200My Why:
I knew I wanted to make a comic book about my late dog Gummy, a senior Yorkshire terrier. I didn’t want it to be too scary, but I knew I wanted to story to be compelling. I have always had a liking for creepy macabre things, so I tried mixing the macabre with Gummy to create a story where Gummy would go on an impossible quest driven by his dedication to protect his favorite person. I feel that by creating this book, my dog’s memory will live on a little longer by being shared with the world.
