Quincy’s Blind date pulled off one of the most elusive and highly sought after goals in the Mission Mini Comic lexicon: “Continuity”…

Because of the number of artists involved in the group mini-books, the storylines often get a little disjointed as the various scattered thought processes from 4-8 different artist vision pull the comic in varyious directions. We tried something a little different with this comic though…

After Kate Silver drew the cover, me, Mikey and Spencer all sat down and brainstormed a basic story with some jokes we wanted to hit in the process. The end result was a storyline that progressed fairly naturally, despite the multitude of cartoonists involved.

Mikey:
The idea behind this comic was 2 friends where one (Sybil) would always get these crackbrained schemes and somehow convince Quincy to go along with them.  You know, the classic Quixote and Sancho Ponzo kind of archetypes.  We just hammered this one out hella quickly after the basic idea got thrown out there.  We thought of having each one of the three of us just draw all of the same character in every panel(one of us would do all the backgrounds)  so all of the remaining panels would have the three of us in it.  But given busy schedules we decided to draw all of the panels separately one at a time.  It’s cool when everyone has to draw their version of a different character or scene. Spencer used a quill tip pen on the back page and the big, scratchy lines help embody the feeling of the “who the fuck is that” hangover.   Yarp.

Oh yeah, “Kate Silver” drew the cover, Mike drew the 2nd, 5th and 7th pages, Rio drew the 3rd and 6th pages, and Spencer drew the 4th and 8th panels.
