History of My Hobby
A&F is something that I've done on and off over nearly four decades. I first tried to draw it on Sunday, 21
June 1964. I had MUCH time back then, so I had the time to sketch out things. I still have a notebook from 1967,
and it serves as a diary. It was nearly a decade later when I actually began to write a journal.
I made the characters quite simple. I did not want to spend the time drawing out the characters, so I drew formic
creatures, which I now refer to as "abstracts" I revived the comic back in 1996, but I soon dropped it, as I sank into
the sea of a brainless job.

My Background
My background overall is on my mainsite. In reference to A&F and another comic I drew in college called "Living
Things", I must say that I drew off and on as a child. When I was a junior in college at Penn State, I took my first
art class. At the time, I was very interested in political cartoons, having become a fan of Herblock of the Washington
Post. Eventually, I moved into the second tier of art, and I became better. I even received an "A" in figure drawing.
Alas, that was back in 1980-81, and my skills have atrophied. I hope to revive them here, thanks to the internet.
