts to finish today’s quota before the rats make off with her bread and water.
Figure 2: For some reason, the staff seems to get weepy when they are made to draw until their fingers bleed.
Figure 3: Enjoy that bread and water, because breaktime is almost over, you.
Figure 4: When morale gets low, I like to bring out the PNW’ed Studios mascot, Broomy.
Figure 5: When the workday ends, the diligent workers are forced back into their closet. See you tomorrow, ladies!
Now you’ve had an exclusive peek into the production studios of PNW’ed. Thanks for visiting!
