Comics are hard work. Once upon a time, I worked in comic books, in the days before the internet, and before digital tools. To illustrate how things were done in the old days of Postage, and traditional tools, I am presenting work done in preparation for a comic book. Hopefully, this will make clear, some of the planning and processes necessary to make a successful comic book, even if the tools have changed to Dropbox, Photoshop and Manga Studio. even with those tools, things still need to be planned, written, and then drawn.

This marks the transition from Tabletop RPG illustration, to Comics. This is the cover sheet to an article on a therapod based species of mine called the Jaggiri. They appeared in several Gaming Fanzines of the era (before the Internet, in that leisure time sweet spot before microprocessors were worth more than simple calculations and desk top publishing), such as Lee Gold's "Alarums & Excursions", Glen Blacow's "The Wild Hunt", and Aaron Allston's "Rogues Gallery". I was not a "furry", then, but a gamer who was also an occasional cartoonist, and illustrator. Looking to make my mark in Comics, and after having been active in the convention scene, the Jaggiri were added into the comic story as muscle, to give more of a sense of high fantasy, to the Equine Comic book. Jaggiri continued to appear commonly in my art, until 1999, when Asheru took over my head space, and back burnered these saurian heavies.
