Hello?
Okay: for some reason that I cannot explain or determine, Episode 1 does not show up as the first strip outside of the archive. It's bizzare. Of course, said strip isn't very good anyway, but if you really need to read it, you can click here.
So I'm gonna treat this as the first strip!
Hello, and welcome to Really Hawt! I'm Andy Vatter, and as you may have noticed, I can't draw. The initial character designs were drawn in an hour (each), and have been Photoshopped since. Now to be fair, I have improved a lot since the beginning- it's still bad, but it's not as bad as the above comic would have you think. Also, the humor can be pretty lame- I was an awkward 16 year-old when I started it.
Pause for irony that I go to art school but can't draw or paint.
End pause. (I go for film.)
The backstory here is simple: one night, my friend Mere (The Rack) and I were talking over AIM. I made a stupid joke about me being sexy (I'm really not), and Mere said that I was the sex. I turned that into The Sex (notice the fancy capitaliztion) and said it'd be my superhero name, then she said she'd be The Rack, and a hideous idea formed in my head.
And that's about it. A few important notes for those reading anew:
Like I said, it gets better.
You'll notice a strangely colored background as part of many of the strips; the original comic layout had that very color as a background, and since I was struggling with transparencies, I just went with that. Poor move, in hindsight. I will fix them someday-ish.
If there seems to be an inconsistency with any strip between now and 400, email me and let me know; I had to reupload them all when I changed the comic system.
Happy reading! I guess! |
