Comics update - The Beverly and Tara origins

It's been a long time time coming, and something I've wanted to do for months. I also know there's a bit of a demand for it; to see how these two goofballs met and got together.

I kept going back to the idea and leaving it again because I couldn't find a satisfying way of doing it as a "longer narrative". I was fixated on moving away from the "gag comics" to tell this story, and instead do a longer comic book format, but while I want to do stories with these characters IN that format, I want to do them as shorter stories with the characters already established. Themed stuff like holiday trips, or anything else that might fit that format better.

My decision is that I'll be doing the same 4-panel stuff I always have to tell the story of how they met and got together. I don't know how many I'll do, but I'm motivated to come up with funny scenarios of these two dorks meeting and eventually getting together. I've done a fair few comics with them as an established couple, so it'll be a breath of fresh air for me, and hopefully you as well. Some pre-Bev&Tara Sarah adventures might happen as well, + I'll likely introduce a couple of new characters too that will carry over to "present day."

This "flashback" arc will probably last a while, but I think it'll be a good way to get motivated to draw more funny shenanigans, as well as fleshing out existing characters and introduce new ones to the timeline.
