Quack and Anti-Quack

I already chose a character for the quack. “Idiot” is a character I created years ago when I worked at a design firm. Fast forward to today, he is the perfect character to represent the junk science about stuttering.

Here’s what I came up with for my Anti-Quack character who, as you’ve most likely guessed, is the scientist who actually does research and keeps up to date on stuttering knowledge, etc. Inspired by (and slight caricature) you-know-who and his podcast ;)

I still need to refine him. Perhaps thicker pencil strokes will do the trick.

Here’s a sneak preview of an upcoming character I’ll be introducing (once I get off my arse, that is!) in a very near future comic. This stutterer will be totally cool with his stuttering and will play a role in bringing Franky Banky to accepting his stutter as well. At the moment, his name is Chess until I can find a better name (if any). The final Chess is at the bottom.

    I’m thinking here… and I think the quack may need some bling. After selling his quackery-cures for high-prices (gouging those with hope), he’s probably lavished himself a little bit?

    Meh–what do I know. I can hardly draw stick-figures… :)
