Well, once again, here I am apologising for not having gotten around to posting on this, my launch pad site for the many ideas I have and the projects I undertake that you, my wonderful followers, follow.
As you can see I have been busy, and today I can announce the completion of my first comic strip submission for syndication in over 10 years. And to celebrate this mile stone I've attached the character sheet and all 30 strips, as I have submitted them, for your delectation and enjoyment.
The cartoon strip is titled simply 'Bib'. and below is the synopsis description from the cover letter that has accompanied it to the top three American Syndicates: King Features, Washington Post Writers Syndicate and Universal Uclick.

Strip Synopsis
Bib is a scientist one moment, an impressionist artist the
next, (which he slams and criticises vociferously) a child psychologist
(holding forth with his own particular brand of views and opinions, from the
coal face as it where), inventor, poet, bohemian, food critic, marriage
guidance councillor for the two argumentative garden Gnomes outside and on
Thursdays, the leader of the crèche escape committee. Other than that he
worries the cat next door, has adventures and flights of fantasy using the
kitchen pedal bin as the vehicle for his imagination; avoids the attempts of
the amorous dribbling baby from down the street, experiments through his
department of dubious sciences on his hapless Grandma, the cat next door and an even more hapless travelling salesman, and wages a campaign of
evasion against his slobbering aunt who seems unstoppable and indestructible in
her quest for a kiss and a cuddle.
In short, Bib is not your quintessential little baby strip.
He tears and howls his way through life as his diminutive little body tries to
catch up with his overly developed imagination and mind.
I hope you like what you read and please do leave any comments--- and or your thoughts--- on Bib. Also please, PLEASE do keep coming back as I have so much to share and talk to you about.
Thank you

ReplyDeleteThank you Andy. I have high hopes for this strip and I certainly enjoyed writing and illustrating it, and to have great comments like yours just makes me want to do it all the more
