complex. the comic. episode 9 - helpful warning
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008


Chache is a roach. Yes, probably the first lovable disgusting bug in a comic strip.

Why would I choose a roach for a main character? Well I like challenges, and I have a complex in making walls extremely large to overcome.
Chache is a creation of something which we will learn later, he has inhabited apartment 1337 in building 6 like a mafia don for a long time. Each unknowing tenant either had a nervous breakdown or transferred over time. Charlie is the new tenant and we can see how he will react.
Chache represents the psychologically complex roach in all of us: lazy, ignorant, overly confident, under appreciative, slime ball, and arrogant but he can have a good time, but is definitely a bug.
The chache character sheet page will continually evolve.
The characters of complex the comic are in iteration two and still sketches per se. Follow their progression and launch into comic strip at complexcomic.com.







This is the beginning of the comic strip called complex. This introduces the main characters, charlie (some dude) and chache (some dude like life-sized roach)
This series will be reproduced again more clean and probably in color. I can’t decide yet whether I will use color all the time. But I wanted to start establishing the characters and putting something out there helps with this greatly.
I read that it is not ideal to start your webcomic with character backgrounds, this is not the really beginning of the strip so to speak but some iterations to refine the characters and to help have interactions to help define the characters.
