What is "The Lodge"?
Yes it may be hard to believe that I am the only person that works on the Comic, but it is true. It all started as an assignment for one of my classes. The assignment was just to come up with an idea for a strip that I would update weekly or Bi-weekly. I based most of the stories on my adventures living away from home and hanging out with my friends and roommates up here in Tallahassee.
Soon I was receiving some very positive feedback from people in my class and from my roommates. So I decided to keep this going and slowly began to develop different styles and ideas for future stories.
Now even though the class is drawing to an end I've decided to keep it going and update the Comic on this web site. Hopefully I'll continue to receive positive feedback and perhaps later on I will find someone that will help me expand the idea that was a distant thought a few months ago.
