Several years back, my friend Chad kicked a webcomic idea my way about a guy (I can’t recall the character’s name now, sadly) who was a reality repairman. I loved the idea, and I did a few initial character sketches, but nothing ended up coming of the project because (1) I couldn’t manage my time and (2) I was actually busy as hell working full-time, just getting into my relationship with the woman who would become my wife, and taking graduate classes to earn my teaching license. And I was still doing Crooked Halo, so I had a pretty full plate.

So this sketch is based (loosely) on what I recall of the original character design. I still love the idea of him having kind of a frat-bro look about him, with the casual-looking-but-it-actually-took-effort hair and the douchey goatee thing. Also, I had this idea that he’d probably solve most of his problems with a hammer. What? It’s not any less-probable than the Doctor fixing everything with that screwdriver of his, sonic or otherwise.
