From the Intern:
The Christmas Season and a hospital trip has grounded me from producing much, but now I'm getting back into that loop and should have a new comic finished sometime soon!
Mo Willems has used an interesting art style: photographed backgrounds with drawn pictures in the foreground and background. I like that style, so I'm trying my luck with it in the next comic, "The Library Trip".
White Vs. Oranges has been completed. It has all the backgrounds, and even has a save feature (despite it being rather short). As soon as I get some new animations from my animator, Bill's Quest will be started!
This month's releases:
*Special thanks to Amy Castellano for the photographs!
