Breakfast at Tivoli

Experience downtown Denver campus life with Rob and Sara. They comment on campus topics and zany stuff that matter like the terror that is parking and burritos. Currently appears in CU Denver's newspaper "The Advocate."

Grit is overrated, Ellen.

The world needs more lively fare. Just been one thing after another, I guess.

Keep your head up, love, and enjoy life.

Meanwhile, I'm a little bummed by recent developments, but I'm going to follow my own advice to keep my head up and enjoy life. It is a great one after all!

RE: Breakfast at Tivoli update

Not gritty enough? Bah! I like your work because it isnt' gritty! I wonder what the editor's real axe was? Glad to see you updated it, though. Look forward to your graduate work.

RE: Breakfast at Tivoli update

I guess editors don't like stuff that's "too unique". Drunk party college strips are pretty par for the course. That's okay -- it's a blessing in disguise, you'll have more time to work on projects that are the most fulfilling to you.

Consistently charming and unexpected, Breakfast at Tivoli is one of the high comedic peaks of the comicspace-verse. Outstanding stuff!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you like my animations. Sometimes you can get discouraged working in the animation medium. The ends only BARELY justify the means most of the time. Thanks again.

Ellen! Mega cool! Meow!

Wow, you've been busy! I agree with Stan, the figure drawing valentine's day one is awesome!

Cheers,

Michael

These are very nice. I really like Rob. I can relate to him in many ways.
#41 was oversized though - but I'm sure you can fix that up. Thanks again for sharing your nice work, and college experiences.

[ Posted by Manganese on Feb 4th, 2007 11:49 PM ]... Thank you for telling me the mistake. I fixed it, but sadly it got pushed to second to last. Oh well, I'll reorder these once the features are complete. Thanks again :D On a side note, I published a new comic. I think I'll do it every Sunday...so yes people who don't read the newspaper see it first ^^

Wow! There's a LOT of strips there, Ellen! I especially love that life drawing episode!

Thanks for the add, Ellen. Haven't heard much from you as of late (seeing all those snow storms in Colorado didn't put me at ease), so I hope you had a happy holiday and a happy new year.

Okay, perhaps Ellen is a NEW member of the Squid Works, but she's a grizzled veteran of the webcomics scene -- an elegant storyteller. Do yourself a favor and check out her 24-Hour Comic from this year's Denver 24-Hour Comics Challenge, "Guardian Angel."
