Another Old Cartoon...

I've been reading about Aerosmith's drummer and a lawsuit he filed against his band members. The band doesn't want him performing with them at the Grammy's because they feel he has limitations due to an injury he sustained. I thought of re-posting the above cartoon while reading about this ongoing saga. Dream On...great tune. Here's a link to the song with lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9srmft6STc

About Dust Specks

Don’t look now, but Dust Specks are EVERYWHERE! Dust Specks is a cartoon that revolves around five characters, made of dust, and their interactions with each other and everything in the world (they truly get around). The main cast is Dusty, Storm, Bunny, Bitsy, and Micro. Other characters include Dust Mites (the villains), Dirt (the thugs), Sand (cowabunga, dude!), Teenie (Bity's best friend), Geez, and Cosmo.

The concept of Dust Specks materialized when I noticed some dust on my nightstand one afternoon. For whatever reason, the thought of a cartoon ran through my mind and within minutes, I wrote my first strip.

The biggest challenge I faced from the start was the inability to draw. Instead of throwing in the towel, I began utilizing artists in my area to prepare the illustrations for me. In the end, I connected wth Terrice Kimble and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for stopping by. Your continued support and kind e-mails are always appreciated. -Tom
