Yo

I’ve always admired people that know how to program. These people make things come alive by typing some weird mumbo jumbo into a text editor, or whatever they use. All I know is that it’s all text and I don’t have the slightest clue how they do it. Okay, I know SOME programming, if you count HTML… (x_x;) I also know some CSS (does that count as programming?) and some Actionscript 3, which is very fun to work with. I only know the basics though… I’m thinking about learning more about it after I’m done with this comic and I’ve gotten settled in my new apartment and all that. I’ve actually got some verrrry easy things done with AS3, and what I love about programming is the feeling of joy when the things you’ve done are actually working. And the more complicated it gets, the bigger the joy :)
I think I’ve already mentioned this, but I really want to start making my own games, you know. It’s a dream I’ve had since I was a kid. I know it’s NOT impossible, but you have to be smart to do it. And you have to know some math too I think…
I’M TRYING TO THINK BUT NOTHING’S HAPPENING… hah!, just kidding :D That was just something I heard on the Howard Stern Show the other day. It’s some kind of sound effect they play sometimes, and I thought it kind of sums up how I feel when I try to program :p

Well… it’s getting late, so I think I’m going to wrap things up here, watch some “Happy Console Gamer” on YouTube (EXCELLENT video-game-review-guy), while practicing my drawing skills and head to bed.

Enjoy the comic!

PS: That’s hot chocolate their drinking. I’ll add a note to the page later… (＾ω＾;)

Hello everyone and welcome to my webcomic ‘Pierre the Baking Cat’!

This is the first serious attempt at making a webcomic I’ve ever done. I don’t know much about anything that revolves making comics really, so I guess we’ll see how it goes :D The only thing I know is that it’s a lot of hard work and that I’ll have to be persistent and don’t give up! Don’t worry, I won’t! (^v ^ )

To the right you can see my Twitter-feed, here you can follow my progress with the comic between my posts here on the website. I’ll twit about stuff like how far I’ve come with the comic pages, what I’m doing at the moment and maybe post some useful or funny links from time to time.

Oh, and this comic reads from RIGHT to LEFT – Japanese style baby! (’ ▽ ‘ ) I know some of you are going to have a problem with this, but to my defence I can tell you it’s for a reason.

Except for wanting to tell you this story about Pierre, I’m also making this comic because I’m planning to enter contests with it; like the ‘Morning International Comic Competition’ for instance, which specifically welcome foreign comic creators.
There are other contests too (Japanese ones) that require your work to be in Japanese, black & white and of course, read from right to left…

As for me, it has become second nature to read this way. I lived in Japan for over 5 years, I have always loved manga and even now when I’m back home (in Sweden), if I go to the book store to pick up a manga, it still reads from right to left.
How about your country? Do the company that translates the manga also make it read from left to right?

Anyways, if you can live with the fact that the comic reads this way, and also that I’m a complete beginner at making comics I hope you’ll be able enjoy the comic as much as I enjoy making it!

Peace! (^▽^)v
