Benny Bunny On Wheels - production blog

I have reached the point at which creating a comic book is the most joyful. I've reached the point where the gears are well greased and the drawing is flowing effortlessly, and the pages have stacked up in such a quantity that it's fully a book as opposed to a few scattered pages. Every page I draw, I want to scan it and put it up for you to see right away. It takes serious effort to keep them under wraps and not spoil any surprises.

I am having so much fun making this comic book. I'm reminded of the afternoons I used to spend in the house on Bathurst Street, when I was working feverishly to build a series but hadn't started selling on the street yet. Back then it was more important for the work to be fun than to be good. I really got distracted away from the point with the last few comic books I made, and I think that's why I had to take a hiatus from comics for a while. I'm having so much fun making this one, and I just get more and more excited to put it out there and see what you fans, especially the ones who have been patiently waiting all this time, have to say about it.

I remember a girl named Erika I used to spend a lot of time with. When I would come out with a new comic book, she would always compliment me on "the animation". I never corrected her, and in fact I took her choice of that word as high praise. I assumed that what she meant was that when she looked at the pages, they came to life in her head and that there was a real feeling of action and life and vitality in them. I think that Erika would really love the animation in Benny Buny On Wheels.

How to not make shitty comics when you mean to

I'm looking at the pages I'm drawing for Benny Bunny On Wheels and I notice that I get so caught up in what I'm drawing that I forget that it's supposed to be in my quick, bad-art style. A page should take no longer than three hours, but the last couple have taken upwards of six. I keep forgetting that although this comic book is supposed to be silly, fun, and ridiculous, it's not supposed to be good!

Early '08 accomplishments

So I guess things are starting to ramp up.

The rating just came out and Ed & Red's Night Party is back up up at #1 in its timeslot with men and - for the first time in the 14 year history of the show - with women as well. I'm not saying that's because of my contribution, but I'll just privately believe that's the case.

The video of my rap performance on the show is up to 90,000+ views on YouTube, and was recently featured as the video of the day.

I'm looking very forward to a packed travel itinerary over the next few months, and I just found out that I am adding Spring Break in Panama City, Florida to my list of destinations.

And Benny Bunny On Wheels is turning out awesome.

Many thanks to all of my fans and supporters. This is all a lot of fun!
