My previous comic strip
🕑 Added 2023-02-03 17:40:37 +0000 UTCThis baby is from 10 years ago and was based on my time working in call centers in my early twenties. It was called Dial Tones and focused on two polar opposite workers answering phones for a living. Can you guess who Marcus was supposed to be??
It's so weird to look back on these old comics I made compared to my stuff now, but also interesting to see how my style has shifted. This was made entirely in Photoshop, when I was just learning how to use it in college. I submitted it to a large comic contest in Nova Scotia and won! Which is where I first got the thought to make comics professionally (eventually lol)

How could Jeff. . . uh, Marcus, resist your thoroughly magnetic charms?

I did for the longest time but we've all since moved on and had families. I still see them on FB though

Do you still have friends/acquaintances from your call centre days (other than Jeff)? Or was it more of a clock in-clock out mind your own business kind of job?

Oh, so many! Penny arcade, VG cats, cyanide and happiness, CAD, questionable content, XKCD. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch

Yes, it definetly taught me patience!

Oooooh, you used to work at a call center. That explains how you’re able to tolerate reddit. It all makes sense now.

Just to let you all know that Jen is totally over Marcus now. She found her luck here in Europe and is now married to Sarah. She also does not work in a Callcenter anymore, but is a self employed comic artist (what a funny coincidence) Love this comic, BTW 😃

Hahah no it was just a blonde girl, I had jet black hair back then!

This is so cool to see, even though its from years ago I can still definitely recognize a bit of your current art style in it. Also that face in the second panel legitimately made me laugh😅

Holy crap you were blonde

Last panel is definitely relatable from some cringeworthy attempts at flirting from high school me 😵💫 (not that current me has gotten any better lol)

Thank you! I would spend all my time in-between phone calls scrolling through those types of comics so I'm sure it was inspired by that as well

Looks like someone has the hots for Jef- I mean, Marcus 😂
