After a stint of feeling like I was just drawing these comics out of habit I am back to being enthusiastic about Glen and I think it shows. This week I went back to the basics and showed Glen in the same light he was in when I first started drawing him some 20+ years ago! Somehow this seems fitting.
Glen first appeared when I was a teenager and he was supposed to be the many-times-great-grandson of the hookah smoking caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. As such I gave the hookah back to him and he seems very happy about this! I was a well behaved teen so how I ended up penning a clearly stoner comic is still beyond me. I’m OK with this though. I have no control of the appeal my creations have and that’s part of the beauty of life.
The Making of Glen
This week’s comic was super simple so I don’t have much to say about it other than I traced the hornworm and the hookah and had to work more on his facial expressions. This does not come naturally to me.
