My previous comic strip
Added 2023-02-03 17:40:37 +0000 UTCThis baby is from 10 years ago and was based on my time working in call centers in my early twenties. It was called Dial Tones and focused on two polar opposite workers answering phones for a living. Can you guess who Marcus was supposed to be??
It's so weird to look back on these old comics I made compared to my stuff now, but also interesting to see how my style has shifted. This was made entirely in Photoshop, when I was just learning how to use it in college. I submitted it to a large comic contest in Nova Scotia and won! Which is where I first got the thought to make comics professionally (eventually lol)

How could Jeff. . . uh, Marcus, resist your thoroughly magnetic charms?

2023-02-04 11:53:50 +0000 UTCDo you still have friends/acquaintances from your call centre days (other than Jeff)? Or was it more of a clock in-clock out mind your own business kind of job?

2023-02-03 20:51:16 +0000 UTCOooooh, you used to work at a call center. That explains how you’re able to tolerate reddit. It all makes sense now.

2023-02-03 20:28:14 +0000 UTCJust to let you all know that Jen is totally over Marcus now. She found her luck here in Europe and is now married to Sarah. She also does not work in a Callcenter anymore, but is a self employed comic artist (what a funny coincidence) Love this comic, BTW 😃

2023-02-03 19:03:56 +0000 UTCThis is so cool to see, even though its from years ago I can still definitely recognize a bit of your current art style in it. Also that face in the second panel legitimately made me laugh😅

2023-02-03 18:24:14 +0000 UTCThank you! I would spend all my time in-between phone calls scrolling through those types of comics so I'm sure it was inspired by that as well
