I know I said I wasn’t going to insert Sketch Ups of backgrounds, but it was a lot faster in this case for Panel 2. The original wasn’t really salvageable…
Yay speech bubbles!
Chapter: – Welcome to Greenpath

Welcome to Greenpath (New)
Here is the remastered version of the very first comic! I plan to go through one a day for the next month, especially to purge the old MS Paint-edited ones from the archives. I will post the new ones here to begin with, and then eventually go back through and replace the old files with them.
If I ever get a time machine, there are a number of things I will instruct past me on. Use of fonts, rulers, and NOT MS PAINT come to mind…
You will notice that while I kept the classic art (it is tempting to redraw everything, make Sketch Ups, etc. but time does not allow…), I did change Percy and Jorocks’ hair to the modern style. This will only be done for the color comics (and is actually what I wound up doing later anyway).

Welcome To Greenpath The End
And thus ends the “Welcome to Greenpath” story arc. I hope you enjoyed it!
Have fun!

Percy’s Distrust
This is the first time Copy/Paste is used in Spoofy Randomness. Actually, technically I used the cloning tool. I do my best to avoid using such tools, as I prefer to hand-draw everything, but since they are identical twins I decided that my artistic ability would not do them justice. I had planned having an ice cream shop in the comic early on with a manager who is friends with the main cast, but I don’t know how that wound up becoming twins named after a sandwich. I suppose it beats “Ham and Cheese”. Hmm, maybe that would make a good comedic duo, though…
Have fun!

Anticlimatic Mysteriousness
And with a new month comes a dramatically new, not to mention legible, style! This is the point where I finally got fed up with using Paint (can you blame me?) and downloaded GIMP. Due to the fact that I was already slowly losing my buffer as school took over, I didn’t have much time to play with it. So over the next few weeks of comics, you’ll see several subtle changes in the comic style as I play with new toys.
Oh, and this is also the point where I start titling my comics on the comic itself (when I moved to the new site, I had to title all of the old comics). I’ve seen a few other webcomics do this and I’ve always liked it. Plus it gives me a way to tell them apart other than the date.
Have fun!

Character Development
Pete Dubois is a reference to my favorite magician, Peter Boie. Just thought you might find that interesting.
Have fun!
