Just a little notebook sketch I found to tide you over as I work on next week’s new Utopian strips. ‘Nuff said.

If you are a comics fan of any reasonable tastes, then you likely are familiar with The Invincible Super-Blog, Chris Sims’ awfully awesome blog about, um, comics. He is also one of the forces behind Action Age Comics, and the writer of the recent three-part Action Age web series, The Chronicles of Solomon Stone.

Because I really had a lot of time to fill while vacationing at the girlfriend’s parents’ house in the middle of Michigan, I did a sketch of Solomon, his lady friend Minxy Flatbush and, um, Tyrannosaurus Hex. Yeah.

Well, more than a month later, I finally got around to finishing the sketch with some digital inking and coloring. And now, you get to suffer with it while I stall working on this week’s installment of The Utopian.

For some reason, I’ve had wild hairs cropping up in dark places to draw The Flash. And may I specify, this is Wally West, NOT Barry Allen. Because I said so.

I was finishing coloring the second page of next week’s The Utopian installment and needed a break, so what else was there to do at 2 a.m. than draw and color something else? Right.
