Hello World!
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Hey everyone! Welcome to Grumpy Gus and Peanuts!
This has been a long time coming. I have always had a secret wish to be a cartoonist ever since, ever. I use to draw in school, at home, and day dream about doing this as my job and making a living at comics. However there was one tiny flaw with making my dream come true. Listening to others.
Yea, I am pouring a bit of my soul out here, but this is something that really bugs me about myself. I have listened to people over the years telling me…now is not the best time to start that, or there is no money in it….and I could go on forever. Some of these people in the past have had a vested interest in keeping me focused on something else rather than what I wanted to do. To be fair I know it’s no ones fault but my own for listening to them and not my heart, but that is not what this is about. This is about stopping and saying, Life is to short to screw around. Do what you love, and do it now.
Gus and Peanuts, as well as a lot of other characters, have been running through my head for as long as I can remember. Actually Gus started off as a Superhero believe it or not.
Gus is the been there, done it all type curmudgeon that knows everything, is not afraid to tell you what he thinks, and of course he is also an adventurer in his own mind. Peanuts is his long time friend that has been tagging along for the ride, constantly being made to do what he normally wouldn’t. In this time of their lives rather than live alone in a crappy dump they pulled resources and moved in together.
The site is still a work in progress…but I had to start somewhere.
I hope you enjoy….Grumpy Gus and Peanuts.
