The Quick Rundown: FEW and FAR Between made its “Web-ut” on March 27, 1995, as a daily strip called the NOO Greak KOLLUM. These gag-oriented strips are re-presented here on a week-by-week basis. During the first half of 1997, the NOO Greak Kollum existed as the weekly tNGK Simfunnies, full-page, full-color strips that turned out to be a transition from the daily strips of tNGK to the comic book stories of FaFB that came next. The strip has continued in said comic book format since then, as FEW and FAR Between. Some of those stories are available here, from the list with descriptions to the right. (Other stories have been removed from the Archives, as they are being reprised and reframed with new elements, starting with “Small World”, and continuing in “Copper, Wood, and Crystal” and “Old Neighbors”.) During the “downtime” between the longer tales, I post single-page “Scenes” which you'll find gathered here.

tNGK Simfunnies of 1997

From January 6 through June 22 of 1997, the NOO Greak Kollum existed as the weekly tNGK Simfunnies, full-page, full-color strips that tried to weave a couple of themes and colors across a twenty-panel grid. I don't think I realized it at the time, but it was a transition from the daily strips of tNGK to the comic book stories of FaFB.
