Here comes Anti-Chum!

Here's a super special sneak peek at the villain I've been hyping all month: The Anti-Chum.

Older chum-fans might notice his costume has undergone a slight redesign. And really hardcore chum-fans (like maybe two people out there, hah) might notice the color scheme has changed. Most of Anti-Chum's appearances in the past have taken place in black and white. And I've never been happy with the colors I used when I did color him (the last setup was orange and purple, and that was not working for me). So I tweaked the costume to make it a bit more streamlined. And then went with the color scheme of black and white to emphasize his role in the book as well as his demeanor. With just a touch of red on the anti-smiley symbol on his chest.

I like the look. It incorporates the strength of the previous looks, while finally making the character stand out the way I always wanted him to.

And just in time, because this upcoming chapter is a doozy! There's going to be psychadelic dreams of prophecy, super hero hygiene tips, the Hall of Friendship from the inside, a brand new sport invented by me for mass consumption by the U.S., chia pet punchlines, rants on customer service, and a whole lot of rampaging as the full fury of the anti-chum is unleashed on suburbs!
