MoreLikeBlue vs Perpetual Workday
It's a no contest that MoreLikeBlue is better. I just want to clear the air in a single post to my critics who made reference to Perpetual Workday being a rip off.
I make no reservations that PW was inspired by MLB. Most blatantly in terms of style. It's a style I admire and have been shocked that it isn't emulated more. That's why PW stands out in comparison.
The F.U. series was inspired design-wise by Bonus Stage. No one ever picked up on that because everyone was using that style at the time. It was a simple design that was also beautiful. Just like MLB.
Secondly, critics have compared both in terms of being in an office setting. This is more coincidental. The series that I have done have a natural progression that reflect where I am in my life. I started Pendleton County High after high school and I started F.U. after college - both reflect these periods in my life. Now, PW reflects my work life.
Additionally, I've read comments that the humor was similar. Really it is not - that's just my humor. If you go back to my submissions from years ago you will see essentially the same comedy structure.
Lastly, the opening scenes are similar. Well...ok that is a blatant rip off. Actually more of an homage to MLB's opening scene. I just love the idea of opening credits on a space backdrop.
I did my first official production work on Perpetual Workday: Tuesday - or 2sday as it is now called. More on that in coming weeks.

Ignore those critics. No one that matters thinks that you ripped off MoreLikeBlue. Your flash may have been inspired by MoreLikeBlue, but it is still your unique flash. I hope to see more of your work soon.
