I recall hangng in my Dad’s home office when he gave me a stick of blank paper and said “Here, draw something on these.” The five year old me sat quietly say for hours.

As I became a teenage I created comics and showed them to my friends (who knew all the character and were big fans).

After college I worked on several animated features and TV series (Simpsons, Garfield, Bobby’s World).

And after a second career running my own studio and teaching, I returned to creating a comic. I began with creating complex characters and gave them a purpose (find a home), and let them run amok.

I sought to make a story for all ages, adults and mature kids (one unsavory character occasionally lightly swears. What can you do?).

No dry run. No rough draft. No storyboard.

Just a real-time developing story.

What happens next? Who knows?
