Still here, still drawing, making good progress. Just so busy I haven’t had a chance to post. Here’s a rough sketch of François running that I did today.
The Big Belch project reached it’s Kickstarter goal at 9:56 a.m. today. Yahoooo! I’m thrilled.
Now I have to ramp up my drawing. No lollygagging this summer. But it feels so nice.
Thank you so much for helping me reach the goal!!!!
Monty, Maureen, Fletcher and François, environmental crime fighters, will now take on their first case. Check back here for updates.
Hey, think the idea of a methane explosion is far fetched? The permafrost in Siberia is leaking huge quantities right now and it’s really ratcheted up recently. YouTube videos of snow flaming up are impressive.
Just today I saw an article in the LA Times that methane coming up from the ocean in Santa Monica Bay created such a stench that the fire department started getting a ton of calls. And don’t forget those peat bogs.
We clearly need more parrots and French bulldogs to save the day!
Blogger Christine Grether of Ebullient! French Bulldogs from Austin, Texas both blogged and tweeted about The Big Belch. Don’t believe I’ve ever entered tweet land before. The blog post is below. Mighty nice of her.
Paws crossed for an in-depth François character study! …
Hey – starting to get some supporters. Really cool. Thank you!
Will a major oil company’s greed and foolishness spawn an environmental disaster so serious it could threaten the earth itself? And can this horror be foiled by a most unusual team: two baby boomers, a parrot and a French bulldog, who take on this oil company to save the world? That’s the plot of my new graphic novel, The Big Belch.
It’s been quite an effort to get this project ready. I hope you will take a look at my Big Belch Kickstarter project. It’s an environmental protest that might actually give you a laugh too. How often does that happen?
