About
Hi, my name is Alex. This page will introduce you to The Universe As Comic.
How It Started
In 2007, I decided it was time I got involved in the Blog world. So, I started a blog called, The Universe As. On the blog, I intended to record and share my megalomanic visions concerning such questions as, What is the meaning of life?, Where did the Universe come from?, Why does government suck?, and How can people live better more fulfilling lives? After minor blogging success and months of writing, I began to reminisce about that not so old Art degree I spent 5 years earning. That reminiscing led me to start doodling. And that doodling gave birth to a comic world of bozos (clown people).
About The Comic
The Universe As comic combines pictures and jokes with subjects mostly concerning personal development and money. The comics are designed to make important information that can sometimes be overly complex and somber into something fun, palatable, and often also irreverent.
The Universe As comic is an alternate exploration of the under utilized comics genre best represented by Matt Groening’s (Simpson’s creator) Life in Hell series of self-help comics. There are tons of varieties of super hero comics and one-panel, one-joke comics, but not personal development/self help comics. The Universe As comic is a step in changing that.
