A Year of MINIons- MINIon #1991

1991I don’t know if it is nostalgia, or what, but one of my favorite comics (as I have said before) is Dave Steven’s “The Rocketeer” It was a world I have to chase down at the comic shop as the character bounced around through various publishers. Then Disney made the film version- and a film version can ruin a comic- this one didn’t.

One of my fondest memories is when Sue and I took my little brothers to see the film at the El Capitan theatre in Hollywood. Then again, one of my regrets is that I never bought a Rocketeer helmet when I was young and didn’t have as many obligations. “MINIon #1991 to the rescue!”

I did try to include some of my favorite characters in the background… some are ones you might recognize others are ones you would only recognize if you’ve spent any time inside my head.

I still do find it amazing that I am considered a professional cartoonist… it is a dream/nightmare come true.  Sometimes I just wish I had more time to to do it, then again when I do have the time I tend to fritter it away.
