After this Friday, school's out for the summer

School ends April 22nd!  I get about a month off from school.  I'm not sure what, if anything, will be done during this time.  I have some future projects in mind (outside of the two ashcan comics I'll work on starting Jan 2012).

Choco and Cocoa Presents: Tales of Father Moose #1
Moose is Choco's brother.  I've written a seven day comic strip involving Moose but I haven't drawn it (maybe I'll put that out there).  Anyway, his birth name is Mousse, but it's pronounced Moose and he goes by that spelling.  In any case, many people don't know it, but all of the well known fairy tales and nursery rhymes involve monkeys.  To prove it, Moose is going to tell some of his favorites in their original forms.  It'll be another 12 page ashcan comic (maybe consisting of between 4-5 nursery rhymes and very short stories).

So, one more ashcan to throw on the TO-DO bucket list.  It'll come out after the first two ashcans, but I'll release a copy of the first tale on the website once I draw and ink it.  Maybe I'll eventually compile all of the ashcans (throwing in the web comic and the daily comics) and put it in a graphic novel format.  Who knows.

In any case, all of my classes end December 17th (that's the date for commencement).  After that (and after some well deserved partying and R&R and Christmas stuff) I'll start work on the ashcan comics.  Until then, I'll just be very anxious to get started.  It's been about six years that I've put this on hold.  Hopefully, these final few months won't be too agonizing.

Treehouse

This week Choco and Cocoa are building a treehouse.  How hard can that be, right?
Let's see .... step 1: plant a tree.

To see what happens next, check out this week's comic.

Power outage

I just heard that Choco and Cocoa have a power outage.  I'll post more when I hear back from them (they're looking for flashlights right now).  You'll have to bear with us as we work through this.

So what do you do to entertain yourself when so many things use electricity?  Check out the comicstrip this week to see what happens.

It's ...... Superball!

This week, Cocoa got a Superball.  But where's the cape?

Check out the comicstrip to see what happens.

Howard the Slinky

This week, Choco gets a slinky and names him Howard.

Check out the comicstrip to see what happens.

The website's new look

Stage one of the new website design is almost done.  I need to clean up the pages that have the webcomic.  However, the rest of the website is done.  I even added a new banner image which looks better than the old one.

Let me know what you think!

I'll start working on drawing some new "shorts" this weekend.

Welcome

For those that don't know who Choco and Cocoa are, they are two curious sock monkeys.  I document their adventures in a web comic aptly titled "The Adventures of Choco and Cocoa".  In this journal, I will post anything related to the web comic.

There is a 24 page webcomic available on the website.  I have an ashcan in the works (ashcan is "comicspeak" for a mini printed comic).

I also started posting shorts.  Shorts are mini thumbnail comic strips.  Basically I tag comic strip images on my Facebook page and then save the archives on the website.

Other projects are in the works.  So, keep watching this site or join the Facebook group.
