Wow! Excitement! Action! Comedy! Another puzzle piece falls into place! In all seriousness though, this was one of those jokes that I planned from the start when I thought up the name for that character (obviously, not revealing the “jr.” until today).

It’s all just a part of this far-too-elaborate-for-a-comedic-strip storyline (that, yes, will end eventually). A style which MOST DEFINITELY pays homage to a comic artist who kept me interested in comic strips long after I’d read every Calvin & Hobbes and Life in Hell known to man, the indomitable Frank Cho.

A friend of mine turned me on to Liberty Meadows back in the day and it played a big part in reigniting my passion for comic strips, at a time when I thought that if you weren’t doing a monthly book that you weren’t doing comics. The way that he managed to squeeze in a genuine story along with all the zaniness of his gag-a-day-stuff was very inspirational to me as an artist and as a storyteller.

Plus, he also draws super hot babes with giant cans fighting dinosaurs.
