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 I was, um... a weird kid.

I visited the legendary Xerox PARC shortly after completing the comic and they offered to print it for me on their humungous format printer. In 2008, the print-out was exhibited at New York's Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art and Bowling Green University as an artifact of webcomics history.

Anything more than ten years old is like the dead sea scrolls in webcomics.
