Welcome to the home of Lloyd and the Bear, Urp, and all things Mac & Cheese related!

Every weekend I plan to post an update on how I’m getting on with Lloyd and the Bear or what related project I’m currently doing!

I’ll be dropping Urp! strips at random intervals when a thought enters my head. Is Urp me? Um……. maybe (not?)

And hey, I LOVE Mac & Cheese and I’ll be dropping my reviews of new dishes and eateries I come across along with recipes and facts every now and again!

Fingers! Fingers! Fingers!

So I’m back to updating issue #14 of Lloyd and the Bear and I had originally thought that this was going to be a quick and easy issue but it’s turning out to be a bit more of a slog!

Why? Well, it turned out that when I first put this book together I got super lazy (or more likely in a rush) and avoided giving Lloyd and Bear fingers in most panels and rather just went for circle stubs to the end of their arms!

Now hey, when I do small ickle pictures of them I’m totally okay with doing that but on close ups? Yeah, I need to add fingers. See?

And I’ve also progressed from how I use to do fingers and how they look when holding on to an object. I use to just go with ovals but now go with two joining circles (and hey, don’t they look like macaroni? Mmm….. Macaroni….)

So yeah, look at me all grown up and drawing actual fingers that point and stuff! I’m close to actually calling myself a comic artist!

Yay!

More soon! Bear hugs!

PS. Next! Toes!

What’s in a name?

I was asked at MCM London last week why does Bear get second billing in the books title with ‘Lloyd and the Bear’ rather than ‘Bear and the Lloyd’.

I replied saying that it wouldn’t sound so good but then started to question myself…

But then I started to weird myself out. I would never call Lloyd ‘The Lloyd’ and yet I’m totally okay with saying ‘The Bear’? I mean, I totally riffed the title from ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ but man, why am I treating Bear like he’s an object? He’s a living being!

I… Yeah… I have nothing. But for a moment there, last week got super existential at MCM London!

Yup, it’s a short post this week but this has been on my mind all week and I needed to talk about it!

(And no, I’m not going to change the title of the book! I can only do so many updates!)

More soon! Bear hugs!
