Yep, this was the first strip. Wanting to do a newspaper strip for my college paper, but not having a good idea, I came up with this thought: What if you woke up in a dream? And then you couldn't get back out? I drew up this strip with no clear idea of where I was going. Fortunately, as with most stories I start, as soon as I get a good beginning, ideas start piling up. Thankfully, my art got better as I went along, too.
