Evolving AGZ, The State of the Zoo





The 1 year anniversary of AGZ has been an eventful time. The big events that come to mind: The first official AGZ public appearance, the two-person project became a one person project again, and various fun experiments (sketch book).

The first year of AGZ was a personal experiment in sharing a story on a regular basis.

This next year is going to be about expanding that foundation. I have a few ideas and I've mentioned "AGZ experiments" but haven't shared anything specific. I've been trying to live by the "have something to show before announcing" rule. I'll set that aside for the moment and share a glimpse into what I'm planning.

My goals for the next year:

  • Publish comic content three days per week.

    • Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays



  • Occasionally publish other content (videos, sketches)

    • Other days of the week.



  • AGZ Comics will come in two main flavors. Main Story and Parody. Did you know that parody roughly translated from latin means counter-song (counter as in oppose in a different direction)?



Of course, I should stress that this is a goal. Multiple episodes per week will be something I build up to over time. It also may cause the comic to be more manga style black and white or grayscale shaded. I'll to my best to keep the Monday episode in color.

Speaking of the Monday episode, it will remain top priority, then Wednesday, then Friday.

When will the two flavors of comics begin? My plan is to finish season one of the AGZ main story then introduce the parody stuff. Season one is shaping up to be another six to ten episodes.

AGZ is a young comic growing and finding readers such as you. Thank you for reading AGZ! If you're enjoying it, I can use your assistance in getting get the word out! Email, blog, social network or good old fashioned talk and/or sing about it. :)
