Thanks for adding me. I knew that Sparky had become famous, but I didn't realize that he'd become an institution! Kudos!

I like the scratchy style of your black and white lineart. Sparky= Felix? Although there were a LOT of similarly design characters in the early 30's.

[ Posted by StevePeters on May 3rd, 2007 11:17 AM ]... Yeah, he's often compared to Felix and sometimes the Animaniacs. He's definitely designed to have a 30's look, but he's the only half-angel, half-devil character with that look, as far as I know...

thanks for adding me. :)

wow, it must have been quite a while back when we met at a con (was it spx or san diego?). i haven't had cards for my comics in YEARS!

[ Posted by StevePeters on May 3rd, 2007 10:37 AM ]... I tend to think it was SPX, but I've been to San Diego a few times, so it's quite possible. I think we need to do a Dingbat/Sparky crossover strip!

Hey Steve - thanks for the reminder to put a link to my own page on my profile. :P (I don't know how else to post that you pointed out that there was no linky-link. . .as people can only see on side of the conversation on my profile. . .looks like everyone is talking to me (well, not everyone) and I'm just sitting there taking it all in. . .)
