Marvel Short #17 – Blind Date Avengers

Posted on October 28, 2021September 17, 2023 by phil.wrede

Life got pretty busy, here, all of a sudden, thanks to graduate school homework. I even missed a whole week of comic posting, I got so buried. So, I’ve switched the name of the comic strip (again) to All-New, Overworked Avengers, and had to dial my comic productivity back to one of these four-panel strips a week, for probably the rest of the fall semester.

Welcome to PizzaRat dot Net, where I (Phil Wrede) post my toy comics!

The Idea

Comics, but with photos, instead of drawings.

The Process

Using stock photos as backgrounds, and digitally pasting photos of action figures over them. Graphic design software enables the lettering.

The Point

To make comics, to share stories, and to retroactively justify all the money I've spent on action figures over the years.
