Running With Scissors began as an attempt to provide regular
content to my site by creating quick and dirty little cartoons. My
thought was that I could easily keep fresh material on-line and
experiment with some alternate media and production techniques, without
the kind of time investment that a full-blooded comic demands. Boy, was
I wrong! It turned out that the "quick and dirty" cartoons
required plenty of production time on their own, and the results
were...well, they stunk to high heaven. I did a very few of them and then
abandoned the project altogether.
Running With Scissors rev.2.0 was a slightly re-engineered
spin on this idea. Instead of presenting original content which demands
additional creative and production time, the feature presented
creative content generated as a direct by-product of my work as a
design professional; namely, meeting notebook doodles. Over the past couple
of years, however, I've found this source of material waning, so I was
once again forced to desperately cast about for a new schtick.
Revision 3.0, therefore, more exclusively delves into my sketchbooks,
with, perhaps, an occasional new piece here and there. This feature may
also display images from ancient history from time to time, like college
notebooks, or even some sneak previews of future projects. (You intellectual-property thieves
had better keep in mind, though, that this is all copyrighted, and a good
half of my immediate family are high-powered lawyers who would
just love the chance to $&!%# you up so bad...)
Please bear in mind that, as the Author and Webmaster, and as a free-thinking
slightly-left-of-center American, I also reserve the right to spout
off on any subject I so choose, on any given week's submission. You
are welcome to disagree, but do know that I am genetically
predisposed to being right.
And, if you were thinking about the "Three thousand seven hundred and twenty to one"
contest but never worked up the courage to enter, you've missed your chance. Bummer.
