Flying with Becky - The jumpstarter

The first comic and the inspiration for my latest comic project: The Adventures of Penni and Beck. All the comics following this one are inspired by experiences from my childhood. I hope others can relate to some of the fundamental experiences I had and enjoy the imagination added, and those who have not experienced these things in their childhood can appreciate the narratives and think about the stories they can tell from their own childhood.

When I was a kid I was inspired by the disney film Mary Poppins to try flying with an umbrella. After watching that movie on VHS I would grab my umbrella and run outside where I would start to climb the fence. In reality I never put myself in mortal danger, and no I never flew, but I like to think about what the story would have been like if I was more daring and flying with an umbrella really was possible.
