This is more or less my dad, but with a little extra gut:



Hope he's flattered, but my father just happened to fit into the "dorky-cute" profile of the character.

Did a rough estimate of how many pages the story was going to be - came up with 138. Yikes! Gotta figure out a way to cut down the pages or draw a lot faster. Maybe both.

Some interesting trends already though - the dialogue is quite sparse, and there's a roughly 30 page section without any. Also, about half of the dialogue is in Spanish.

I chuckled at the image of the father--your father. Could you make his sleeves just a bit longer so he won't look quite so dorky--or do you need tht dorkiness? Mom
