BTB 5: How a Comic Changes from Idea to Final Form

  Greetings from the land of my desk! It's your faithful comic creator, Andrenn, back to tell you more unwanted information about how I make this comic! Today we're gonna cover a little closer to the actual creation process as we cover how a comic goes from it's earliest sketched idea to the final version I post on here. I'm using two recent comics as a good example for this. First up, Billy Comics #26, Bad Dog. This comic had a very different second half. It's a good showcase that an idea may seem fun/funny at first but upon making it real, it doesn't hit the same way.  My initial idea was more of a fun little gag where Georgie rides off victorious. I liked it all right but after drawing it out I just wasn't finding it as humorous. So I rethought the gag a few different ways.

How you start your story is important and I had a few different ways to start Billy's. Here, we're going to recollect all the times that Billy almost got his first storyline. To be clear, by storyline I mean multi-part/page story arc.. While I had various ideas of how to start Bone Boy Billy, I ended up deciding to go with a series of character vignettes to start us up. Working as more of an introduction to each specific character I wanted to focus on. You could sort of call this a mini-arc like "Meeting the family" or something along those lines, but each comic is it's own separate story. Now there was also the four part story where Billy learns to toughen up a little, but I'd consider that a mini-arc again. No, by our first storyline I'm talking several part...
