Why "Spit??"

Well, Spit is a pen-name. In short, that's all it is. Here is the long story behind
me:

         One day, a long time ago... back in High School Land... Mrs. Esparza's 2nd
period English II to be exact... the assignment was to write a small biography on
yourself. Laura* said that she loved to draw, and that she was in a school theatre
production of Macbeth... er .... the Scottish play by William Shakespeare.... *lol*
Laura was doing pyrotechnics (Flashpot Queen!!)... Well, then this girl named
Krysta* leans over and whispers off to the side....

 "I'm a witch..."

     Now Laura, thinking "My goodness, someone just told me she is a witch..." Of
course Krysta had meant she was a witch in Macbeth, not in real life, but who can
tell now-a-days?? Anyhoo, Laura had also told the class that her birthday was that
same day, and Krysta had said Happy Birthday on a piece of paper, a note if you
will, and that is what started the "Notebook...."

Twins were born...

We kept a little book chok-full of great things... so great we decided if the
notebook were to get lost, we both would probably be mortified. So this is how the
nicknames arose. It had started out as Laura being Spit and Krysta being Drool,
but Krysta didn't like the idea of her nickname being a bodily function... so she
wanted to be Gomer, instead. So Spit and Gomer became.... then they evolved into
actual images. The first ones were like hyroglyphs... very sketchy and plain. Then
as the days grew into weeks and weeks grew into months, they evolved into these
two guys:

   &  

     Now I realize the first thing that comes out of your mouth is "What are the
little things under the neck??? And no, it is not part of the female anatomy, you
sick person!! *laugh* It is our feet! They have no arms or legs, just feet. You
realize that having no arms makes it hard for them to do certain "people"
functions, like pick things up, poking one another, or like breaking a fall...


Let the Wars begin!!

Thus became the Spit & Gomer Wars, where we try to keel one another off by
assorted methods of destruction, and they are in great comic book form, too! Do
not fear, we both eventually make it out alive... and still to find another way to
keel the other one off... For example, Gomer may try to make Spit kick the bucket
by dragging out a blow-dryer by her mouth, and turning it on full-speed and
drying all that is Spit, except for her shoes... then it may rain, and Spit
re-appears. Spit may try to keel Gomer off by making the rain turn into thunder
and lightning... (we do have supernatural powers, you know...) and cause Gomer's
fur to get big, and since she has no hands to put conditioner in... well, we'll leave
the rest up to you, for now. Anyways, I hope maybe we can get a page up with a
comic or two for your amusement... :)


That's all folks!!

That's really all there is to Gomer & Spit... a three year course in Cartoon
Drawing, that's all! But they were funny as anything!! *laugh* Some were the kind
of cracks where "you had to be there..." but funny anyways! *laugh*
     That is all she wrote.... *Woody Woodpecker laugh*
