Chen & Solly was one of the earliest original series ideas I came up with, however dated catgirls, robots, and aliens are now. I brainstormed a number of scenarios while I was part of a group pirating Japanese anime (WAY before it was commercially available in the United States and/or English). Obviously, I was influenced by the anime... but by the time I actually started to write stories, the ideas were pretty much my own.

Chen & Solly got back-burnered as I went to college, worked at a comic book store, and generally tried to make a living. In the mid-1990's, they became mascots for a website I created -- the Comic Book Clearing House -- which is where this comic was first posted online. When the Clearing House died, I moved the comic to the Thwack! Pow! Productions website here.

I'm hoping Kickstarter will not only let me finish this first story, but also let me add more adventures after... I have a notebook full of ludicrous ideas for and about Chen, Jill, and Solly, as well as notes about the origins of the strange town they live in. Enjoy!
