Excitebike Flowchart

WRITER’S NOTES (November 13, 2009)

"This comic was written and drawn by me without work from Jason. "Drawn" might be stretching it because was completely done with Microsoft Visio instead of our usual pencils, inks, and Photoshop process. When I proposed this script to Jason and Daniel, I penciled how it would look in the final version. Before you knew it, I had basically finished the comic and Jason suggested that I just do it myself. Part of that comment derives from his inherent laziness, the other from his crowded school schedule, and so I caved in. I had fun creating the comic, even tweaking it a little by adding the sprites and expanding the overall number of decision pathways. With the popularity of comedic videogame flowcharts, I could almost see myself trying to do a new one every week. This would be outside of our normal comics, though. We shall see."
