Apes and pigeons

We just finished the APE convention in San Francisco. Our first convention actually having the printed comic to sell. It was great!!! We managed to sell a decent amount of issues of FROM HERE TO THERE #1, and we even sold some of the original pages.

Although I was glad that people wanted to buy the original pages from the comic, I almost didn’t want to let them go. I felt like they took a little piece of me when they walked away with those pages, even though I didn’t draw them.

To pass the down time at APE, Scott worked on drawing and inking some art that he planned to give to a friend of ours. For years, this friend has talked (jokingly) about starting a band called SGT. PIGEON. So Scott drew a page of a pigeon in a military uniform. Funnily enough, I had also emailed Scott a while ago with a joke idea for a comic. The title of the comic was  PIGEON TOE AND CLUBFOOT. The premise is…. there are two pigeon detectives, one of them is pigeon toed, and the other has a club foot. So we also did character sketches of some of the main characters, and do you know what?…..  I wouldn’t believe it myself if I hadn’t been there but…. PEOPLE LOVE PIGEONS!!!

I would say that most of the interest we got was from people that spotted the artwork for SGT. PIGEON, and then they saw the sketches for PIGEON TOE AND CLUBFOOT and went crazy for it. Scott was even asked to do a pigeon sketch.

So we decided that the “joke” comic of PIGEON TOE AND CLUBFOOT is no longer a joke. We are going to do a web comic for it. So look for it soon.
