This is one of the first Jeanie Beanies I drew. It’s quite apparent that my drawing hand was badly out of practice!
Take note of the date, October 24, 1995, only a few months after Amazon began taking book orders online. So I felt relatively safe in setting the characters inside of a bookstore.
This example also shows that after it was finished I felt Beckle needed something. That was when I came up with the hat gimmick.
