When I began putting the idea’s together for How Sweet It Is, I didn’t even have a name for it, nor did I know who my characters were 
going to be. I was simply sitting around doodling some sketches of old characters I had created way back in the 90′s and was attempting to reinvent their look for whatever project was to come to me from doing so. In my sketching and doodling, I drew what was to become Hodge and Mel in a field, with Mel wrapped in a snake and holding an apple. While continuing to doodle and sketch, I continually came back to that drawing and that drawing eventually told me that -it- was the concept behind whatever was going on in my head that I hadn’t yet recognized.
One of the surest ways to stick with a comic you are creating is to write what you think you know, in the way you think you understand it. Well, as a man, I am sure of one thing, women rule the roost and in the world as I view it, there’s simply no getting around it. With that thought in mind, a basic premise began to emerge, that the comic I was developing would have this basic concept built into it’s fabric. This would mean making the female character a strong, independent woman married to a man who not only accepts his testicles belong to her, they belong to her begrudgingly, yet willingly. She in turn will toss those boys around in a loving, yet antagonizing fashion that only a married couple could do. With this mind, their basic personalities began to emerge and now, it was onto individual characters and character development. (to be continued…..)
