Well, in the sense that they are the cast of Bomango. The actual "Bomango" content of this piece is 2 individuals, but I digress.

This is a composite "cover" image of the main families of characters in the upcoming Bomango webcomic! (There are more characters, of course, but in due time).

"Bomango" follows the adventures of Andy Fisher--and indeed, the whole Fisher clan--as summer break begins, and his town is blessed and/or cursed with the arrival of a most peculiar person (or persons, as it happens), and also a small blue beastie, which turns out to be the least of their concerns. "Gogo", the new girl in town, quickly becomes an ordeal to be reckoned with, and shenanigans ensue. Many shenanigans, great and small. SHENANIGANS BY THE BUSHEL, i tell you.

Anyhoo, the cast:

In the background, hyperbolically/metaphorically large and in charge (despite protestations to the contrary): Gogo Bomango
Foreground, left to right:

The Reyes family! Luis, Hector, Janet, followed by

Elainey and Andy Fisher, before whom stands

Pablo (hams)

then Didi Bomango, who cheerfully stands next to the rest of the Fishers: Roy, Leesha, Kari, and finally, looking quite disinterested in the whole affair, is

Cora May Melikian, the tiny purple people-eater. (er, metaphorically)

Well! That was fun. Stand by for more...stuff! as I fight to make this story happen! And stay tuned, for I will hound you all with further information ad nauseum when I have more to share

peace. and enjoy!

Hello again!

So hey! I've been away from dA for a bit, walking the earth, getting into adventures n'shit, riding historical on the Fury Road. Which is all well and good, but let's get back at it here.

As you may or may not know, my comic "series" here on dA, Bomango, has been something of an ongoing experiment and--for lack of a better term--"creative sandbox" for many years, during which I've made jokes, characters, stories, weird stuff, boring stuff, occasionally great stuff (i hope, anyway), and overall, it's been super fun. It's also been super confusing for people, because it's not REALLY a proper "Story", and certainly not organized or told as such. Which had left me in the awkward position of making a comic and thinking to myself "what if this were a comic?"

That's a weird place to be.

Anyway, I'm going to be answering that question: What if this story were ACTUALLY A DAMN STORY?

Towards that end, here's a little bit of production reference art that SOMEONE ALREADY POSTED SOMEWHERE (cough cough) with a bit of the cast from future works. (Still in progress adding to this lineup as of this posting, that's why there're folks still missing).

Left to right on the lineup:

1. "Regular" Gogo Bomango: Average meal size, no extra cost. This is your starting Gogo package. Upgrades optional.

2. Didi Bomango: Buy one Gogo, and mail in for your free Didi at no extra (financial) cost!

3. "Deluxe" Gogo Bomango: Like it or not, your Gogo is now upgraded. Deal with it, and adjust door frames/reinforce furniture accordingly.

4. Andy Fisher: THE HERO OF OUR--wait, is he? Maybe...wait, no, he's saying he doesn't care for labels. Fine. Okay, anyway, he's kinda short, and the world around him ain't getting any smaller either.

5. Pablo: The wee blue beastie. HAMS.

6: Safara: Serious, fiery business. Or smouldering business. But serious business, and usually at high temperatures.

7: Titus: LARGE business. VERY LARGE. YUUUGE. You THINK you've seen LARGE, but you don't even KNOW. The very essence of David Rydering (BIG McLARGEHUGE!)   

8: Leesha Fisher: Andy's cousin, redheaded but significantly less fiery business than #6. Likes to judge others, so she'll have a field day if she looks to her right.

9: Cora May Melikian: Wicked eyebrows, wicked business acumen, pathological bureaucratic sensibility, and a love for shades of purple.

Well! I doubt that explained much of anything, but...enjoy! More to come, much more Happy Sunday!

Here's another little number (a component of an upcoming composite piece). Happy Sunday!

Hey there ho there! Remember me? Let's post some character stuff and wake this gallery up a bit

Here's a little number from the Didi Bomango files to kick things off. Good morning!
