Watch Your Head slowly taking Boondock’s clientele
Cory Thomas’ new feature couldn’t have come along at a better time. “Watch Your Head” was launched early to take advantage of the Boondock hiatus. According to Black College Wire, Cory has picked up 15 clients since he launched on March 27th. Clients include Chicago Tribune, St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press and Seattle Times.
“He exhibited a lot of maturity as far as character development,” Amy Lago, comics editor for the writers group, said. “He has a fully developed cast, along the lines of Schulz,” a reference to Charles Schulz, creator of “Peanuts.”
“There are some cartoonists that work off of one or two characters, but he has a true ensemble,” she added.
