To be perfectly frank, I have no earthly idea where I am going with this comic from here.

I might need to take some time to regroup.

Sorry for any disappointment.

Well... Now that the owner's dead, who's going to take care of the hangers?! They don't have hands!!!

By the way, I finally saw TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, and I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I mean, puppets blowing stuff up and having sex? Hasn't anyone else seen MEET THE FEEBLES, by the beloved Peter Jackson? If not, I highly recommend renting it. It's raunchier than TEAM AMERICA and was released a good 15 years beforehand.

Don't ask me where I got the idea for this one... Maybe I've just been in a morbid mood. I think the hangers might have to find a lawyer, though!

Sorry it's taken so long to get out issue #4. I've been so busy with work and other personal issues.

Look at the ridiculous situation our bumbling heroes have gotten themselves into this time! I wonder what their owner will think!

This strip was fun to write. I hope you readers aren't offended by my use of mild profanity in the second-to-last panel. I've heard worse on talk radio before, so I figure it should be okay.

In other news, my day job is really depressing me. I have these unrealistic daydreams that Coathanger Comics will really take off and make me enough money that I'll be able to quit and write strips full-time. A man can dream, can't he?

We're starting to learn a little about our protagonists' daily lives in this strip. I'm really excited about where the story arc I'm working on will go. Hopefully you will be too!

At first I was a bit reticent about how pixel-y the graphics are around the hangers, but then I got to thinking about how Diesel Sweeties and 8-bit Theater, a couple of excellent comics, are pixelated and still popular. So I don't feel as bad about it anymore. Besides, my hand-drawing skills could still use some work.

I'm still in the process of figuring out what kind of release schedule will work well for me, but I'll let you know when I've ironed one out.

Hello? Is this thing on?

Well, with some help from my friends at Area 23 I finally got this new comic strip software set up. I've been wanting to make a web comic for a long time, and now I'm finally going through with it. I'm so excited!!

The idea for this strip is one I've been kicking around in my head for a little while. I hope you guys like it!
