Time for our weekend lessons in proper waste disposal. Today’s lesson – if you wouldn’t take a bath in the barrel, you can’t consider it properly cleaned. Keep scrubbing. And watch where you dispose of that cleaning water!
Corporate Creative Department, panel 4
Our hero decides that enough if enough and starts to call his corporate IT department. His co-worker reacts poorly to this idea. 
Corporate Creative Department, panel 3
I’m pretty impressed with the clean lines in this strip. I have a tendency to noodle and add lines – not always to the benefit of the illustration. 
Corporate Creative Department, panel 2
At the time I did these illustrations I was really enamored with the idea of creating individual illustrations on paper, scanning the images and then using Photoshop and Illustrator to combine the images into comic strips or pages. I’ve since decided that graphics programs are useful for enhancing images and fixing mistakes but I prefer doing as much work as possible on an illustration prior to scanning. 
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. 
Easy Being Green
Another Painter experiment from 2001 or 2002. I don’t remember what I was doing to get that weird rectangle at her eye.
No Fun with Chemicals
No matter how interested you are finding out what happens when weed killer mixes with rustoleum – don’t! It’s a bad idea!
Keep Those Barrels Corralled Pardner!
Another Saturday. Another cartoon admonition to treat your waste with respect.
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.
