Back to School Mural; Behind the Scenes

So I'm just a few short days back from a fun trip to Texas when I realize we're torpedoing into Halloween territory.  Any San Franciscan worth their salt in bio bags has a good nature toward Halloween, with costumes and spook spilling out of every corner of town.  Before I prep Q's walls with ghostly decor, I wanted to highlight September's "Back to School" mural.

The idea was simple: kids marching to the bus, upset; parents cheering.  I rumbled around with exactly how I wanted to do this, and as you can see I think the end result is a good combination of all these drafts;

UPDATES and Shake Downs

Another grey San Franciscan summer has bloomed toward the fall.  Between a great flow of new faces in Q Restaurant, visiting family and a trip or two, I've sat and stewed on quite a few drawings that are making their way up and out.  But in the middle of all my dubious scanning, I receive an email from Mr. Urban Quint, my 7th Grade Biology teacher from Rifle Middle School.  Having recently run into my parents, Mr. Quint felt compelled to sent me a photo of a poster I crafted for him in 7th grade, still in his possession:

27 Jennifers

Greetings!

27 Jennifers seems to be the best mix of feminine might to keep new comics and jokes on the rise.  So giving credit where credit is due, I introduce to you all 27 Jennifer (and some new guy names Courtney)

Greetings!


It's a fresh April morning and I just got done getting all the chalk off my hands-

Sunday Rain and Comics

Hey All!
Since we're in the midst of a downpour, since morale is low and vitamin D is ebbing, I thought we could all gather around the warm glow of a MILK TOAST premiere!

March Cover- Before and Afters

Hello All!
If you haven't cruised by the slowly emerging BGC mainpage, do so- the dance-tacular March cover has debuted and it's the party of the century!  I had too much fun crafting the dance floor, so I thought I'd share some of my favorites,





Best,

And Also

A neat before and after,

"Hey Andy, are your 'toons up yet?"

The slow and steady construction/compilation of BY GEORGE COMICS.COM continues to be a driven endeavor.  Thanks to all the supporters who keep me going by simply saying "Can't Wait,"

So in the meantime, here's a MILK TOAST Premiere!
