@SHarrowWrites Hi Susan! Usually stories start from a random sketch, or a funny thought. The 1st sketch that became Stellarphant is from 2014 (see below).
Stories don’t arrive fully formed; Mo Willems says it best - ideas aren’t things you get, they’re things you grow. #picbookbc
Here's a bit from episode 1 of SALLYMANDER, the comic I've got in this year's @TheSchoolMag.
Sally Tinker's built a Space-Time Instantaneous Conveyer Engine, aka the 'STINC Engine', aka a time machine.

I've got a comic serial in The School Magazine this year - it's another Sally Tinker adventure in invention.
It's called SALLYMANDER, and it's about time travel, fate, and fire lizards!
Thanks to the awesome School Mag crew for the opportunity.
I'll share more soon ...

"I have a crew,' said Stella.
"NOW, can we be astronauts?'
The man didn't know what to do.
"Well ... ummmm," he said ...
"... I'll get my manager."

Patrick Archy, on the front desk at Space Command, informs Stella that he cannot accept her application to be an astronaut (on account of her being an elephant and all).

I’d add to the list a great Aussie title - Introducing Teddy, written by @JessHealyWalton and illustrated by Douglas MacPherson.
@maggietipping @beatonna @theresathorn Yes! I was going to add this one. Great book
More astronauts from the front endpapers of Stellarphant. I wanted them to have similar looks - all square jaws, short haircuts, smarm brows.
My new book Stellarphant is out now ⭐🐘🚀
