Crappy Background Information that no one wants to read!


    I first thought up Karma Burger when I was wasting time on the Emode website. I took the Karma test and at the end of it, it told me how many Karma Points I had earned.  Now I guess that sorts of makes sense, but at first I was like,  "What? KARMA points? So is spiritualism all commercial now? Can you trade your Karma Points for cool Karma stuff?"
So yeah, that's where the Karma came from. The reason Shawn works at a fast food place as opposed to, say, a robotic-weasel Manufactuary and Habitrail, is because right now I work at a fast-food place.  What fast-food place do I work for? A major one. Haha, cause that's like a line from Fight Club... so... uhh... ahem.
Yeah, I thought it would be funny to put all the memorable events of my job into a webcomic. Obviously I was wrong, but you live,  you learn.  Most of these events are all based on something.  Like the time I dropped a spatula in our deep fryer, thought about trying to get it out, then just clocked out and left instead.
They say that to this very day, our customers shit plastic, but this is nothing compared to that time I accidently cleaned the tables at a pizza place with a poisonous liquid. Oops. Just call me accident-prone/subconciously evil.

DEVELOPERS DIARY

3/6/04

I should have been doing this from the beginning. It's kind of interesting to see how this is developing. In the beginning, Karma Burger was just an idea. I had no idea what kind of media I wanted to represent it. Initially, I was going to just write it. Short story, novel... I didn't know how it would turn out.  Then, it was going to be an actual comic book. Then the idea submerged for a month or so. It reappeared a week or two ago in the form of a webcomic. The webcomic has since dwindled to a sort of graphic diary with one picture representing a few lines of text.  Well, it's sort of changed again. See, the first few trials of the comic weren't that interesting. Work rarely is.  So it should have been obvious from the start that I can pretty much make up whatever I want. I can take all the facts that I've written down in my day planner, and twist them until they're entertaining. I mean, sure, having demons represent customers is pretty understandable when you work in the services, but why just have them act like normal, obtuse people, when they can be rampaging it up. Also, it's important to enjoy drawing the comics, and it's always fun just drawing random beasts, so I think the graphic diary works for me.  Maybe I'll throw in some actual panel comics once in a while, but I'm not promising anything.
