Me and Carl, November 2009
In 2009, while at at my
local bar, I found myself sitting next to Carl. He was another
regular, but rarely spoke to anyone except the staff,
and usually just to order another drink. He was an old, broken down,
surly bastard whom everyone was content to leave alone. However, this
was a slow night; not many people around to chat with, so I decided
to break the ice and ask Carl, "So, what's your story?" I'm
not sure if he was trying to scare me off with the tale he began to
tell, or if he'd just simply been waiting for someone to ask, but
either way - he shared a story so unique and unbelievable that I
promised to turn it into a graphic novel for the world to enjoy. With
the first three volumes now completed, I'm left with the final two to
finish his story. As I work to finish the last two installments, I'll
use this blog to post progress and insights into the evolution of
this project. Check back often to track the development and ultimate
completion of "Carl's Story."
