Uh oh, this kid’s got a name now. That means it’s serious! The equivalent in dating would be meeting the parents.
I really like that first panel. I usually cringe when it comes to drawing people inside of cars, but I am really happy with out it came out.
Time for a little SB trivia. First it started off with just Pickle and Todd. When I started fleshing out the world, Trish was introduced as a backup character. However, in the end she pushed in front of Todd for the spotlight. There was a time, that both Todd and Trish were going to be replaced by Oliver. Oliver and Trish were actually related for a minute once.
But I scrapped all that and we are left with this incarnation of haphazard do-gooders.
Oliver may eventually become a vehicle for some other ideas I have…
P.S. drawing kids is tough.
You nailed the look of the kid.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I have a love/hate drawing relationship with that kid.
Oli looks like he could be Pickle’s little brother or something
They do both have that devil may care attitude…maybe brothers from a different mother?
Maybe a cousin once removed
In the last panel it should be “the name’s Oliver” (needs an apostrophe).
Thank you again. Really appreciate you taking the time.
