HOLY CRAP AN EARLY UPDATE! IT'S THE APOCALYPSE! RUN!
.
My project for the week was to try to improve the hair on my characters. Up till now it's bee kind of blocky, and wile my art has been improving in most other areas  the hair has remained pretty much the same. hopefully this will fix that problem somewhat.
.
Speaking of art improvement, I read back through my archives recently, and was surprised to see how many obvious mistakes I was simply unable to see back in the day. I knew my art was improving fast, but it's easy to forget how bad one's earlier work was. Now I'm looking forward to the day where I can look back on the art of this page, laugh, and wonder just what the hell I was thinking.
.
On this page we finally learn the big guy's name, so I guess I can talk about him some now. Aaron was one of the first five characters I came up with (the others being Grace, Roger, Jean, and Lucy in roughly that order. Brandon and Cassie would come later.) He stands at 6'8" (because for me to consider somebody "huge" they must be at least an inch taller than I am.) and is by far the physically strongest character in the comic, despite the fact that Fern Stream High seems to have a bad case of Lake Woebegonitis: all the men are strong, all the women are good looking, and all the children are above average. He's sort of a like big teddy bear. I think the female fans especially ought to like him.
