Jeremy: This is one of those comics where I decided on a treatment by accident. I had drawn out all panels except for the cutesy one with the cricket sounds, and then I did a quick sketch of that panel for placement of characters to send to Jeff and get his opinion. Basically, it was just ovals on top of blobs to represent each person (with the intention of eventually giving it the same drawing style as the others, but at that point, I just wanted to get Jeff’s opinion on placement/perspective). Once I got started drawing the panel, I thought, “hey, those blobs kinda remind me of cutesy/chibi characters. And thus, a panel was arrived upon quite by accident. But I think it makes for a fun transition, don’CHEW?
Jeff: Now I kinda wanna write a spin-off comic: Li’l Ouros! Particularly with Li’l Baby Chester. He’s so cute, wif his widdle keytar! D’awwww! 
Pssh. I totally know who it is.
I had hoped you wouldn’t figure out that we were putting your Mom in the comic. I didn’t think we were that heavy-handed at all with clues.
That second panel is awesomely hilarious. Well at least Mick tried, being the president of a fan club is a tough job, I’m sure he’ll at least pitch in half of their fuel expense, so just consider it a 1300 mile warm up session of at least one song for their next big gig.
Chester and Stan are getting pretty defensive in that last panel, thank goodness Elle showed up in time to semi-cool the situation down. I feel bad for Mick, he tried at least. Hopefully the band won’t hold too much of a grudge against him.
I want a Li’l Ouros shirt!
