Every mug in a costume doesn’t join the Union, as you’ll see in these pencils from Issue #1. Meet Al E. Gator, costume rip-off artist and scab extraordinaire.

You can also get a peek at how much unnecessary labor I put into my pencils. I’m inking them myself! What’s the point?! I don’t know. To make things even more time-consuming, I do my pencils on drawing paper, then tape them down on a light-box and ink on a separate, clean piece of that bleed-proof pen & ink paper (I like the surface better than bristol board).

I’m basically a glutton for punishment. But believe me, I’ve got nothing on Al E. Gator, cruising around River City in that get-up without a Union Card…
