Funny on good days, usually just meh.
Last Update: May 9, 2008
Updates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
THIS IS ME is an ongoing strip which has been running since June 2007. The comic updates three days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays).
Frankly, I'm way too old to do something as fashionable as a webcomic. Still, I try. Perhaps you'll enjoy it.
Before you get any odd ideas: THIS IS ME is not meant to be taken literally.
The author and artist of THIS IS ME is a talentless hack and an old fart. It takes him endless hours to write and draw a single strip, yet they still look like something the cat dragged in.
Every relationship develops this kind of pattern. Fortunately, not everybody is willing to take it to the extremes displayed here.
What do you think, readers... should I set up a store for this and other exclusive t-shirt designs?
Please observe the dazzling array of accessoires and clothes displayed in this strip. It's a virtual catwalk of a comic.
The wife's been "out of uniform" a couple of times before.
The delays continue. Of course I have an excuse.
Today marks the arrival of a new character to the strip: Beansprout. I've been putting off his introduction for half a year now, making all kinds of excuses to myself. The main reason for my uneasiness is that I worry about throwing the strip out of balance. In short, it's got the potential to become a debacle of Lymanesque proportions. Lyman was a short-lived character in the comic strip "Garfield". He moved in with John and brought his dog Odie. Lyman proved superfluous and eventually disappeared without a trace, whereas Odie lives on.
But then I decided: It's my strip, I can fail if I want to (singing: fail if I want to...). And perhaps it will work out after all. Finalizing the character's look took a while, though. As usual: Your input is appreciated. Tell me what you think at <me AT thisisme-comic DOT com>.
I also spent a lot of time doing behind-the-scenes house cleaning. Three strips have been updated: Strips 127, 128 and 130.
I also meant to modify the last panel of "Reorientation" only to realize that it could only get worse.
Please let me know how you like THIS IS ME! Criticism is also appreciated! It's mainly feedback that keeps me going. Please e-mail me at <me AT thisisme-comic DOT com> (replace AT and DOT with the respective characters).
