Here's the second strip of The Musician's Mind, the interactive graphic novel I've been working on. The story is about Parker Sanningham, a concert pianist who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and disappears at the height of his career.
In the first strip, he kept the orchestra waiting to start the Friday rehearsal because he couldn't remember how to start the third movement of the piano concerto he would be performing Saturday night. This was a first for him - he is normally totally in control.
In this second strip, despite his memory glitch on Friday, Parker's Saturday performance is stellar. After the performance, he takes a quick call from his wife Vanessa. He can't talk long, though, because he has to be at a reception for concert hall patrons and donors. At the reception, he explains his theories about the twin truths of math and music. Awfully sure of things, isn't he?
Question for readers: should I call this a graphic novel or a web comic? Which is easier to understand?
Definitely Graphic Novel. The word "comic" could send the wrong message. BHH

Of the 2 I prefer graphic novel. Web comic-doesn't have a nice ring.
But whatever you call it-
it is a jewel!
