About
GeekGasm originally started out as a web comic on ComicGenesis WAAAYYYYY back in 2001 when it was known as “KeenSpace” (The Spot’s redheaded step-cousin). Like most webcomics back then (and even now), it was about the people in my life and the things that we enjoyed — namely movies, video games, and all things geek.
The strip had its moments, but was mostly really, REALLY, bad. You see, I like to think of myself as a writer. But back when the strip was being made, I didn’t even know that I WANTED to write, let alone HOW to write. So, not only had I not attempted to learn more about my craft of choice, but I’d often get lazy and not write the strips before it was time to draw them. So there were many strips that were drawn well before I knew what the eff they were about. Thankfully, innitial drawings would often inspire SOME sort of direction for the final panels, but for the most part… you can really tell that I didn’t know what I was doing.
After the strip fizzled in ‘02, I used “GeekGasm” mainly as a portal for all my other stuff — LJ, Myspace, other much BETTER projects (that I did NOT draw) like Eat The Roses, etc…
But the more and more time passed, the more I craved to create something totally on my own and just put it up somewhere.
So, that’s what this is.
Not a revival of the old strip. Not an attempt to become famous or sustain myself off of it. Just an outlet for my brain.
Which is why many of the jokes will be lost on a lot of people. I’m going to reference the things that I enjoy and not worry about who I’m pleasing.
If you happen to enjoy what I produce, awesome! But if not… this is not — I repeat — NOT an example of my writing abilities. If you want to know what I CAN do, go to Eat The Roses or P. Andrew Floyd (When it’s finished). This is just an outlet.
I actually debated not posting them at all, but having them “publish” to the world makes me feel more accomplished and helps motivate me to work on my other projects.
Anyway, enjoy it or don’t. I’ll still love you either way.
