This strip started as an exchange that I occasionally have with my best friend, Jason (who will be getting a cut on any profits from “Over the Wall”, and whose own webcomic, “Café Thoughts”, should be coming out any day now)… Basically, we send each other notes whenever something especially funny happens--like dumb comments in meetings, funny typographical errors in emails, cafeteria menus, and the like. I have always wanted to do some kind of comic, but my artistic and creative skills weren’t up to the task. Then, one day, I figured that I could create a static framework and then just post new dialog into that framework as appropriate (in the tradition of some of the great old print comics)…all I needed was some dialog…which I hear every day. A few hours later, the template was done (it’s based on an actual snapshot of my office (although that’s changed), which adds to the intense, dream-like quality of the strip, I think), and I started by retrofitting some of my old notes into the glorious new format.
