While I'm preparing the second comic in the RoboMafia series, here is a bit about how it all started.

I've been wanting to draw comics like for ever but was never really good at drawing. Copying was more of my thing. So I had this scene in my head for a while which was strictly Mafia related no matter the characters involved. As this idea lingered in my head I noticed an add for a comic workshop in the area and joined it. Even before that I was slowly gathering info on how to start with this and at the workshop the idea was to simply try to create a comic on our own. So I used the sketch I already had in my head and with help from Ivan (https://ivanmitrevski.com/) I had two comics ready at the end. Since then I was working on the webpage design and preparing the ground base for a faster production of comics (more on this in future posts). Well hopefully you've already seen the result.

The idea of using robots just came to me one day as of course robots are cool and seem like a good thing to start with. But there's a catch. You've seen this theme before haven't you. And so have I. Futurama already used these theme in a couple of their episodes and now I'm afraid to go back and watch them  in order not to get contaminated by their influence :D In any case there is no way I can steer clear from the influence as the mafia theme itself is quite generic so I will be trying to reinvent at least some of it.
