Not every illustration in the calendar was related to another project or story idea. This one just is what it is. What it is is up to you, the viewer, to decide.

At least one month of each of my calendars from 1990 to 1995 featured a dragon and a boar in the illustration. Blame it on the Chinese zodiac.

The Lizards hang out with trio of Lost Boys – sort of. The fellow on the right is Lone Crow. He’s hanging in mid air. ‘Cause that’s what Lost Boys do. From Wild Shadows another of my multitude of barely begun, not-even-close-to-finished graphic novel projects.

This was the second illustration in the center of my 1995 calendar. This one depictions the Misspent Youths gang fifteen years (1995 + 15 = 2010) after the last illustration. A couple of kids seem to have been added to the mix. How’d that happen?

In the center of the 1995 calendar I included a couple of illustrations of the Misspent Youths gang. This one, the first illustration, depicted the kids as a teenagers. (Mostly. The one with the teddy bear was about eight. He was a child that Moe and Lili rescued from a cult in an unpublished episode of Bonecage Graffiti.)

Sandra and … her boyfriend … I can’t remember his name right now and I’m writing this post while on the road so I can’t check one of the comic pages … meet the Switagern. Sandra is Buffy Crawfield’s little sister. The Switagern is a creature I invented back in 6th grade. Griffins are a mix of eagles and lions and Hippogriffs are mixes of eagles and horses. The Switagern is the unlikely mix of a swan and a tiger.

And those critters in the foreground? What do they look like a mix of?

Moe and Lili in their younger days.

In my mental history of the Misspent Youths gang Moe and Lili first met and became friends when they were in grade school. And Lili was much much shorter.
