This strip was inspired by seeing "children's drawings" in film. Often, these images will be made by adults attempting to recreate a child’s drawing, instead of asking an actual child to draw them. As interesting as these images can sometimes be, like an actor playing themselves on a scripted reality TV show, the drawings appear to have been drawn by an amnesiac pen tracing the wrong past. It made me wonder ... what did we learn from our childhood drawings — what have we remembered and what have we forgotten? And, if our comic language is shaped by these lines, how do we stay connected with them as we grow older and further away from our first mark making?
