As many of you know, writing comics is something I do at night. Considering that lots of other people do things far more devious, shameful, immoral, perverse, and disreputable with their nights, I see no shame in this.
But it means I have to do something with my days. And what I do with my days is write software. I rarely blog about this, but just in case any of you are wondering what it is all about, this small flowchart from the wonderful xkcd essentially sums up how my life works during the waking hours, Monday to Friday.

Looks like I made the cut for the Monkey On My Back Twitter Comic. Check out panel #10 for something typically MWM.
Wasn’t entirely sure how this would work, both practically and in terms of the way the story would break down, but there is certainly something interesting happening.
What I would love to see is this being done on a larger scale now – with every response Tweet getting an illustration and creating a divergent path in the story. That sort of meta-fiction fascinates me, andI think it would be amazing to see the different storylines expand, cross, converge, and even merge towards the end.
I’ve been thinking about trying to build some kind of overall narrative into the Monkeys with Macineguns Live! event based on this. I’m not sure if it will be possible, but certainly we’ll be Twittering throughout the day, so if you can’t make it to the show itself, be sure to follow us on Twitter and see how we get on.
