Dale the Denim Cow series

Well, I'm starting to write down some ideas for story books and comic strips. I've have running gag comics involving Riley Paige (R.P.), the youngest of the "Down Under" cast. She has an overactive imagination and loves to share her stories to the other characters. Currently, she's been talking about her adventures with her imaginary friend, Dale the Denim Cow.

Dale is basically a cow that wears a denim jacket, and hangs out on an island with a magical kitten, named Meowzers, and a green unicorn, named Marley. It is unclear if they are friends or foes to Dale. R.P. loves to be around Dale, most of the time. However, somtimes, it will lead to trouble...

Below are the three "Imaginary Friend" comics so far. There will also be an illustration of Dale, w/ other characters, soon.

7 year-olds have some interesting imaginations...

J.Q. takes advantage of it too...

This is the first appearance of R.P. in a non-flash comic, so she's a bit sketchy...Plus she's got a shirt on than her original dress.

It's an imagination within an imagination! It just blows your mind!

This time Coty's the victim...

It kind of makes you wonder how R.P. comes up with all these stories...

Dale HATES anything made out of corduroy...especially if Carl has something to do with it!

Plus, Marley & Meowzers are cops...

R.P. meets a friend of mine's character, Chillie (who is a Chinchilla), and decides to tell her about...who else but DALE!!!

And we meet yet another textile fiend, Perry, who, in fact, is a perronoid puppy**. Maybe he's the beginning of their beastly rein on Canine Island?

Plus, Meowzers the Magical Kitten finally gets to test out his teleportation powers with Marley!

Test for R.P. with white belly-fur, but I'm sticking with black.

COMIC OF THE WEEK 1/18/2010--Plus a few other notes...

School finally starts tonight. I'll be taking 3D Design, again. It will be taught different than last time I took it. Two of my classes got canceled, which I'm pretty upset about. One was Digital Photography. I really really wanted to take that up, but no one else signed up for it. I hope it'll come through this next 8 weeks.

This may be my final semester at Rose if the bachelor's program doesn't get accepted. I may have to take a break from school if that happens... Possibly coming back again whenever it starts. I am planning on starting a business up hopefully this summer. I am writing up children's book stories & ideas for my "Down Under" Characters. I hopefully will have a draft and some concept sketches for one book by May or so.

Other media I'm looking at would be drawing some comic strips with the "Down Under" cast. I'm starting a journal for ideas and the draw them out later. I am also considering going into stop-motion animation. I'd like to use it to create a pilot show for my second cartoon idea, "Adventures of Manny and Mindy."

I would also like to market my animal photos, both regular, and poster size, but I need some guidance on where to start. So if anyone has advice, please let me know!

Addicting Game Comic: Original Posting 4/16/2009

Peggle is a frustrating game...but it's so addicting!

J.Q. takes it way too seriously though. Pedro tries to talk some sense into him.
He's such a good Russian Chihuahua!

Comic of the Week 1/11/2010

I wasn't feeling very well yesterday. I was trying to keep from falling asleep at work, and I felt sick. Then I go up to the college to meet for the Baptist Integris project, finding out that they met a couple hours earlier than I was told. I was a bit peeved, but I did get a book bought, and figured out that I won't get my graduation notifications, which I filled out last spring semester, until this March.

I feel much better today, not as tired, but still a bit funny feeling. I think it's allergies.

I think this week's comic goes well with those kinds of days...

Bad Day Comic: Original Posting: 4-1-2009Just some sibling squabble at the breakfast table among Coty & D.G.

D.G. ended it abruptly...poor Coty. That's his favorite hat too...

*Just a reminder that Coty is a coyote and was adopted by D.G.'s parents, who are dingos, when he was a baby. Coty is older than D.G. by one day, and likes to bring it up so many times that she's tired of him mentioning it to her.

COMIC OF THE WEEK 1-4-2010

Well, I hope everyone had a good New Year. I know I did. =D I've been trying to get around to do some sketches, traditional drawings, and some school work. However, since I work in the insurance business, it's tough to find extra time to work on them...

Misinterpretation Comic... (original posting February 27, 2009)

Well this comic came out totally different than what was originally planned, but this seems like a better gag.

I don't know why Jenni would walk in the bathroom when J.Q.'s in there...they're sibs.

Poor J.Q. with no hair...
At least it'll grow back...eventually!

Lol @ J.Q.'s noodle arms in the top row...
