There's Something Different 'Bout Benny Heraldo
An extremely lo-fi comic that I like to waste my time with. It's all in good fun and probably my most family-friendly work. I've always been a fan of comics and wanted to create one I could call my own, with a serialized format and long-running storylines to connect them all. The driving force behind this story? Well, it's all in the title...
Inspirations for this include Regular Show, Dragon Ball Z, and countless other cultural references. The frame narrative that drives it all, the documentary film by Amika Patel, is directly inspired by 1001 Arabian Nights, and Benny Heraldo is my high school Sinbad.
