Monkey & Bird
This was one of the more popular web comics published at CO2 Comics a while back. It was the romantic adventures of a monkey and bird who met in the jungle and fell in love. I wrote and drew it while Tina colored and created backgrounds. You will find sketches and preliminary work on this page.
