Sunday Comics: A Dizzying Tale of Dummo Mouse

Getting feedback for creative stuff was tough for my older brother back in 1983 when he drew these Dummo Mouse comic strips. My older brother would mail copies of Dummo Mouse (and sometimes copies of other ideas he had) to syndicated comic companies or to agents that represented other comic artists, and then months later he would get a slip of rejection note paper responses.

It was also difficult to get positive feedback from his family and friends. At that point, he had moved away from the small town with the weekly newspaper that had published his Calloway the Castaway comic strip for almost half a year. Most of his creative friends in his new home city weren’t in to comic strips (they were more into music). Even though I lived hundreds of miles away, when I saw these Dummo Mouse strips months and months after he’d draw them, I’d freak out. I thought these were great, especially when compared to a lot of stuff in the daily newspaper.

And now I get to publish these on my own blog!
