As the Grass Grows – A Webcomic by Brad Samuelson

Wow, 100 strips… pretty crazy. Actually, it’s funny because sometimes I’ll look back through the archives and won’t even remember drawing some of them. I guess that’s a good thing because it means I’m looking forward and not dwelling too much on each strip. Honestly, it’s kinda nice to take a step back every now and then and take in the entirety of what I’ve done over the last year and some weeks. Wait, that sounded pretty arrogant… “yeah, look at me, I’m awesome because I drew 100 comic strips”. Actually, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Self-confidence has never been a virtue of mine (I am an artist, after all), but for someone who has had trouble over the years getting things started and then actually following through, it’s a pretty big accomplishment.

So I wanted to take a sec to say thanks to everyone who has supported me over the last year, especially my wife, Sarah, for not only putting up with me spending all that time drawing but also for helping me get through some bouts with writer’s block and brainstorming ideas with me. You’re the best!

In case you haven’t been to my links page lately, my friend Sean recently started a new site called MyRobotFriends.com. It’s a really cool concept – he creates an illustration featuring one of his friends as a robot in a different style that suits their particular brand of robot-ness.

Anyway, I have the honor of being this week’s featured robot (you can see the thumbnail preview here but you really should click it to go to the site). Sean drew a really awesome manga-style gnome-bot that I must rip off and incorporate into a future strip at some point

Also, Sean is a web designer, so his site is pretty sweet. So go check it out and go back every week for more roboty goodness.

Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all of the men and women in the military. Almost all of us know someone who is or has served (my cousin Chris is on his way to Afganistan right now) so hopefully everyone lets them know how much we appreciate them doing the hard work so we can have the freedom be silly back here at home. Stay safe.

Thanks,
Brad
