ANATOMY of an ASTROBEAR COMIC STRIP

There are many stages to the creation of a single comic strip. All, however, start with an idea. The idea can be an image, or a single word. From that, the comic strip artist creates a complete story in miniature. The following pictures outline the stages I took to complete Astrobear strip #20.
