I’ve been doing figure sketching to come up with different designs and poses for the characters.

A work in progress. A preliminary drawing for a new Jeanie Beanie strip, showing how I start with a very loose sketch.

I’m looking at you, Snoopy and Garfield!

Today’s logo sketch is an example of how I think a TV animation studio might modify Jeanie’s design to make her more ‘Smurfy.’

You can see that I changed the dialogue in the last panel, in an attempt to improve a weak gag. But Beckle is a bird, so he eats bugs, right?

All of the pencil sketches shown in the logo window are new, by the way. Right now it’s this one. I wonder which character gets the extra large coffee?

This was a favorite idea of mine, having my little ensemble doing evening readings and recitals. A book club was another possibility.
