Original Characters Tracing Images
These are tracing images of the original Comic Strip Factory characters. We’re making some of the new characters based on some of these, but we won’t get to them all right away, and some maybe never. They’re good source material if you want to get some practice drawing characters. (See the demo video, “Making Parts by Tracing.”)
Nostalgia
Comic Strip Factory's first incarnation for the new Macintosh computer shipped in 1986, published by Foundation Publishing. The product was a collaboration of former employees of Softalk magazine, an Apple ][ magazine which sadly ceased publication in 1984. David Durkee wrote the application, Trici Venola created the characters, and Kurt Wahlner drew the backgrounds. They all moved on to other pursuits and when the product stopped working with new Macs and versions of the Mac OS a few years later, it was taken off the market.
We recently scanned the original manual and you can see or download it here:
