I got it in my head i wanted to redraw a Little Orphan Strip in my style, so not owning a collection I scoured the internet and chose the one above. I do stuff like this from time to time but havent posted them here. How do you like the changes i made? Changing the 1920’s slang to a more readable modern speak? I thought getting rid of the policeman and giving his line to the beatup boy added humpur, did it?
First Thank-you all for sticking with me and coming back to check out what I am doing, it is encouraging knowing people choose to come and see my comics. I have been disappointed in my inconsistent art, and the obvious ”Rushed” quality i have been producing. Characters aren’t drawn the same and despite the fact i am learning these characters as i go, i am falling into “good enough” get it done trap. Sorry.
It is neat to see how as i learn the characters, they are changing the story.
Anyways, i got a motorcycle this summer, and have been focusing on improving my skills in that area, what a fun adventure. After years of wanting to get my licence, my kids are old enough that i can go on my own journeys. Now that the cold weather is here, i am back to giving my spare time to comics.

i have been listening to Deconstructing Comics for years, it is just one of those rare comic podcasts that seemed to earnestly strive to explore every aspect of the comics. Tim and company blend sincere searching questions, with understanding and experience of the medium they love. I was hestitant for years to offer up my comic for critique, but i figured if there was anyone i trusted to help me and encourage me with honesty, it would be Deconstructing Comics. so i sent them an email, and they graciously checked it out.
Thank you Adam and Tim, i really appreciate the time you took to read the strip, the encouraging words definitely inspire me to keep moving forward.
Thanks To Brian who keeps this site going, who gave me the kick to try webcomics 14 years ago.
Thanks to my readers who stuck with me, i encourage you subscribe to Deconstructing Comics, its like sitting at cozy coffee shop hearing earnest friends talk about things they deeply care about.
