Cartooning with Mike Kunkel Week 5 - 6

The subject for Weeks 5 and 6 in Mike’s class was comic strips. This was something I was really excited to learn more about. Growing up, I always picked out the Sunday comics from the newspaper to read all the strips with artwork I loved. Garfield, Peanuts, and Family Circus were a few of my favorites. For the assignment, we had the option to use a provided script or create our own. I chose the latter since I've had an alligator character living in my brain for the past 40 years. One of the few core memories I have left as a child was seeing a sketch of an alligator in my mom’s sketchbook when she was studying fashion. For some reason, it stuck with me and I think it was the impetus for me to even start drawing at an early age.
