LOve this guy, Ryan--Looks like he needs to be a second comic strip of yours and Steve's--KING HENRY--little guy who walks around as if he were king of the world, trying to make all things that distress him right in his little kid's mind's eye. Fish should walk so they can get out of their bowl and see more of the world, so he decrees and we get to see what the world would look like if Henry ruled. The fish loves it at first but falls flat and gets mad at Henry. OR sheer wish fulfillment that always turns bad---money, candy, toys, no mean mom, etc.......The parents try to get him to take the crown off, they don't know what he is doing, but we knows in Henry's world he is king. Maybe too obvious on the nose. You make it Metlan cool and it will fly. Mike
Thanks Mike - This is actually part of a little book that is started but not finished yet... funny you mention King Henry because that is exactly who it is supposed to be!
