This was the first Wh!tless I drew. Since I hadn’t drawn any comics in a long while, I drew it “old school”, the way I did while I was in college: just black and white pen and ink on card stock. Then I scanned it in and added the balloons and dialogue in CorelDraw.
I had been thinking about doing this strip for quite a while, so I had a long list of the Pop Candy regulars, with ideas noted about what to draw for their characters. I knew I couldn’t fit everyone in one panel, so I just put in as many as I could get away with. I don’t think there was any method to who got in this strip, vs. the next one, it just ended up this way.
Some of the characters were easy to do. My favorite in this piece is Ember. I don’t know where I came up with the idea, but once I did, I had to use it. I am also really lucky that Ember is a great sport, and has a great sense of humor. I think AJ came out pretty good too.
