F16 - We're With The Bandby *jbwarner86

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Comics / Strips

It's time for another Forever 16 origin story! This three-parter, from May and June 1992, chronicles the formation of the garage band Westworld. Already you can tell these fine young musical talents are destined for absolutely nothing.

Dear, naive Aaron - so far above his station, he can't even see the ground....and that's why we like him

End goals in sight man, end goals in sight...

Aaron wants to everything that isn't the core work that is the band. He's a teen musician alright. As for inspiration, let's not forget the Kinks and Zombies.

Wait... Where's Aaron's glasses?

About a year ago, I sort of unofficially "rebooted" Forever 16 - I rewrote a bunch of the origin stories and redesigned most of the characters, and that included getting rid of Aaron's glasses. One, I already had Katy and Abby, and three main characters with glasses seemed like a bit much; and two, how's Aaron supposed to keep glasses on his head when he's on the basketball court or flailing around onstage? They just didn't fit his character anymore.
