Note for non-comic book fanatics, “The Big Two” refers to Marvel Comics and DC Comics, who combined account for some 90% of all comic books sold in the American market. For many comic book artists, working with either company is THE measure of success in the industry. (We can debate whether that’s actually a good [...]

A little clarification on the timeline and some explanation for readers who are unfamiliar with the process of creating comics. – Here we find out that it’s been seven months and thirteen days since Faith left Felix. – Felix started working on “Over” approximately six months ago. – We’ll find out in the next nine [...]
What’s this? Another flashback sequence? Yup, here we are. Over the next three weeks, I’ll be filling in the gap between when Faith left Felix and when he started working on “Over” in a sequence that could be titled, “How NOT to get over a break up.” Now, this page is one example of a [...]
Where the hell did I get the idea for the rubber band trick? Got that question a lot from readers of the early script. Some thought it was too stupid to be a real thing, but actually I first heard about it in the book “Getting Things Done” by productivity expert David Allen. David suggested [...]
This is the one you’ll hear most from friends after a break up. “Chin up. Come on. We need to get you wasted!” Not a good idea, though, IMHO. See, I like throwing back the occasional adult beverage or six. For me, getting drunk has always been associated with a lot of good times. Why [...]
Continuing to have fun with the Self-Help Guru’s “Rubber Band Trick” from Page 47. Also trying to get across that seeming phenomenon when you are in the dumps that it seems like everyone else has it better off. What could be worse after being dumped than suffering a perfectly happy couple gearing up for a [...]
Not exactly top notch strip club etiquette from Felix. No offense to the mother’s out there. Overcomic.com is pro-mom, pro-baby, etc. But if you got a kid at home…you don’t need to be dancing on the pole. Share “Over” With the World:
Okay, not to worry. This is the last of the rubber band gags. In the script, I described Felix as wearing “The World’s Largest Rubber Band.” That sucker would hurt. Share “Over” With the World:
Alright folks, this next three pages represent absolute rock bottom for Felix. When you’re calling numbers in the adult services section of the paper…yeah, you’ve hit a low point. In the first draft of this scene, Felix answered the door and it was a transexual escort…not what he ordered! However, that’s been done to death [...]
Alright, maybe it’s just me. But the image of a bad ass pimp with an infant in a baby bjorn…That’s just funny. I made Clint a total hardcore badass, but I could see Will Ferrell pulling this scene off in a movie. Share “Over” With the World:
