2008 was the first year that I took part in the 24 Hour Comic Challenge, and I had a great time staying up all day and night to do it. I had originally come up with “The Goldbergs” as a spin-off comic, but it didn’t get past the idea stage, so it was nice to play with these characters at least once.
Looking back, this comic was probably the impetus for me making Dan more important in terms of the comic, as it was done at a time when I was trying desperately to move away from using real people as characters. I’d like to think he’s characterized a little more clearly now. Bet you never knew he could drum though, huh?
Be sure to come back tomorrow, when I’ll be showing off my old experimental comic/art warm-up, Fight Song! It’ll be pretty okay.
