My Obsession with Chess (1998-1999)
My fourth online comic seemed to strike a chord with many readers, despite requiring side-scrolling as well as down-scrolling (which I'll admit, can be pretty annoying).

This one's autobiographical; an account of a childhood obsession with "the most violent game" and how that obsession returned in my late twenties. It's all true, but pretty weird, 'cause, um... I was a weird kid.

This was the first time I got a hint of some of the storytelling techniques available in what I later dubbed the "infinite canvas" of digital comics (see Reinventing Comics and I Can't Stop Thinking! for more).
