When I came up with this idea, I envisioned it as a Far Side cartoon.
I worked at a Vancouver print shop where I met Melanie Covey, a cool gal and a student at Capilano College's multi media program.
I was the editor of the company newsletter. At first, all I did was do the colour separations for the printer, because we bought the newsletter ready made from a California company.
Not really happy with the puff pieces and trite clip art, I began to write articles and come up with my own graphics and layout.
I thought that comics were a great way to make people look forward to the newsletter, and I had a bit of a following with some legal secretaries for a while (the newsletter went mostly to law firms in Vancouver).
Of the 12 or so that ran, this was my favorite because the drawing was original. The others, I used business cartoon clip art and made up my own captions for them.
