After reading comic books and comic strips for the first half of my life, I decided it was time to write my own. I got multiple books on how to cartoon from my library and read them through till I got ideas and invented characters and stories. After writing twenty-two books in my first series, though, I decided it was time for a change, and came up with new series and more characters. One day, I wrote a book called, “Chet Chetterson, ” but I forgot about it, and it fell behind a fridge and got lost. Two years later, somebody dug it out and gave it to me, and I finished it, and ever since, Chet has been the main character of my e-strips, books, and random drawings. I also wrote a book series called, “The Adventures of Puma Boy and Lizard Skin, ” which was modeled after my cats, Andy and Luke. Luke, being lazy and fat, made him seem like an old “lizard skin, ” and Andy’s being big and black led to his being called a “Puma boy.” My friends and family loved those comics, and so of course, when I started my e-strip, they just had to be involved. Soon after, I started my first book. It took almost a year and two times over of drawing it, but now YOU get to read it and enjoy it. Enjoy.
