About the Comic
Draw Write Play is a series revolving around the lives of two gamer girls: Pixie, who is a an aspiring professional blogger slash bum, and Cel, a freelance illustrator and daddy’s little princess. It originally started as an experimental comic, playing with the popular gaming comic genre, twisted slightly by making the main characters female. The first strip was a direct parody of Ctrl+Alt+Del strip, and although the early strips focused on specific games, consoles, and pop culture references, the strip is now evolving into what some people are calling a “gamer soap opera”. Trying to recover from being labeled as “just another gaming comic”, the author now focuses on telling the lives of the characters, making gaming just the glue that binds all the characters together.
