Corporate Creative Department, panel 1


Corporate creative departments have always been a target market for the company I work for. They tend to have more money to spend on a regular basis than home studios so one corporate client can provide the income that would otherwise require multiple small clients. Corporate clients usually already had an IT department but that department usually had PC/Windows expertise and rarely felt comfortable supporting the Apple computers that the creative departments used. Often the IT departments were glad to have us take the Mac support off their plate.

This strip was the second of three comic strip ideas that my boss had me pull out of the larger, abandoned comic book. I don’t remember what our hero here is upset about but we can assume that it’s computer related. It probably has to do with server issues. Back in 2002 it was usually only our large clients that even had servers.

Good Ol’ What’s His Name


I never remember this poor kid’s name. I’m sure I wrote it down somewhere but that doesn’t do me any good this morning. He’s Brian Daniels’ other friend. He has an older brother who is a jock who has occasionally dated Brian’s older sister who is a cheerleader.

Lucas Braeburn


This is Lucas Braeburn, one of Brian Daniels’ friends. Lucas’s father was a big Star Wars fan and named his son after George Lucas, the director of the movie.

Brian Daniels


Brian Daniels, King Roach’s original alter ego, in a drawing from the year 2000. Or 2001. Either way this is from when I was first inventing the character and when the story was set in present day USA.
