SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ - Episode 104

 

SEA SHANTY FUNNIES - This Wednesday (tomorrow) and Friday will have the 'Gag Comic Strips' -- "Let's Play Ball!"

 

BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF AND WHAT'S COMING UP OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS IN THE COMIC STRIPS:

I'm already breaking my own rules here just a bit. For the next two weeks during the weekdays (at least), I will run the smaller sized "Gag Comic Strips" on Wednesday and Friday mornings that are a mini-story. I've got four short gag comic strips written. I may extend it to six gag comic strips over three weeks. We will see. These will be baseball themed mini-stories separate from the main weekly "big" Sunday Fun Day Comics.

The weekday stories run outside and are separate from the weekly "main" Sunday stories now here on this web comic series. Though they will loosely relate if that makes sense. That's how I'm trying to keep it.

I think you can keep up. If you're having difficulties, email me at scott@scottmccullar.com and let me know. I'm still working things out. I'm aiming for two smaller weekday comics strips and the one big ongoing Sunday storyline comic strip.

I will introduce one particular original brand-new character that is based on a longtime friend of mine since elementary school that I received his permission to base this character on his real-life self and his likeness.  I sent over concept art for him to approve over the weekend and got his approval and blessing. He is a reader of the comic strip, too. You will meet this comic character later this week (and especially in the spotlight on Friday) for his introduction.

Plus, look closely in the drawings and watch the spectators gathered behind homeplate in the stands as some of you longtime Popeye fans with a watchful eye you will catch some familiar faces that are debuting for the first time here in SEA SHANTY FUNNIES. 

So... to sum up.... new comic strips this week on Wednesday, Friday, and then the big one on Sunday as Olive and Popeye pick themselves up after the big news in their personal life and the continued investigation on the abduction of Bernice the Whiffle Hen by Boola.

See you in the Funnies!

SEA SHANTY FUNNIES #1 printed comic books have arrived

 

A couple of cases of the first issue of my new comic book collection SEA SHANTY FUNNIES featuring my take on the public domain-based Popeye arrived Saturday afternoon from the printer. I had 100 books printed up. This collects the first 41 episodes of the web comic (with bonus extended scenes) as well as collects the complete STRANDED: Pooky Jones mini-episodes.

I will let you know how you can get a copy with instructions on Wednesday. I'm making this part of a SEA SHANTY FUNNIES FAN CLUB offering that will include a few other things.

In the meantime, feel free to email me at scott@scottmccullar.com if you want me to personally reserve a copy for you. I will also make this available for international shipping outside the U.S.

SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ - Episode 103 "A Quick Study in Pink" (My apologies for today's delay and your wait)

 

My apologies for today's delay and if anyone has been waiting. Here is this week' "Sunday Fun Day" comic. This story continues here in long format next Sunday. I will strive to have it finish in time next week for a morning release.

SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ - Episode 102 "Happy Superman Day!"

 

Today is Superman Day. It was officially moved recently from June to today by DC Comics to commemorate The Man of Steel's first appearance in Action Comics. I offer my own homage to celebrate.

SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ A Key Moment - Mini-Episode #1

 

 

It was 95 Years ago today...

(Drawing based after E.C. Segar's original comic strip.) 

 

Done for fun.

 

...and by the way, everything in E.C. Segar's original newspaper comic strip series is "in continuity" as part of my SEA SHANTY FUNNIES web comic series. It is all a part of the 'Earth 24-C' Alternate Universe that traces back to this. That's all for now. Just a general thought of mine on the creative process that I wanted to share with behind the scenes. It is the backbone from which all is built from and proceeded. 

Come Back Saturday at Midday for the Next SEA SHANTY FUNNIES

Sorry. There will be no new SEA SHANTY FUNNIES comic strip today (Thursday) or tomorrow (Friday).

However, I'm working on two BRAND NEW FULL LENGTH PAGES  for both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday's will be a special edition "BANDITO ENTERTAINMENT™ SATURDAY MATINÉE COMIC" and Sunday's comic will continue the story of the missing Whiffle Hen.

Thanks,

Yer pal, Scott 

 

SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ - Episode 101

 

A short gag feature. (Through the weekdays, I will post these shorter comic strips that are published for a quick laugh)

The ongoing longform storylines are now featured on Sunday Mornings in a larger and longer format.

Also, please check back on Saturday mid-day for a Special Comic Strip you don't want to miss.
