Doodling was such a key antidote to boredom during those everlasting school days. Somehow doodling evolved into multi-page romantic comic strips; inevitable, really.

Here's a romantic comic I did for Stacy. The storylines were definitely pure fantasy, but that's what made them fun. She liked an older neighbor at the time, so he was the co-star of this one:

I like the last one best because it was done in invisible ink. Bonus.

I found some pretty choice samples of art from my little group of girlfriends. You can see why they were the coolest people EVER to hang out with.
