USER EXPERIENCE Page the FIRST

For many months promised! For many more delayed! The vagaries of day jobs, publishing contracts, creative torments etc etc have exacted their deadly toll! But no more! Prepare yourselves, its… USER EXPERIENCE! Page the FIRST!

 

So I’m going to try an experiment folks– a new page every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Who has ever heard of such a thing! I may even figure out how to do a ‘next’ button! Notes of necessity will vary in elaboraticity. In this particular instance the merest sprinkling–

 

NOTES:

Marian Evans was not to my CERTAIN knowledge ever behind on her rent, though as a writer possessing the fabled Room Of Her Own and £90 a year in the Hungry Forties I dare say she had some anxious moments. Having moved to London and taken up the life of the pen around 1851 she JUST squeaks into the timeline of this comic. Thank heavens!

If anything I am diminishing the size of her magnificent nose.

ADDITIONAL REFLECTIONS BY THE AUTHOR: User Experience, as I’ve long been trailing, was developed as an experimental comic for the iPad. It also appears in the book.. this version is slightly different from both of those for what will be increasingly obvious reasons of formatting.

Posting to the web after some discussion with interested parties because 1) there is just no way I can get back to Vampire Poets, DESPERATE as I am to do so, until I’ve finished the heavy lifting on what is fondly known around here as THE BOOK 2) I hate not having stuff up on the site 3) as it turns out it’s almost impossible for me to write dialogue outside of my natural sphere, viz, three hours past my bedtime the day after I really should have posted a new comic.
