Lost Bridgette’s belly sub story
Added 2019-01-04 16:17:51 +0000 UTCI’m camping out today working on a new comic series that I’ve been stewing since before Bridgette’s belly. I came across an old note about a sub plot I had toyed with. Benji was largely inspired by my own son and some of Benji’s dialogue and taken straight from Ian. One time we went to a flea market, Ian (age 5) found a vintage Go-Bot toy for a couple of bucks and was ECSTATIC to buy it. He took it home named it “Rock Pecker” and slept with it like a teddy bear. Rock Pecker was the first in a very long line of vintage go-bot and transformer toys purchased at yard sales, flea markets, and thrift stores. Although I never used this idea, I did have a vintage Go-bot make a cameo appearance. In the diner incident when Benji yells at Ohmar, Benji is playing with “Zeemon” a super go-bot toy I had as a kid. Maybe if I do another Bridgette short story, I’ll include this sub plot. We will see.
