The Greys

[xav]

This is a comic strip that a friend and I started over 14 years ago using CorelDraw 4. We've decided to resurrect it as a webcomic using Inkscape to draw the strips, and the site went live with the first strip last week:



Based on the rate at which we've been converting and tidying up old CorelDraw files, we're currently only committing to "once a fortnight", though I do hope to increase it to weekly at some point, if we can.

We're also making our Inkscape source files available for download under a Creative Commons licence. As an added extra for those that do grab the source, the SVG files usually include some kind of Easter Egg.

Hehe, love the comic, love the Easter Egg idea!

Another fortnight passed, another comic posted:

That's a rather familiar-looking background.

[Kelloggs]

Nah, not enough Formica.

I could have guessed that at least one or two people here would recognise the background. I actually drew a more complete layered version with flight consoles and the lounge area, so expect to see variations of it getting re-used in future.

Time for another:

Excellent!

The cow one is excellent

We interrupt the usual fortnightly programming of The Greys to bring you a special anniversary edition:

Finally! Proof that the Apollo landings were not faked! There were stars in the pictures, after all!

Longcomic is long...
