Draft pages, illustrated story

I’ve been working on a story for some time now and have been trying out a few formats and styles. The first version was wordless, and seeing as that didn’t work out so well, I’m trying my hand at including words.  Here are a few draft pages, hopefully they aren’t too difficult to make out… I have a fraught relationship with my scanner as will no doubt become evident.  Some of you may recognize the character from previous illustrated posts on Camus quotes. 🙂

Corporate Knights: Fish on Prozac

Fish on Prozac smallThis cartoon was created ten years ago for the back page of Corporate Knights magazine.  Unfortunately, the issue of fish physiology being affected by the drugs we take is as pertinent today as it was then.
