About
THE COMIC:
Button Press began in November 2007. Since then it has enjoyed numerous technical difficulties, website hopping, missed deadlines and all those other things that really remind me that starting a webcomic was a very foolish thing to do if I enjoy my free time at all. That said, it's nearly always fun in the end, if nothing else so that I have a facility to basically share with everyone, the random goings-on in my head.
THE SCHEDULE:
Button Press is updated every week, on Wednesday’s (Tuesday night if comics are completed on time, Wednesday evening if they're not). In the event of a delay or sudden burst of crazy inspiration, comics might also appear on Saturdays. Probably not though.
THE CAST:
The characters of Button Press are not based on real people.
They aren’t named after or designed on people I know, but
some characters here and there are inspired by people I have
met. No I will not put you in the comic if you ask me.
THE CREW:
Vic - Hey hey, I'm Vic. I'm the writer/artist/creator of Button Press. I currently reside in sunny Cornwall, England. When I'm not watching movies or drawing BP I work at a local Deli Counter, produce artwork for a variety of people/purposes and attempt to use the time left over to put a dent into my massive list of personal art/animation projects. Comic creation takes up a great percentage of my week, from initial inspiration/conception to final artwork and occasionally dialogue-tweaking with my sometimes-cowriter, Olly.
Olly - Olly was unavailable for comment. His absence has thus far been explained merely by the hurriedly scribbled note left in his room, saying something about escaping from Lybians. Possibly more from him later.
FAQ:
1) Where does the name ‘Button Press’ come from? Honestly? I have no
idea. I was trying to decide what to call the comic and the
name popped into my head one day and it stuck.
2) If webcomic characters are based on the artists, are you Steve or Eric? Actually I'm a bit of everyone. I've put my words in the mouth of every character at some point or another, and there are aspects of my personality present in all of them too.
3) Don't you think Steve's hair is a bit OTT? Try telling him that.
4) Can I get a T-shirt like the ones the characters wear in the comic? T-shirt printing is currently under investigation, and all the main designs will hopefully soon be posted on the site for purchase.
GUEST COMICS:
I am very into the idea of guest comics. If you have one,
feel free to send it to me.
