From 1980, felt tip on very thin bond. I was preparing to start attending a graduate program at the University of Washington, so perhaps the housing note had something to do with locating a place close to campus, I don't remember. I eventually did move from Ballard to the Ravenna-Bryant neighborhood, a close walk to school. No car or TV in those days, which no doubt helped in my comix art being so prolific at that time.

Most of these drawings from the first half of 1980 barely fit on my scanner. This batch includes a very disorganized Morty the Bear story. I think the idea was to eventually bring all the crazy threads together. The pages have thumbtack holes, meaning I had them on the wall with a plan.

That photo was me at my drawing space in early 1980 where many of these images were created. The window had a beautiful view of our neighbor, the KFC franchise in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.

Felt tip on thin bond, probably drawn in 1980. I was living in the Ballard neighborhood in Seattle at the time. You can see the more modern version of Morty the Dog taking shape in this batch.
