The Garlicks!

[divalea]

The Garlicks is a new middle grades/YA comic I'm working on. It's a vampire family that eats pork instead of drinking blood.

That's right, they're...hampires.

I had to slow down work on this as I got caught up on being divorced, then catching up on work thrown off by the divorce, then moving, then catching up on work thrown off by the divorce. (Pattern? What pattern?) Back to work on it soon.

Here's Pan(dora) Garlick, who had no apparent powers, but does have a precociously talented grade-school sister. Pan has decided to be a Beatnik.




Here's Pamila (Ham) Garlick.



Here's Vourdain Garlick, a bacon-eater with a ill-hidden love for flowers. (His look was inspired by Anthony Bourdain.)



And here is Olive Garlick. She's not a hampire, but a butcher.

So are pigs going to fly soon? Are they already flying and I missed the take off?

I'll admit I do more socializing over on Flickr than LJ now. I check LJ to see what feeds folks have from their other blogs.

Is this on spec or do you have a contract for it?

[divalea.livejournal.com]

Spec for now. An editor has seen it, they looked agonized that they'd just bought a different middle grades vampire book.

Are you sure that Vourdain's not carrying this (http://bacontoday.com/bouquet-of-bacon-roses/) kind of bouquet?

[divalea.livejournal.com]

Haha! Yeah. No.

Hampires! *Snort!* Someone will pick this up, I think. It does seem to have it all.

Love the art work and the theme. Nice work.

[kayshapero]

Nice looking characters. Terrifying pun. :) Good luck!

Ooh, this sounds like so much more fun than most of those YA/middle grade vampire books. If you need kid reader/testers, let me know; I run lunch time books clubs at my school.
