GUESS WHAT: I have finished Lou #4, and it is available at the Oily Boutique. Guess what else. The brand new issues of Chuck's TEOTFW and Max's Moose are also there!!! GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT.
A bit about Lou: Lou Number 4 takes place on Halloween. As I'm writing these issues, I've noticed how bits from movies I loved as a kid come through, like E.T., the Sandlot, Flight of the Navigator, Homeward Bound... And I am falling in love more and more with Lou's family. I was originally just going to be focusing on Lou and her relationship with the dog, Sammy (who is based on my own dog I had as a child, of the same name, the greatest dog in the world). But Eddie, Lou's big brother, has taken on all of these stories I've heard from Chuck about his teenage life, and her little brother John has his own funny personality now too. Lou's parents are based on adult couples that I've admired throughout my life, and my relationship with Chuck as well. I feel like I'm trying to learn how to write convincing, heartfelt adult characters without taking away from the attention that I pay to the younger ones. MAYBE I AM GROWING UP??
Some samples of from Lou #4:
AND AN ADDED BONUS!!!!
My good friend and classmate from CCS, Matt Aucoin, did a whole comic featuring Freddy and Uncle Sully! It's so awesome. He knows Freddy so well! Check out Matt's work here!
