Invisible me: the beginnings

Invisible Me is an accident.

It was inspired by the life of a guy who hangs out in the povray.off-topic newsgroup, where the fans of the 3D raytracing program POV-Ray blow steam between two renderings. This nice chap, who goes by the telling nickname of Invisible, is a frequent poster there and has become some sort of well-loved mascot, due to the nature of his postings, that often deal with the loneliness and social inadequacies of nerdish IT workers like himself (he also has a blog here).

As he lamented about his own inability do draw something as simple as a web comic, a couple of us started demonstrating how one could draw a comic without drawing at all. In a few minutes, I had a few Invisible Me strips done in Powerpoint using standard speech balloons, the Akbar font? and some quotes of the real Invisible.



At this point, I really don't know how many Invisible Me strips I'll be able to make before I run out of ideas. When the creative juices stop flowing, I'll stop.

DISCLAIMER: this is a work of fiction. The real Invisible is a much nicer person than my imaginary, utterly lonely and completely invisible Invisible.
