Apartment 3G

Several years ago, I was browsing the comics section of the newspaper. Instead of just simply reading Doonesbury and The Far Side (yeah, I think it was that long ago) and ignoring the rest of the filler that I never paid attention to, I started focusing on the old school "Mellow-Drama" comics. Apartment 3G, Rex Morgan MD, and the like. I kinda found them amusing. In the same way that one could watch a Soap Opera maybe once every month or so, because the plot just moved at a hobbled pace, so did these three panel comics. And to make life move that slowly in a comic, some drastic measures took place. Measures that many times warped into surreal vignets. I started to look at each panel on their own...looking for unintended stories or moods in each panel. I found once in a while this would yield some truely bizarre events. The image posted here is one such panel. I mean, just imagine how this panel could have had anything to do with a year long story arc. It couldn't have, and since I only saved this panel...I have no idea if it did. Regardless, It prevoked me to want to make this a persuit of mine. Persuit of the hidden art in the Soap Opera comic. Well, as is the case with most of my brilliant ideas, I would forget about it for a while (not recieving the paper on a daily basis didn't help much either) and then occasionally return to the idea. I know I have a few more of these in my piles of papers...so as I find them I'll try and post them.
