So I'm Starting a Comic Strip

And I'm even illustrating it myself! I can't do much until I get myself a new pad of Bristol, but here's a primer of the protagonists! Their names (from left) are Samuel, Rad, and Tay. They go to private school, and hang out on the playground and generally look at the world the way kids do (or at least the way I do pretending to be kids). As you can probably tell from their character concepts, they come from three very different backgrounds, and a major part of the strip will be the prejudice of their parents viewed through the progeny, and the misfit children's views on the world. I'll probably spend the next week further developing the characters, and I'll post more info on them as I go! And hopefully after that I can set up a good system for an update schedule, and be like a real comics artist!

Here's the three:

Working title for this strip is "Motley". Or maybe "Motley Private School", but that sounds a little Manga-Highschool-Drama like. "Motley Academy"? I'm open to suggestions, guys!

  1. They look SWEEET. Also I kind of like "Motley Private School," but I'll keep thinking about it.

  2. What about a title with the word recess or playground or jungle-gym or something? Motley-Go-Round? Anyway, looking forward to reading it!
