bigislandrachel asked: Technical question! How do you manage to convey so much detail with so few lines? There's a lot of negative space in your panels, but the characters and their facial expressions are so distinctive and clear--how do?

estoreal asked: But really, do you EVER get tired of being awesome? I'll spend the rest of my writing life hoping that just once I'll write one line of dialogue as elegant as what you deliver every single time. I won't get there, but hope will keep me trying.

Update on Second Installment
Well folks, we were finally about to start the next installment of comics. It was to be an exciting week. There was awkward talk of sex! Steve was finally going to have a tuna melt! (These two events were unrelated).
And then the wiring in my house that controls the lighting blew in a way I can’t fix by myself, leading me to the conclusion that god hates American Captain, or at the very...
Minor admin note.
Have just noticed that I’d missed tagging a few of the earlier comics as #comic when setting up the “just comics” tag/link. For any new readers, it might be worth checking to see if you missed any, if you read in order them using that tag. I doubt you’ll have missed much, but as the strip is vaguely sequential, I thought I’d just let you know. Best x.

American Captain Presents: Yellin' About Art
Well, folks, this is an epic comic of epic length by American Captain standards. I don’t know what I was doing, I guess I just really didn’t want to work on my thesis. I hope the way I have posted it will work, but bear with me if it doesn’t - I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. One is putting it on its own tumblr page, which is here: http://americancaptaincomic.tumblr.com/52...

Some lengthy personal writing about American...
Oh wow, a lot of new followers. Okay, it’s time to finally make this lengthy personal statement. You should, of course, feel free to ignore it. [[MORE]]
Guys, I am really, really anxious. I say this in the spirit of disclosure, because I feel like having it on record is going to make me feel better about posting American Captain, because I so very much want to, but its existence is kind of...

robotheartscephalopod asked: I'm interested in how you produce the comic. Do you use certain equipment? I'm kind of uneducated and I just draw on paper with a mechanical pencil. Also, I love the comic and thought the recent Hobbit Movie comic was great.

blastov-russiancosmonaut asked: RE: latest post "Technical Advice?" How are you currently uploading them? I read somewhere that it's better to use Text Posts rather than Photo posts to upload images. After you click on the "Text" button, click on the "+ Upload photo" link on the top-right side of the text area where you type you post.
mystmoon asked: It might be advisable to host the images on another site (deviantART is good at showing big images like yours) and provide a link to that version on the bottom of your comics. Failing that, I find cropping the comics and uploading them panel by panel is the best way to do it on tumblr. The only issue I have with your sizing is that I can see the comic, I just can't read your writing tbh, so...
Technical advice?
Hi followers, Sorry to bother you. I’d like to presume on your good natures for a moment to ask if you might be able to answer a technical question for me, if you don’t mind. Specifically, does anyone know how images work on tumblr? Because the last comic I uploaded seems to be automatically resized to too small even when I click it through to that white holding page in which it can...

Apologies for continued haitus.
As it turns out, I’m also required to work for a living (and believe me, I’m as upset about this as you are). There are plenty more half-drawn American Captains which will soon be completed for your perusal, I promise. I just have to knock a few deadlines out of the park. Until then, here’s an author self-portrait (drawn just after I watched the Avengers movies but before I...
