So, while no one was looking, I launched a web comic. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. It’s called Numaf, and it’s very, very nerdy. I am proud to say it might be the very nerdiest thing I’ve ever done. I would suggest you start reading at the beginning, where all good things begin. The initial story arc is in full swing already.
I know it won’t appeal to everyone (maybe even anyone) but that’s okay. To quote Ricky Gervais, “I’d rather be a small group of people’s favorite thing than millions of people’s ninth favorite thing”. Interestingly, Ricky Gervais also said, “Look, just tell me where that lemon came from and I’ll shut up and go away.” I guess that doesn’t really apply here.
I’m collaborating with Eric Anderson again, but this time, we actually got the comic on the Internet. (Last time, not so much.) I have a lot of ideas about where to go with it and I know Eric does, too. It should be a lot of fun. Eric and I work really well together, despite being on opposite sides of the country.
So yeah, give it a read. Maybe you will like it. Let me know what you think in the comments and whatnot.

Love the Numaf style. What do you use to model / render your works?

Thanks!
I use blender to do the initial modeling and first render, then I tweak things, do layouts and add dialog in photoshop.

I just read through all the Numaf comics so far (it was linked to from Dinosaur Comics and had the most appealing 120×30px [or whatever] ad). It’s neat enough for me to come back to look later if I remember, though I must say it’s weird having to check both the title and the alt text for the side-jokes. The line about Zurich is the funniest so far. Good luck with your project!
