That guy sounds just like me! I draw all through church! Of course, I'm usually too busy listening to write a comic story, so I mostly just doodle or practice drawing characters. And then I feel bad about all the trees I've killed, so I bring all my junk home and recycle it.

This one is really charming.
I don't know exactly when started, but surely I was drawing comics in elementary school.

I didn't start reading comics until I was older but this does pretty much sum up my feelings about art in general^^ My aunts always had paper and crayons in the house just for me when I was tiny and I don't think there was a time when I didn't have some kind of sketchbook and pencils with me.

I love your simple coloring, it really fits this style of comic so well and you've got a great eye for it

I've been reading comics as far back as I can remember. parents got my brother and I subscriptions plus we read all my dad's old comics from when he was a kid (even the war comics). My love of superheroes is probably the biggest influence in getting me into writing.

Awww, it's so touching to read ;u;
I can't remember when I fell in love with comics either.
But one of the first comics I read were probably the Donald Duck comics they publish here in the Netherlands weekly.

I love comics so much ;___;
And I prefer Donald over Mickey because Mickey barely appeared in the magazine, haha.

I like Donald duck more than Mickey too. Though, over here in America the donald duck comics are not as popular. :C

GiniPhobiac In reply to StephenMcCranie [2011-11-10 23:15:57 +0000 UTC]

Here the magazine is called Donald Duck.
But I think in other countries it appears as Mickey Mouse and features the mousey character more.
I'm not sure why that is
But we're so special, haha ♥
