Well, hi! Welcome to the new home of Catsup Comix! Admittedly, the old home never had anything on it and only, like, two people knew of it, but that is a thing of the past.
For those who do not know, Catsup is a comic that I created when I was in the sixth grade. I honestly woke up one morning and said, "well, I'm 11 now: time to start my comic!" And I sat down and created four cartoon characters, all cats. There was Catsup (the sad part is that at the time I didn't know that catsup is another word for ketchup. I just thought it was cool.) the silver american shorthair, Jules (named after Jules Verne, an idea from my aunt) the lilac point siamese, Crystal the cream persian, and a fourth cat, some abysinnian whose name I can't remember but it was probably really stupid. I don't remember him because...he never survived even to the end of the creation of the first comic. The other three remained, Catsup being the slightly stupid and very silly protagonist, Jules the brainiac who has been known to lapse into "typical boy stupidity" from time to time, and Crystal the sole girl, and a bit of a snot at that. I drew the stories of these characters as one page comics during classes in middle school. Within a few months I had drafted a few of my friends to draw the comic with me, and over time more and more characters were created. The fourth main character came out of a comic I had drawn with my friend Connie, who really should be credited with creating him, and he is a small green snake that wears bows. He was originally the object of a "snake-in-a-can-birthday-present" gag, who just loves Catsup--who is coincidentally afraid of snakes. But as more time passed he grew to be a main character--and a lover of pink bows, and he always wears one. The other creators of Catsup stopped drawing his adventures with me once we got into high school, with the exception of my best friend Shelley who continued to draw him in our freshman and sophomore french classes. But I believe that Catsup has always been and always will be my comic, and I view the characters as old friends.
The purpose of this blog is for me to show Catsup and company to the world, and to give me motivation to actually draw comics more often. The banner is a rough, and will change soon because I already can't stand to look at it, and I will post new stories, remakes of old stories, and pictures from the past. Along with the occasional random sketch of the cast, of course. I need something to do in history class!
That said, I hope you enjoy the comics to come, and feel free to comment on them all you want ( Constructive Criticism and all that) and poke me when I don't do anything. Because I'm laaazyyy!
