quote [ Watchmen is one of my favorite works of fiction, a graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. See my FAQ for more info on Watchmen itself. These Bench strips are the result of an insane project to retell some of the scenes from Watchmen as Bench strips, in a sort of simultaneous homage to Watchmen and The Bench & Penny Arcade... This is surely crazy since the intersection of people who will get all the Watchmen references and get all the Bench/PA references is surely not large... Previously all my Bench strips involved existing bits of computer art from prior Bench or Penny Arcade strips, with modifications done by me using Gimp. In late March I bought myself a scanner (Epson Perfection 1200U -- I like it). Now I can draw my own art on paper and use that in strips. ]
