Planet Hoppers: The Dance of Space

Planet Hoppers: The Dance of Space was a slightly holiday oriented comic I made for an issue of Tigers Tales with the Guild of Sequential Illustrators (chew that five times fast!) at RIT. Planet Hoppers starred Leonard J. Lemur, space lemur, and Mindy Mace, martian girl supreme (I think she was orignally inspired by The Aquabats! song Martian Girl!). This comic was alot of fun to make and write, even though I was still kicking in the throes of manga style moochery from my early high school days (there is still a residue, but it's adapting!) and Jason Youngbluth said it looked like a furry comic. Oh no! Anyways, I had a good time creating the dynamic between the macho yet ineffective Lenny Lemur and the ditzy but downright capable Mindy Mace. These character types have been worked through before but it was really great to explore that archetype.

How do you like that? I just dropped some tenpenny words to critically analyze my furry comic! Great ghost this is fun!
