Issue 2, pages 9 & 10


Z.K. Winkleface the book-seller shows the Brothers his wares. There's one book that Gnash picks up from the pile, however, that is not for sale.

Issue #1 is available as a print-on-demand comic on Indy Planet; I am still on issue #2, slogging away at it when I don't have any paying gigs (which I currently have, I am happy to report). My first issue was finished back when my son Jacob was nine, now he's eleven...I wanted to get the second issue done by Christmas as a gift to myself (not yet in color, just in black & white), but too many other projects were in the queue, Like I said, I've been fortunate to have work, so I can't complain. One of Jacob's buddies asked me recently if issue #2 was finished yet. He said he's looking forward to it because he likes the comic. That comment was enough to re-motivate me to finish the next issue. By God, if not for me, then for my son's friend Rennie!

Page 8

Winkleface the Book Seller makes his first appearance. He encourages the local populace to buy a book from his cart, without a lot of success. I like the way that "reverse silhouette" came out in panel 3.

Page 7: Down in Bogsquat Gulch

Next page, been a while since posting but that's the way it goes sometimes...
the scene shifts from past to present; we pick up from where the Brothers flee the scene after getting shot at for flying around on a broom and setting off alarms amongst the Witchguard...

The Naming of the Gobs

You of course realized already that their names are an awful pun of Crosby, Stills & Nash, but that was just because I had to come up with something that was based on 3. The 3 Stooges, Huey Dewey & Louie, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, the 3 Musketeers were all inspirations for the 'power of three'.
