ANT PILOT'S HANDBOOK
In early 1985, Wes was hanging around
his sparsely furnished college apartment with his two roommates deeply submerged
in dark boredom. Having just broken up with his girlfriend of the moment
and successfully serving a full 45 seconds of regret and depression as a
result, Wes decided to start a new cartoon adventure. Considering that he
does not smoke, drink or do drugs... what else was there to do? Thus there
was born the “The Ant Pilot’s Handbook”. The series went unfinished after
Wes met a new girl and the weather in Daytona got warmer. For the next six
years, the work rested in Wes’ files until 1991 and the Gulf War. At that
time, Wes heard from his college friend, and fellow Avion cartoonist, Buck
Wyndham, who was in the gulf flying A-10 Warthogs, and, along with his whole
squadron, bored to tears. With that Wes decided that the best way to use
the idled cartoons was to adapt them to entertain the deployed troops in
Desert Storm. So, the ending of the cartoon was fashioned as such, and Wes
shipped the whole thing off to Buck in Saudi Arabia who shared it with the
troops. |Page
