SURPRISE!
So. Ten years and a week after I posted the last Scam! comic, I present this semi-new Scam! comic.
I started drawing the top three panels of this piece in July of 2006, but for whatever reason I abandoned it.
Ten years later, I finished this page.
It’s going to lead to a bigger story concerning what our hero has been up to for the past decade.

Prodigal Scam! © 2016 Jose Garibaldi
It feels great to get back into comics again.
Since 2006, I have been out of the loop with sequential art (at least in terms of anything available to the public).
Aside from Scam!, I’m also working on a regular series that will be announced soon.
When I look back on much of my older work, I cringe over the content. Quite a bit of offensive ignorance on my part.
Though at the time I felt my intentions were good, my attempts at shock and satire fell flat.
Time has turned a spotlight on these failures (at least for me), and it’s something I think about a lot.
Maturity might not be apparent in the strip above (since it was started in 2006), but if I continue Scam!
on a weekly basis, I do hope it better reflects the growth I’ve made as a person.
Thanks!
