The Peaa

I started drawing a family of peas based on my family – after people described my wife and me as “Peas in a Pod”. Many names end in “py” eg “HapPea; CopPea, JumpPea” etc and I came up with a family who lived in a world of peas. I later discovered a similar idea had already been used in “The Peas of Poddington” in the 70s. Unlike those Peas who live in plant pots at the bottom of a garden, my characters live in a world of peas. My grandchildren love them.
