I'm Bringing The Time Traveling Cockroach Back

The Fleas have made 5 or 6 appearances in the strip, but the time traveling Cockroach from the future only made it here once.  Of course having him eaten by the cats would seen to put an end to any future appearance, however I suspect something like cloning would be involved, so what we saw may or may not have been his first/only trip, but it certainly doesn't count him down and out for the future.

He's back.  I've got to figure how to relieve him of his backpack unit so the cats can have fun with it again (possibly going back in time for more than those Carolina Parakeets).  The hardest part of doing the strips is those $50 words he mangles/uses to talk with the primitive mammals he finds here.  5,000 years from now it's just bugs and, um, how can I say this........ little bitty flying fish on this planet.

I Must Be Doing Something Right

The SMITH cat comic strip goes up weekly, and I posted a comment asking about how he did the strips (details, etc.).  He was nice enough to repost a previous detailed post about the whole process.

He uses computer paper, so do I.

He does quick notes, so do I (but mine have eyeballs floating in the frame).

He puts 2 strips per page of paper, so do I.

He cut a template out of cardboard so he didn't have to use rulers to draw the strip frames. I use rulers yet.

He letters by hand as he draws, not afterward in post production. So do I.

And hey, I figured this out all on my own, too!
