Average Origins

    This blog's origin comes from a few months ago when I started making little comics in my sketch pad.  These drawings were about me, whether I had come up with a brilliant idea or simply making a fool of myself.  However, I took lots of time to make all the other characters in my drawings.  Each character had distinct and unique details that made them original.  When it came to drawing me, I simply drew a stick figure.  The way I saw it,  I was completely average.  My actions define who I was.  If I was a "sporty person", it was because I was DOING something involving sports, not necessarily SAYING or LOOKING like I play or like sports.

   Back to the topic of other people.  Because I did not know them as much as I knew myself, I define them by their LOOKS.  Think of the word average as describing me. If someone passed by me, wearing stylish clothes, had lots of money in their pockets and had the most recent type of phone, they would be higher/better than average (me).  If I passed a person wearing a dirty tank top, having to use his phone for EVERYTHING, and is unable to do small problems alone, and he talks very slowly, we can then conclude that he is lower than average (me).

   I had the plot, characters, and setting all picked out, but I needed a name for this project.  I thought and thought for a good 15 minutes.  Just then, I heard the phone ring.  At that moment, I knew exactly what to call it:
