Ten Questions: Josh Lesnick
May 14th, 2008 by hpkomic | 3 Comments | Filed in Articles, Blog
Girly is a webcomic created by Josh Lesnick which generally centers around the romantic relationship between two girls named Otra and Winter, as well as other citizens of the city of Cute-Town.
On October 15, 2005 Girly became a part of the Dayfree Press collective, and on June 28, 2006 the first Girly print collection was published via Radio Comix.
1] Hello! Tell us who you are, and what you do.
I’m Josh, and I draw comics, and I run an adult comic site. Aaaaaand that’s about it. The comics are Girly and Doctor Voluptua. The adult site is Slipshine. Together all my comic work helps me eek out a living. Not enough to buy a yacht, but enough to buy a nice pan of lasagna every once in a while.
2] How long have you been working on Girly? What is it about?
Girly is primarily about a cartoon relationship, the one between Otra and Winter. It’s hard to describe it without bringing up Cutewendy, the comic I wrote in the early 00s. Cutewendy was a simple comic I made about two girls, one of whom is the sidekick of the other. It was a simple gag strip where crazy shit happened. Girly is actually the sequel to the comic, taking the concept, while inserting a story, some humanity, and a bit of romance to the mix. In short, it’s about lesbians.
In most of the stories, Winter and Otra live for adventure, searching all over their town for something resembling it, and creating it themselves if they can’t find it. Many other characters muscled their way into the comic over the years, and their stories started and ended. The new chapters are mostly about the two girls returning to their roots, whilst being chased around by a grumpy but hot police officer.

Ten Questions: Scott Christian Sava of The Dreamland Chronicles
March 26th, 2008 by Eleika | 2 Comments | Filed in Articles, Blog1. What’s The Dreamland Chronicles really about?
SCS: Really Really about?
Well it’s about my fascination with dreams and fantasy. It’s taking all of the books I grew up on and trying to extrapolate the best of them all into something fun.
It’s something for my kids. Something for me.
It’s pushing the medium (using 3D animation software) further than I’ve ever pushed it to tell a story.
But if you want a synopsis of Dreamland…
It’s about a boy who goes back to the land of dreams he used to visit as a child. There he finds all of his childhood friends have grown up as well.
It’s about faith. It’s about remembering your innocence. It’s a romance story. And it’s just fun.
2. In your books you mention that the graphics are generated by a computer program that you commissioned. Care to elaborate?
SCS: Well I started using CGI to do comics back in 2002 when I did Spider-Man for Marvel comics.
It was an experiment and I think it came out ok.
But I knew I could do better.
Fortunately my animation studio was doing well. We were making some money on projects like Aliens vs. Predator and X-files.
So I was able to hire some extremely talented modellers and designers and such to help me create the world of Dreamland.
That was 6 years ago…and I’m still learning every day.
