Around the same time that Philip began recruiting me into the Steve and Mac project, I began to get some ideas... strange, sureallistic ideas of another webcomic while at work one day. A few jokes sprung to mind, then the character designs, and after some doodling and sketching and writing down of notes, Strangely Normal was born. Intended to be a part-time project on the side to Steve and Mac, I intentionally kept the art simple and the jokes brief... unlike Steve and Mac, which demanded verbose jocularity and detailed artistic endeavors, to use a few big words.

As time went on, I began to strip the comic down even further, and simplified the art style once again when I developed the new style for Steve and Mac, adopting a few of the influences that I put into Steve and Mac while sprinkling in a little bit of something else into SN. In addition, I stripped some of the jokes down even further until I began producing a few single-panel strips, which were a challenge in themselves because of the difficulty in making a one-panel comic without making it look like filler. Coincidentally, the new style I developed for Steve and Mac is in still in use today, and I consider the later comics of SN to better portray the vision I originally had for the comic.

At first it went smoothly, and complimented Steve and Mac, but as time wore on I started to realize how much it was taking out of me, and when I stepped back and looked at what I'd created objectively, I knew how much SN had lost its edge, saw how much it'd lost its style, and I knew she'd run her course... it was time to end Strangely Normal, before I made it a parody of itself.

BUT, the number 100 always seemed a nice round figure for a webcomic, a milestone of sorts. So, I decided that I'd take SN'S run to 100, but there the road had to end. And that's how the last mini-storyline came to be, both out of necessity and out of a want to do a little parody of sorts of the whole Enron thing. And as it got closer to the end and I was making the comics, I started to get a little sad at the ending of the comic (best portrayed through comic #99), but at the very end, she went out just as she came in...

And how's that, you ask? Read and find out... ;)

- Peace, Love, and Much Happiness. Deuce... Kevin... OUT.
