Dog Town II: Coming… Sometime

 

The second part of Dog Town is scoped out, written and being drawn.  I swear.  It’s just I’m a bit distracted trying to finish up some other comics at the moment.  However, I do intend to have Dog Town II done by October.  Just in time for APE.  This is the first page of Chapter 4: “Calamity is a Comin’”.  The next three chapters will delve into Sheriff Rusty’s past, reveal a bit more about the wolf who lives in Devil’s Canyon, and introduce you to a prophetic ape who wears a crystal ball on it’s head.  Good stuff.  However, the mystery of who the little boy is and why he’s even around won’t be answered until book three, so stay tuned…

You Decide

I’m working my way towards APE inking a few other comics and I might have time to produce one more book.  So, do I spend my time drawing the second part of Dog Town, or coloring the first book (you can see what would look like in color here)?  If anyone has an opinion, let me know…

Nice Bit of Dialogue

Through the Fish Bowl

A Positive First Step

Pitch Perfect

Woodlanders fall into several sects.  The largest and most popular sect is the New Worlders. The next largest groups are the Foresters, Cleansers and Baptists.  The least popular sect is the Positivists due to a falling out with the Prime a hundred years ago.

Dr. Mon Massey made great strides in mending the riff between the Positivists and the other Woodlanders with his landmark remaking of the Positivist Theology in “The Nine Steps to Positivity”.  Dr. Mon Massey even achieved the status of Woodlander Excelsior, only three tiers below the Prime himself.

Since the publication of his nine volume series, hundreds of animals have joined the Positivist movement.  This movement is fully of highly zealous animals, eager to help others live a life of positivity.

Positivists have spread around all inhabitable areas spreading the positive news, as well as seeking what they call the “Great Hope,” an undefined person, place or thing that they believe is the ultimate source of positivity in the universe.

Never Cry Wolf

His name is Jack.  You’ll learn more about him in the second book. He doesn’t say much, in this form at least.  I think he’ll be an intriguing character, however, he has a very short story arc.

The Forbidden Zone

No post-apocalyptic story is complete without a forbidden zone.  Mine is Toronto.  Although, the animals know it as Torontos.  This is mainly due to a translation error from an ancient human map.

As you may have noticed the scenery in Canada has changed substantially after the cataclysm.  Once the water was displaced and the wars were finished, the majority of the world resembled a desert.

Inner and Outer Strength

Roger discovers his inner strength has some outer application.  Go, pig, go!
