You see, back around 2006 Scott was looking for someone to help him with some of the ink/art duties of his strip. If I recall, he was having arm surgery.
Well, good friend of mine who is also friends with Scott, told Scott I was looking for cartooning work. As a result, Scott asked me to submit some illustration samples to make sure I could match his style ( more likely, to make sure I could actually draw). The above sketch was one of several I submitted.
Scott really liked the illustrations, and pretty much told me I had the job. However, just like these days, newspapers were cutting strips left and right. Scott lost two huge papers during this process. Because of this, he couldn't afford to pay me and I was never able to ink any of the strips. Oh, well. It was a fun ride while it lasted!
Man, I really nailed those characters.
