Pixel Comic Strip #1 by Alan Jones

About Pixel Comic Strip and its creator  – Alan Jones

Alan has been drawing Pixel comic strips for a few years, but he didn’t publish them anywhere except his Facebook. Alan is working in the IT world and he always had a fascination with the overlaps between the digital and the real.

Here is what Alan says about his comic strip

Pixel’s life is, at this stage, fairly simple. I’m happy with this stage of his development with very few characters. There is ample room for more characters and staging, but I think it’s important that he develops a character before we add more. I do plan, however, to develop Pixel, his relationships, new characters and stages. I’m particularly interested in him finding his nemesis – not sure who that is just yet.

Pixel is created entirely on computer in Vector format so all Pixel panels can be scaled to any size without loosing resolution.

Meet the Pixel Characters:

Pixel is the hero of my panel. He’s a cynical underachiever, trying very hard to make sense of the digital world and the possibilities beyond.

Al Gore-ithm is Pixel’s best friend, super intelligent Al is savy and way ahead of what’s current in technology developments. But Al has an over-reliance on what he thinks he knows.

Text is a very basic character. I have only used him once in a panel, but he adds some really great depth for the main characters to work off of.

Text expresses himself through his style: “Bold”, “Caps”, “Underline”, etc.

Sound File is a sneaky one. He lives to give other characters a fright.

I have hinted at other characters in the strip, like the hot Graphics Processor who will probably become Pixel’s girlfriend.

Others I’m thinking about are WAN and LAN (twins from Japan) and perhaps a BUS Driver (he may even be a Serial BUS Driver!).

Now that you got acquainted with the story behind Pixel and it’s characters, here is the first Pixel Comic Strip created by Alan for Pixel77:
