So, this is a fun little thing that I thought I’d dust off and finally show people.

Some time last year, my friend Paul Montgomery, as part of his writing duties on the website, iFanboy.com, made a creative challenge — to adapt a fable in comics form. Write, draw, whatever. I didn’t think I had the time to do it, but Paul’s challenge planted a seed. I started thinking of a crudely drawn strip that’s something very different from what I usually do. I decided that my personal challenge would be not only write the script, but to draw it too. I set about trying to teach myself how to draw a simple cartoon.

I didn’t complete the challenge, but the process itself was so fun that I put together a PDF and sent it to Paul. The package contained my original notes, doodles, scripts, and my attempt to teach myself to draw pigs and wolves. I had a lot of fun. I don’t think I’ll ever finish it, but for what it’s worth, it was a fun experiment, and I got a lot out of it.

Now I’ve put the PDF online for you to read, if you so wish.

Enjoy!
