The creative process is a harsh and cruel mistress. Occasionally, the mind just blanks out and I wonder: "What next"?
The hidden joke here is that the sketch for this strip dates back to June 21, 2007 – one day before the very first This Is Me strip went online.
Originally, This Is Me was meant as a drawing excercise to gear up for what I thought would be the work proper, a children's book featuring cuddly sheep (how original).
As a result, I have three years worth of sketchbooks filled with sheep drawings. I actually toyed with the idea of introducing talking sheep into the strip before reluctantly coming to my senses.
Please, dear reader, let me know whether you like THIS IS ME. Criticism is also appreciated. It's feedback keeps me going. Feel free to e-mail me at <me AT thisisme-comic DOT com> (please replace AT and DOT with the corresponding characters, sorry about that hurdle).
