Peach Head Mascot

I’ve been going through old boxes of drawings and sketchbooks and I came across this guy. I drew him back in ’96 as kind of an alternative for the famously scorned Atlanta Olympic Mascot, Izzy.

The old Soviet test.

Things are about to get interesting…and a lot harder to draw! Also, I’d like to remind readers to check the Club page periodically, because I update it both as the story progresses and as I feel the need to elaborate on certain characters that may not be obvious in the story.

Serik’s Test.

Coach speaks in English so everyone can hear. Good thing Drew took Russian as an undergraduate!

Well, despite my busy week, I got my page done and uploaded before the weekend. So for 25 weeks in a row I’ve managed to post a page. Not bad, eh?

The Return of the Olympians

I’m enjoying this style so far, playing with the negative spaces. I think I’ll keep it up for a while. The comic is still more labor intensive than I’d like it to be, though. In fact, next week I’m not at all confident that I’ll be able to get my page done, due to a clinic I’m attending next weekend. I haven’t missed a page yet, though, in 24 weeks, so I’m not anxious to break my streak. I will at least promise to have something new up next week, even if it’s just artwork, so please stop by anyway. Plus I’ll have some juicy stuff from the fencing clinic to blog about later that week, so there’s still lot’s of good stuff for you!

T’s Place.

I dropped my husband at the airport today and just happened to be there when one of the squadrons was returning from deployment. I lingered for awhile to see if there was anybody I knew and to let my son listen to the band. My heart goes with those guys every single time.

I’ve introduced a Marine character so that I can bring up some issues that are important to me. Which reminds me…I’m behind on some care packages I owe! Maybe on one of my blog posts I’ll write about how/what to include in a care package.

Wakey wakey.

Whoa, I got this one done early this week! Some days it seems the less time I spend on a comic, the better it turns out because I don’t obsess over the details.

Anyway, I tried to pack more story into the page this time, so you have a little more to sink your teeth into. Hope you like it!

Cue “Eye of the Tiger” here.

WOW. This page took me a lot longer than it should have. The last few pages dragged on a little longer than I meant them to. I need to cram more story and dialogue into less space. I’ll work on that. Hopefully I haven’t lost anyone to boredom yet!

Mental Olympics

First the Olympic Games, then the Paralympic Games. Today there’s a new opening ceremony in Beijing kicking off the first event of its kind. The First Annual World Mind Sports Games begin today. Featuring the world’s most popular strategy games, Bridge, Chess, Go, Checkers (Draughts), and Xiangqi (Chinese Chess), the idea first gained popularity in the 1990s when the Bridge and Chess associations petitioned the IOC to be included in the Olympics.

A very bad dream.
