Drawing Sam

Before going on to today's cartoon, a reminder that clicking on an item should enlarge it.  Then clicking on the black outside the blog page should return things to normal.

When one creates a character, one of the preliminary sketches takes over and you know that's the one.  After finishing that so that your character is more or less settled in your mind, you need to turn him or her around.  I've tried to do this with Sam, one of the pets who appear in my cartoons from time to time.  I've recovered some of the drawings used in creating Sam, but noticed how different the orange coats were; I've settled on one colour here..
