About the Comic

Treading Ground is a comedy series about working-class people in their teens and early twenties.

I couldn't help but notice there were approximately one and a half assloads of webcomics out there about crazy college kids and their wacky antics, but none that depicted what the rest of us were up to at that point in our lives.  So, TG is my attempt at filling that gap, using my own experiences as a guide.

The series is set in a fictional town called Long Point, a small coastal city in the Mid-Atlantic United States.





About the Author
I started reading webcomics in late 2002, thanks to the influence of my roommates.  I started with a couple of the big ones, PvP and Penny Arcade, as well as Men In Hats.  I had always possessed a minimal level of drawing ability and the capability of forming complete and mostly coherent sentences, so I began to think that I too could run a webcomic.  After reading Avalon, I realized that the webcomic medium could be used effectively for more than just gag-a-day hijinks.

I went through several ideas before settling on Treading Ground.  Deciding that it's best to go with what you know, I borrow parts of the background of the story from my own experiences.  No one is an exact copy, but many of the characters you see are based in part on myself and/or other people I've known. (Rose, on the other hand, is completely original.)

Aside from webcomics, I'm also into astronomy, indie rock, and bicycling.  I'm not much for social networking, but you can find me on Twitter and Livejournal, send me an email at tenmazero at gmail dot com, or ask me a question on Formspring..
