No Crap! was created some time in 2002. I’d imagine situations, and suddenly characters started showing up in these situations, and became regulars. The setting was originally Alligator Music, and everything expanded from the shenanigans that went on there. However, I did not manage to put together some form of a plot and character design for two years. I was finally able to release the bloody thing in November 2004.

The name “No Crap!” is solely based on a sign that is posted on the Alligator store window, and is not referring to the comic itself or any kind of positive advertisement. I don’t like to make presumptions like that, especially in regards to something of opinion. The exclamation point IS part of the title.

There are characters and situations taken from my personal life, but everything and everyone is an exaggeration of what I have experienced or of a person I’ve met. Only a few running jokes or phrases are taken directly from real life and applied to the comic.

No Crap! has always been an experiment, in both story-writing, and art. I really started this comic with only a partial first chapter, and upon finishing the first chapter, realized it to be a very long prologue. The “plot” is constantly developing and changing on whims mainly. I try to stay true to character development, but cannot promise I will not change the setting or environment, or even the genre. No Crap! is about the experiences of a certain group of people and their perspectives on the world around them. Don’t be shocked if you start seeing some weird, strange things! It is all a process.
