Lo, I bring thee art! Or a reasonable facsimile thereof!
I open this little gallery with the drawings that began the strip. I'll add to it, er, eventually, I'm sure.
She's in threes... - do a comic on Kali's daily life, my sister said. So I starting thinking in circles around that idea--what if the gods had to get jobs? You know, with the increasing secularization of the world, they suddenly find themselves obsolete, and like bitter Midwesterners discovering that the factory's been automated, they're out on their ass in the 'real' world.
The idea didn't really click until, after three days awake, I read FLEM's tribute to Douglas Adams and started drawing this triple-breasted whore. My brain went amok, and you have before you the result.
Angkor What? - this is an apology to the friends who had to listen to "Giant Buddha heads! Is that too much to ask?" over and over. The idea was the giant stone faces of Angkor Wat, sticking out their tongues in mischievous buddhery. Instead, it looks vaguely obscene.
I think it's slightly disturbing, but I'm not quite sure why.
Boddhisattva of Ambivalence - slightly lopsided, I know. Our boddhisattva feels compassion for you...but damn, you get what you deserve, right?
