I’ve still got a lot of work do to do on the last chapter,but I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here’s one more recent page!

The Re-run of Wahoo Morris is over and new pages begin this week.

I’ve got a good head start of close to 40 pages so the story should run through to the end with no more breaks.

When I took on this project, my idea was to draw the story in a 1930’s/40’s newspaper comic strip style. I wanted to go for a cross between Milton Caniff and Roy Crane.

By the time I had done the character designs I’d dropped the idea of ape-ing a specific artists style, but what I kept was the idea of simplifying the facial details a-la Roy Crane and letting my cartoonier aspects out in a way I wouldn’t in a straight adventure strip. I also tried to reign in my Alex Raymond/ Hal Foster influenced inking style and go for a wetter, thicker style like Caniff. I’m not sure how successful I’ve been, but I think I emulated the feel of the era fairly well.

Here’s another sneak peek.
