Some doodles I’ve been sitting on for a bit. I was rethinking Billy’s friend circle, and I decided that he should have one ‘beatnik’ friend instead of three. I figured the girls I designed, Rhonda, Katrina, and Beth, would be better suited as hip beach girls in Cedarside. As for Cecil, I repurposed an old design, and I think he fits in well. He’s older than Billy, and is a sophomore. He influences him by reinforcing Billy’s laziness and lack of trying, and is a slacker just the same. I also think I’ll give Todd more of a presence in the group as well.
For the sketch of Bradley, I expanded on the idea that he likes to tell terrible jokes in earnest, and thought it would be funny if he would do a standup routine at the talent show or something and just do nothing but these kinds of jokes. Somebody told me his voice probably sounds like Carrot Top and I can’t imagine a more perfect fit.
