So, what we have here is my first attempt at a comic strip that was not "Sinking Ship." Called "Tumblers," it was six strips starring a young boy named Jake (who may , or may not be, a younger version of Jake from Sinking Ship and Chalkdust) I lost interest in it soon after drawing it, and about six months later I created Grant and company, christened it Tumblers as well, and kept going.
