I made this comic to close out the Return of the Fleas comic book as a palate cleanser to leave the book on less of a down note than the last comic. Plus I had to bring Grumpton back. He’s got a bad cattitude that you simply can’t confine to a single comic strip!
I wanted to make the strip look different from the rest of the book, like there was a possibility someone else drew it. So I busted out my crow quill dip pen & India ink & got to business. I used to draw my old comic strip “You Guys Are My Friends” in the same style & size as this strip, so it was fun for me to get back to something familiar.
I’m entertaining the idea of doing a run of Gumption comics & it would be fun to do them in this style, but I want to try doing comics with Procreate too. We’ll see what happens. Who knows, maybe this will be the year for multiple new comics projects!!
