The Garlicks!

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.

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

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