Graphic novel, day 942

Posted on December 29, 2014December 29, 2014 by David

I haven’t done much on me “graphic novel” (a.k.a. “longer comic”) this year, but pulled all the ideas together and started to get a story structure and character designs happening over Christmas.

It’s about a cult leader learning on the job (there’s no university course that I know of).

These are people he learns from, people he’s jealous of, people whose lives he fucks up, people who fuck him up.

It’s probably called Sciensatics now, and you can add it to the list of Things David May Yet Finish.

David Blumenstein

I’m a service designer, cartoonist and co-founder of Squishface Studio. I’ve done comics for The Guardian, Crikey and Australian MAD. Currently also deputy president of the Australian Cartoonists Association.

I usually write about things that shit me off, from bad bosses (The Bret Braddock Adventures) to pick-up artists (#takedown) to white supremacist trolls (The Internet’s Most Trolled Cartoonist) to predatory cults (Why Los Angeles is Scientology’s perfect city) and nasty tech bros (Octane Render: Cartoonists talk about A.I. art).

I’m working on graphic novels called Sciensatics (about cultists) and Free Money, Please (about wealth and passive income).
