New Story, Old Tale Again

Today, I’m presenting another edited repost from my old blog Vree Erickson. This one delves deeper into the “behind the scenes” of Ridgewood and Vree Erickson. Enjoy. Before there was Ridgewood, there was Ravenwood, a fictional town I created in my high school creative writing classes.

Louie and Bruce 003-2023-0621

The comic page shown below is from October 1981. As I’ve discussed in earlier posts, the top 4 panels of my Louie and Bruce full-length comic strips sometimes told a complete story that I could have used as a short strip.

This comic page is from September 1981. The top 4 panels tell a complete story that I could have used as a short strip. But they tie into the story’s gag at the end. That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. And as always, peace and love. Steve, 5/26/2023 This post “Louie and Bruce 002-2023-0526” … Continue reading Louie and Bruce 002-2023-0526
