writeup

Many people have heard of the Sunday Funnies I’m sure. The funnies were done with pen and ink. I remember sending submissions to King Features (Syndicate Group). The comics had to be a certain size. Most cartoonist draw their comic strips 13” wide by 4” tall. I had to draw my comics to fit onto standard 8-½” x 11” sheets of paper. I had to send 24 daily comic strips and 4 Sundays. My cartoons did not make it. There could have been several reasons why, but I never gave up, and I still loved my work and believed in it. When it comes to rules, sometimes I break them. I practice in freedom to do things my way. Sometimes I’m my own critique. I find that the things I drew in the past, I can make it better in the present and future. Ideas grow and pour onto blank pages.

The Charact

One day I drew quite a few characters, and I decided that I wanted to have my own fictional newspaper. I am always writing stories about my characters, and I wanted them to seem real as possible. At first, I came up with a website titled “West Street Journal”. I would make up front page stories of my characters in jpeg format and post them to my site. I got a kick out of doing it. Again, I must say that my ideas grew. I came up with more to do and created a second fictional newspaper creation titled “The Charact”. Char’ act is a word I took from the word Character. It is a fictional newspaper from the “West Street Journal”. The “West Street Journal” is about more than just my characters. So I decided to make a second fictional paper creation just for my characters only.

Christian Comics

There should be Christian comics in the Sunday Funnies too or maybe a paper just for Christian comics only. Then there would be Sunday Daily Funnies. Well, I draw Christian cartoons. The characters are a symbol for people in everyday life that are only human who live extraordinary lives.
