I have been cartooning most of my life. Inspiration came in the form of Charles Shultz and Peanuts. I read all the old books in my home town library over and over. Of course I had to create my own… From all of that Wabbit Hutch was born. The characters originated from my own pet rabbits. They were pretty edgy for their time! The strip was pretty good. It gained me quite a notoriety about town. It also gained me an invite to join the school newspaper and literary magazine.
In truth, Wabbit Hutch came VERY close to syndication. It was my first taste. I spent many years recapitulating that strip into various incarnations until I finally put it to rest in the late ’90s. I do plan to resurrect it from the very roots and into it’s various incarnations on the web just for the heck of it. Especially since I believe that no good amount of work should waste away in a filing cabinet; it should be seen, even the embarrassing parts! HA!
We will let this unfold at a later date. I may even treat you to my hockey comic Puck one of these days…
