I really love the mix of sketchy stick figures and detailed backgrounds and dynamic panels. It's super expressive. Can't wait to see more!
you find some interesting things, lol
omg, I was literally laughing so hard till it said that he died of cancer.
Yes, I see...
Before I ever put pencil to page for Andy Christ, I spent a lot of time writing backstory and lore. It was written and re-written so many times over so many years that it's never existed in one comprehensive document. Ideas were abandoned or repurposed and a lot of it probably contradicted itself. And honestly, it was a bit of a time waster. It's easy to write backstory because you can skip over a lot of detail. It became a crutch I used to put off ever drawing anything.
Because I'm well aware of the temptation to disappear into writing that stuff, I've been regarding lore as something to avoid. Having my own vague context for how Andy was born, what the Tower is, why the moon looks like it was destroyed, all that stuff, that's enough to just write the characters' lives and live with them in the moment. Andy's six, he has no idea what happened before he was born, he's never lived outside the orphanage, so you shouldn't know too much more than he does. You should discover the world with him.
BUT I've decided today, after having written six of these books, that it's time for me to go back and figure that stuff out. The worst thing that happens is nothing. The best thing that happens is I have a solid base to help me contextualize upcoming events in the story. I know what Andy does not and I know when I would like him to find out.
So I just spent the last six hours typing out a comprehensive timeline of events stretching back about 50 years before the story began. I'm having a beer and I wanted to tell someone and I think you all are the only people on the Internet who care. Thanks, guys.

Awesome! I would like to see that timeline. I'm kind of a sucker for that sort of thing!
enjoy that fucking beer man, you are a godamn hero!
I agree with Damionion, it's one of my favorite things to get a glimpse of! I hope it does help you in the end ^^ Don't over work yourself though!
Thanks, friends!
It's FULL of gigantic spoilers so putting it out now would kill a lot of the fun. But it's definitely the kind of thing you'd release in some kind of post-mortem retrospective, so maybe after I've done like sixty more Andy Christ books, I'll release 'em. We'll all be old by then though. :)
Another update's coming on Thursday. :)

So I've decided on updates every Monday. For weeks when the pages are split in two or (occasionally) three parts, I'll do more updates on Wednesdays and Thursdays. You'll have the option to read full pages right away every Monday on www.andy-christ.com, in their original format.
I'm working on getting everything together to start selling the full book for you Andy Christ superfans. You will be able to purchase prints of Episode 6 on andy-christ.com well before the book is finished coming out here for free. They're very pretty, very much worth owning. And of course, you can still buy back issues right now. They come with a bunch of extra material. The first two have bonus Andy Christ short stories you can't read anywhere online and they all have rough sketches and stuff.
And if you like what I do, you might want to follow me on Instagram. I put out a lot of preview panels of stuff you won't see here for weeks or months. www.instagram.com/andychristcomic
