Cricket! 8- Fall Fun

Hey folks! Another week, another "Cricket!" In this week's strip, we get a peak into what activities pass as "fun" for the avid bug-lover.

Two things to point out in this edition: First, as you can probably tell, this strip is a little behind, weather-wise. I originally drew this back in early November, when the joke was topical. I guess that's the price you pay for trying to include a buffer in your comics. Anyway, I submitted this comic to the school paper for their literary edition at the end of the year and they published it! Got a lot of good feedback from friends and coworkers and it even wound up on the department's website. Feels nice to be recognized every once and a while. :-)

Secondly, this strip introduces a new character to "Cricket!" The girl with the buggy hat is June and I have been waiting a long time to introduce her to you all. Since I first thought her up, I've put a lot of thought into fleshing out her character. If you want to know more about her, head over to the Character Collecting Box page to read her bio.

One last thing to mention. Next week, expect a holiday-themed message from "Cricket!" next week around Valentine's Day. It'll give you a chance to see some of the improved design for Cricket that I've been working on, much like Rose from last week's comic.

Well, that's all for now! Take care and see you next week.
