As I set about drawing Glen I have been sharing the results with a lot of people. Some feel like Glen is an old familiar friend but others who are not used to this weird rubbery outburst are a bit confused by him still. One such person looked at me incredulously and said, “There is a lot of self depreciation in these comics.” I had no idea what to respond. I mean there probably is… seeing as Glen was borne from my teenage mind all those years ago but today I don’t have as much of an excuse… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Well… I don’t know, maybe the lyrics that inspire them are self depreciating. I don’t think so though because most of them sound damn happy.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You still had to pick the lyrics. Do some Pixies!! That’ll be great!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Okay but I am in no way responsible what comes out of this…” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided upon Where is My Mind<\/a>. It’s a beautiful song full of even more prettyful gibberish. Maybe a little too much <\/em>because Glen made me draw three separate comics. SIGH. It’s almost as if the randomness of this tune was made to be gently teased by a caterpillar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With each of these three comics I had to learn something new. In the first I had to achieve movement and a weird body position. In the second I learned how to make a sunset while inserting the shark documentary that was playing on the TV behind me. In the third I took one of my nature photos and just drew Glen into it. Why is the fish in such distress? Why is Glen in camouflage? Is this some sort of trap? I DON’T KNOW BUT I WOULDN’T TRUST IT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
