| One
whole year of MikeDonovan.com as of October 20th 2004!
We've been going strong for
a whole year of daily ( except Sunday's ) comics. In order
to commemerate this milestone, we thought we would treat you,
the reader with a look back at some of the highlights of our
first year, some bloopers that made it to the final cut (
sorry MyComicsPage ) and some rejected comics not fit for
print.
Right as the MikeDonovan.com
comic launched on Ucomics website, we were approached to do
a crossover with Shoecabbage. Along with some other
big names in the comic business, Mike
showed up. So, that was pretty cool.
Along the way, MikeDonovan.com
picked up some friends who can be found on our LINKS
page. These are great artists with great comics who have enjoyed
this comic this year.
Bloopers
We like to point out the bloopers in our newsletter, but here
are some of the ones that got by our highly regimented editorial
process.
The second panel words were messed up.
The "I" shouldn't be there. It was a last minute
re-write of the joke that led to this embarrassing mishap!
( ok, it's not that bad. )
In this crazy comic a clown appears at the
end when I was speaking to an older gentleman. How did that
clown get in there?!?! We need editors with eye sight!
This comic was going well, but look what the
dog says as the video tape still rolls. The brutally honest
Great Dane has some choice words for Mike! Needless to say
we never used his services again.
To Hot for Print
We've had some comics that have been too racy
to actually make it to print. We're not really proud to bring
them to you here... but we will anyway!
This comic started out on the
cutting room floor and never quite made it past that. We thought
if we could get one girl in the world to approve it, we could
run it. We never got any womans approval, so it never made
it. Violence against women is wrong. Wrong!
Behind the Scenes
Here's a clip from behind the
scenes that not too many people get to see.
So, now you know what it's like to work with
Mike. If you want to call it work, all he does is stand there.
We hope you enjoyed this look
back and we hope you are looking forward to another year of
MikeDonovan.com, we know we are. Thanks for reading.
