While I was attending high school I was asked to draw some comics for the school newspaper. I drew 12 proofs for the first comic that was put in the paper. I showed the proofs to the editor she chose a couple and I redid them and they were then put into the paper. I will put all 12 on my flickr site, but I will choose some of my favorite to put up here.
Pokemon was at its heyday at the time, so I decided to play on popular culture at the time. Yeah, I know that it seems dumb now! There were kids at my high school who would have said that they were above, and yet they still liked it. I was not as much into the drawing back then. I put more effort into the wit. I think that I liked the contrast of bad drawing with the off the wall humor. Maybe I just say that because I can't draw.
