Comics

My wonderful Comic instructor (are you reading this Andy?) asked the group of us in the class, and others, to contribute to review-of-the-year comics for Worcester Magazine.  I happily agreed and got the topic "EEE and West Nile Virus, People Scared of Killer Mosquitoes" - and I loved that topic, right up my alley.

The point is to mimic a Sunday type comic strip style and illustrate the story. In my story, a lot of towns were doing aerial spraying to kill the killer mosquitoes.

Here's what I did.  It was fun, but challenging - I have GOT to learn photoshop.  Do you know how many ways you can mess up spelling "mosquito" or "mosquitoes"?  I now know.

Embiggen - if I make it too large it messes up my sidebar.

Loved doing this - despite the aggravation of mistakes, it was super fun.
