Potatoman Begins Finale Pre-Release Post and Thoughts

Posted by ChazDude - August 9th, 2017

T-minus 24 hours (give or take) 'til release from the point of this post being published.


So, tomorrow's the day that Potatoman Begins finally wraps up. To celebrate, here's a bunch of facts not just about the finale, but about the whole series in general! It's a bit hefty:

  • Time taken: 29 June 2016 - 17 June 2017 (11 months, 2 weeks and 5 days)
  • Combined filesize: Approximately 42.3 Megabytes (pretty 'effin' yuge)
  • Number of panels: 170+154+173+221 across four chapter = 718​

As mentioned earlier, catch up with the rest of the series here: Chpt 1 . Chpt 2 . Chpt 3


In late 2015/early 2016 I made a comic containing a Potatoman reference in the background. That poster wasn't just a reference however (as suggested by one reviewer):

I supposed that last paragraph of mine didn't quite make it in. Oh well.

By April of the following year I had begun writing Potatoman's backstory in my sketchbook. While I had to sacrifice one of the three-weekly D&C strips to make room for it, I felt it was time for some storytelling, not just the usual humourous gags. Thursday marks the end of that journey into heroism. It's been fun doing something truly story-driven over the past year or so. And in the future, I hope to continue that!

On a related note, I've been posting concept art of the series on Patreon, so if you're hungry for that and more, consider pledging!

But for now, prepare for the end...of the beginning...TOMORROW!

See ya!
