Bonus Art

Lately I’ve been challenging my self use new shapes for character designs which is apparent in the family of the Hopper House. (They are the Thomas family … I’m slightly embarrassed at how difficult I’ve found it to naturally state their family name in the strip.) However, since we are in a 100 year flash back I’ve deliberately reused shapes.

Two background characters (soon to be promoted to supporting cast) are reused background characters. Another one is hinted to in this strip, but for Big Joe’s great-grand uncle I wanted a more unique design. Whereas our Big Joe is more massive and round; for the past Big Joe I went for chiseled features and an emphasized Dorito shape.
