Zombie Boy

People sometimes ask me “What exactly is Gorr?” and my first response is “He’s a little devil.” Many of you know that Gorr is based on my beloved pug, Pooj, but with a devilish personality and a wicked spiked tail. The first appearances of Gorr in the comic strips are very different from the pup that is Gorr today. Recently I came across this diabolical sketch from decades back when I was drawing Zombie Boy in an anime style with more of a vicious premise. It was a demon character, a pet of Zombie Boy, who never appeared anywhere other than my sketchbook. It’s funny how there are some similarities to Gorr – the stripes are there and so is the overall body structure. It’s a bit jarring, but when I say Gorr is a little devil, well, just be glad he’s not THIS one.
