Our Gang 2 update
First thing to do after making the original sketch , is mock up the layout to finalize the composition on 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper. I've also worked in the character Mickey holding a spy glass.

Once these layout decisions are made, I can blow up the layout on the copier (121%) and lightly trace it onto 14" x 17" two-ply bristol board for the real drawing, which you see here, tightened up in blue pencil. Since my deadline is end of day Tuesday, and Steve still has to color it, I guess I'll have to ink the little rascals sometime this weekend.
That is great – thanks for the peek into the process. I hope to see more.

An original Our Gang short story? Hmm.

“Hmm” is right!
As long as it has Scotty Beckett and Dickie Moore…and a younger Spanky (that kid annoyed the heck out of me when he got older)…;)

Nice to run into you,  I really like  the work.  I enjoy your sketches the most, with the looseness of the pencil. Steves colors are awesome as well. How can I get a T-shirt?
Its an honor to know you, thanks for the nice critique on my work.
