A Little Help From My Friends
About a year ago I sent out a message on FACEBOOK to a group of my friends talking about how I was going to do a book about our high school years.
I put out a call for photos and told them to tell stories, whatever. They all came through with flying colors. Special shout out to Caleb Lewis and Jodi Grutz. They kept tons of photos from back then. They have been invaluable to me as far as reference. Clothing especially hair and stuff is all coming from these photos they kept.
I also reached out to a few people telling them I may swipe a few things for a few characters. Everyone was very nice and seemed cool with it… I’m glad because I felt awkward. I really love making this and hope the people that helped will read it one day and get a kick out of it.
The name of the band in this comic is MAGNESIUM MAMA… That was a real band made up of real people that played really funny and embarrassing songs… Perfect fodder for a funny book. So I just wanted to thank all those people in public. When I draw I have those photos and my old yearbooks out for reference on those redneck mullets.
Anyhoo. Thanks and see you Sunday for a new page.
