Air Buddies

1990somethingcomic.com is undergoing a major overhaul this week, thanks to the generous contributions of Doodley, in an effort to make the site more easily navigable. So while I’ve got that going on, I’m also drawing Nineteen-Ninety-Something daily, plus commissions, plus my day job and my usual bills – and in between all that, I still keep coming up with ideas for Off the Deep End. It’s another one of those periods in my life where I wish I could be about three or four more people.

I saw an underwater photographer on Facebook not too long ago who hosted an underwater modeling summer camp for kids, and I instantly thought it’d be a great idea for Off the Deep End. It’s exactly the sort of thing Danielle would do, and exactly the sort of thing Spencer would invite his classmates to participate in. A little two-week course where kids can learn how to use scuba gear and look comfortable underwater, and everyone goes home with a portfolio of their best photos to share with the family. And for someone like Brenda, who thinks Spencer is really cool but can’t muster up the conviction to talk to him, this is the perfect opportunity to hang out together. Looks like Spencer’s already impressed with her amateur underwater breathing abilities
