This was one of the very first sketches I did when I was first sussing out the idea for Milo Multigrain. It led, of course, to the strip wherein Milo talks about his bedtime ritual. The original idea for Milo was called “The Many Moods of Milo Multigrain.”

I drew this sketch when I was working at The Nuart theater. It was done on the cardboard backing of a sign-in sheet. Doodling, it turns out, is something of a superpower.
