Trying to make my own comic has been on my mind a lot lately. To be honest the main reason I haven’t seriously attempted making one is because I’m scared. Be it serendipity, I cannot say, but I ran across this article after I stumbled upon the Young American Comics site. Making Your First Mini-Comic is a really wonderful article that has put a little spring in my mental step. All this was sparked after reading an interview with Paul Hornschemeier (it’s pronounced “Hornsh-meyer”, I finally discovered) in Mome Volume 1, what R got me for Xmas.
I think I’m going to go ahead with the Bartleby and Brixton strip that R and I talked about last week. Wherein the ghost of our dead hamster Bartleby haunts our cat Brixton, and they fight all the time but deep down they are frenemies. Other people in the strip with be R and myself, Mona and Basil, in Peanut’s adult-esque appearances. No one can see or hear Bartleby but Brixton.
Or something like that … Guess I need to learn how to draw animals now.
