Who’s That Guy?
I’ve received a number of e-mails concerning the most recent episode of “Kyle’s B&B”, ( # 167), asking in one form or another, “Who is this guy Steve that Kyle’s talking with here?”. Long-time readers may recall that Steve has appeared in the strip twice before…(no, I don’t have the episode #s in front of me, but they were both December “Holiday episodes”….I believe in 2002 & 2003). And…is he an angel? Well…the fact that he is the star of another comic strip of mine, “An Angel’s Story“, may confirm that this is so! Or, at least, he’s an angel-in-training….or something like that, (you’d have to read the strip to understand). The comic strip ran in Creations magazine, an east coast new age publication, for about 9 years, from the mid 90s up until a couple of years ago, at which point I needed to put the strip on hiatus as Kyle’s Bed & Breakfast was becoming my main focus and requiring more time than would allow me to produce both comic strips at the quality level I prefer. Will An Angel’s Story ever return? I hope so. I’m just not sure when. Kyle’s B&B has become more than a full-time occupation for me, and I’m not sure at this point when I’ll have the time to produce new Angel Story episodes. But hey….at least Steve seems to pop up here in the B&B episodes every once in a while. And you can still see several of the classic episodes of An Angel’s Story at the website.
In the meantime, below is a pic of Steve in the latter days of the comic strip, with his short-haired look, (it appears he has now returned to his long-haired look, which he sported for the first 5 years or so of the strip, which I’m sure should make happy all those who wrote me angry e-mails when he cut his hair short!).
