My first draft of Violet, Private Eye (Patreon)

Hi Patrons, 

I wanted to share these with you--it's my first draft of Violet. I learned a big lesson doing this, because these were rejected at first, and I had to go back and flesh out the story. That's when I figured out the Columbo angle. It made me realize that I couldn't really just amble along with a weekly strip, I had to have a real story that would hold people's attention week to week. 

And as I've been writing and thumbnailing, I've realized I've had to cut out about half the strips I've written, because they're just filler. I'm not used to editing my own work this much, and I think it's going to be really helpful in the long run.

Plus I get to finally put to use all the true crime podcasts I listen to.
