Sure, I mean, yeah! I think both of us want to make things full time. Successful in the sense that we’re doing it, and we’re doing what we want to do.į: Given the opportunity, you’d do this full time?
In that way, I mean it certainly could be more successful.ĭavid wants to be a professional artist, and I want to be a professional writer of some sort… whether that’s comics or not comics… David as an artist, whether it’s comics art or not comics art. Oh, we have an audience! People like what we are doing! This isn’t just for us. Successful in the sense that I guess, people read it! I think for a while, we were just making stuff and that was it. We’re going to be in a book and stuff like that. We are earning a small amount of money, and other opportunities have opened up. So you’d done other projects together before, you got started on this as a whim… you thought you could do it, and it was interesting. We just threw out the movies and stuff, because we thought “Nobody will ever watch these.‿ It’s like, just a creative venture that became successful because it was on the Internet. We discovered webcomics a few years ago, we thought “these are funny, we can do one of these‿. I think the webcomic was just an idea we had. And through the years we like to do creative stuff, movies and little comics and things like that. We’ve been friends for a really long time, we’ve been friends for over ten years, since ninth grade of high-school. My friend David and I started it about two years ago. We hope we’ve maintained the character of his conversation, but are saddened that we can’t convey the timbre of his deep manly voice. We have edited out all of the extended and well-informed commentary from Dale about the quality and meaty essentiality of his burger and what the juice felt like as it washed across his tongue and slid down his throat, and what remains is a conversational interview about his comic and his process. Fleen had a recent opportunity to speak with Dale Beran, the writer for A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible, over beer and burgers.
