Family Reunions...

Should Baker meet his family again?

That's a question I've been mulling over in my mind pretty much since I first drew his mom and siblings back last year. Like I said in the last post, it just seems natural to me that at some point you have to do a baby/kid version of your characters and when you do that you also kind of have to show their family. Can't have baby Baker raised by wolves!

So since then I've had various ideas pop into my head from time to time...one of his family members could show up at the zoo, or maybe Baker to go on a quest to rediscover his roots. I think these could be good stories, but at the same time Baker having to leave his family gives his backstory a nice tragic little twist. It also sort of establishes Shandy and others as sort of a surrogate family instead of mere friends.

Any of you fine readers have an opinion on the subject? Leave me a comment...help chart the course of this here comical strip!

I think it would be nice if they met up again. At least for alittle while.

Hmm...that's a good question. However, there are a bunch of other things I'd like to see before a plot revolving around Baker's family. I want to know more about Rose! Also, Shandy is way cool too. I'd like to see more story arcs about them.

Whatever you choose, I'll be reading! I love this comic, it always brings a smile to my face. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Heh, [continues to mull it over].

Oh and there's probably going to be more Rose after this Halloween storyline is wrapped up Shine!
