For Kara.

This isn’t part of the arc going on right now — call it a flashback. Anyway, I’m trying to graduate from UF right now, so I don’t have much time for drawing or happiness. Check back in May. My doom should be spelled out by then.

Cheers!

If you haven’t laughed yet, read this previous strip.

That’s the last time I draw a duck pond. It took FOREVER!

Filler: Mason and Haywood

Sorry, no Hamstructo strip today. The weekend snuck up on me and the strip I have half penciled in has a lot of detail on it. On top of that, I’ve got some Numerical Analysis homework to catch up on.

SO, in place of a brand new Hamstructo strip, here’s a prototype of a comic I thought up a while back. The protagonist, Mason, is a 9-year-old with cancer. He spends most of his time in the hospital, but possesses a healthier attitude than all the other “sick” people there.

The old guy is Haywood, a guy who takes everything for granted and refuses to enjoy himself. He’s based on my dad.

I’m not too sure about this one. I love the premise, but right now, it’s a little too Calvin and Hobbs. I’ll work on it more when I have some time.

Enjoy your week everybody. Hamstructo will be back next Friday.

Markers… woo…

I’m still working on a quick, easy coloring style. Feel free to leave suggestions.

Triumphant Returns

Yeah, Hamstructo’s back. I’m picking up the story shortly after the events of when I stopped drawing the strips, so if you go back and read the previous couple of strips, you should get a vague idea of what’s going on.

Anyway, the update schedule is once per week: Fridays. Check back next Friday for the continuation!

And thanks for reading.

I’ve been putting off declaring the Hamstructo comic on hold and refuse to enter the realm of indefinite hiatus. I unfortunately don’t have the time or passion to dedicate to this project at present but promised myself that I would return to the world in full spin sometime in the future.

Hamstructo strips, full of vibrant colors and sub-par creative dialogue take much more time for me to create per-strip than the idiotic antics of The 2D Robots. For this reason, I’m continuing to post strips every Friday on that site and keeping this one open so that it’ll be ready when I decide to return to a regular schedule drawing these.

A lot of work and thought went into creating Hamstructo’s silly world and adventures and all that remarkably paid off with caring attention by viewers. I can’t turn my back on what interests anyone who reads these might hold for future strips in the evil fur ball’s saga so this is not hiatus or a vacation, simply not updated on a regular schedule. I will announce make clear the update schedule when I can return to drawing these on a timely basis. Thanks for visiting!

I don’t care if it’s spelled “gotta!” I like to push the envelope! Ignore the shaky linework; this strip was a bit rushed.
