Munch Chunky was inspired and influenced by a few different things, most of which stem from my early childhood. A lot of what inspired and influenced me was animation and this one in particular had a very lasting affect on me. The animated series Maple Town is one of those shows, quite possibly more influential than even Battle Beasts . I'm serious, in the late 80's this show an anime series imported to nickelodeon, as many of them where back then, crawled its way into the impressionable brains of me and my little sister. It was sweet fairly innocent and inoffensive fun and adventures featuring now this is the catch a town of cute, little, anthropomorphic animals.     now my little sister and I were kids who ran around in the forest near my childhood house with my friends pretty much every weekend if not almost daily, so I was no stranger to using my imagination adventure. I was able to really relate to these animal kids running around getting into mischi...

  Munch Chunky will be returning next wednesday on the 11th! I know it's been so long since the last issue came out that most of you maybe don't even care anymore about the fate of this series. (it's been four months now) But I want to give you a reason to come back and care about these silly little furry animals. I'm turning the key to the engine again and revving the motor, but the vehicle has had some slight modifications to it's body.

I looked at the story and thought certain parts were missing. these parts were flashbacks I was going to have drawn by a friend of mine, but he can't do it at the moment or... ever it seems. no names shall be named and no blam...

  PREVIOUS  ~  NEXT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, I didn't finish coloring this issue. this is the final issue of Munch Chunky for a while.  I feel deep in my heart that I have to be in a specific state of mind to work on this comic. A happy state of mind, because this is a more upbeat series, a series about the positive power of friendship and adventure. Right now, I'm not in a happy place. I'm sad and more than a little depressed about where my life is right now. I'm getting older, I'm deep in debt from going to school to learn animation and I haven't been able to get a job in the animation industry. The industry itself makes me sad because... well... there's a lack of inclusiveness, a lack of true diversity and a lot of ageism and I'm no spring chicken. heh. I didn't go to school straight out of high school. I've always enjoyed making comics but I can only tell certain stories w...
