To cap the 1985 series, and, by that time I understood that the city of Santa Cruz really stood as a major character in the series. I decided to embark on a somewhat historic take on the town, setting it in 100 years in the past. Imagining the characters as kids in that era and what sort of lives they would have led.
I was on my way, and spent 100 pages depicting this era all the while working in actual locations as well as real events amongst the storyline. I was fascinated with how different and foreign so many of our customs and norms were back in the 19th century.
