Evolution of a Sticky Note: The A-Team

Here’s the story behind the creation of this comic:

1. I began with the idea of the A-Team being hired to do non-A-Team tasks. Like rolling pennies.



2. It wasn’t working for me, so I changed the mundane activity and mixed up the design. But I can’t really draw rakes. And I was still stuck on the idea that the mundane task would make B.A. Baracus furious.



3. Months later, I picked up the old cartoon to give it another try. I added the flan pun and chicken versions of the actual A-Team characters.



4. Finally I dropped the original ‘mundane’ idea completely and turned it into a lost episode. I added eyebrows to Face to make him more Face-like, and moved the flan to Hannibal’s side of the cartoon so the flan joke and image would be closer together. Here’s the full-size version.
