the science project #8

done in late october 2007, the idea came from a family vacation to ocean city, maryland. for those of you that have never been to an east coast beach vacation area, there are billboards and ads for all you can eat seafood restaurants everywhere you look. maryland, however, is all about crabs so the joke seemed obvious. we all kept laughing at the thought of a seafood restaurant that could be called "i got crabs." if only there was such a place.

the main character is the non-serial character "cap'n eddy". i admit that i love the way i drew him and the t.v. layout for the panels. the best thing about this episode was that this was where the SP started to really find it's groove and pun-like silliness. it really took off from here. it also changed visually because i started using different materials (bristol board vs illustration board) to draw on. it gave the comic a smoother and more professional look.

and if you were wondering, no, i never had crabs.
