Very cool, looking forward to the article and let me know if you have any questions!

Just to note, I publish Bello as a traditional 4 panel comic and also what I call a “Talkie” vertical video version (Reels/Shorts). These use the art from the comic, adjusted as needed and put to a soundtrack with spoken dialogue.

Also, I publish Bello Bear Episodes Mon, Wed, Fri which are 4 panel and more story driven. Tue, Thu, Sat I publish 1 panel Bello Bear Bits (plus vid version. The premise for these is that Bello and Avery try their hand at open mic comedy.

Bello Bear is on pretty much on all socials: https://www.instagram.com/bellobearofficial/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BelloBellOfficial/ https://x.com/bellobeardotcom https://www.threads.com/@bellobearofficial https://mastodon.social/@bellobearofficial https://www.tiktok.com/@bellobearofficial https://bsky.app/profile/bellobearofficial.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/company/bellobearofficial https://lemmy.world/post/34395090 https://www.lemon8-app.com/@bellobearofficial https://www.youtube.com/@bellobearofficial

Lastly, I do have website, but it’s still under construction (https://bellobear.com/).

Hi Johnny, I’m glad you’re keeping up with Bello!

As a matter of fact, I have some Euro in me, specifically German. I was born there and we came to the US when I was 7. My go to comics when I was little were Astérix and Lucky Luke. Once we were in the states, I also read pretty much every comic strip in the daily newspaper. A benefit of having a journalist Dad, who subscribed to 3 newspapers at once.

So as you said, there is a bit of a loophole there. Bello may not be inherently Euro, but they are certainly influences in my life.

Thank you!

Hi Johnny. I did but got some help and handed over the reigns for posting those. I was originally doing it all manually and it took a good amount of time. Time that I wanted to focus on my own comic Bello.

I want my comic to reach more people. The logical way to do that is with short form video, which dominates a good chunk of socials.

As an aside, I would love to do my comic as a cartoon, but the escalation of production is just not feasible, even though I have the ability. The format I have come up with is a happy medium between comic strip and cartoon and something I can achieve in a decent time frame.

Test 2, please ignore also.

Plus one, having the same issue.

Hi Dessert, I just started a community/magazine on Lemmy today and it has not propagated yet. Give a day or so and it should show up. You can find it at: https://lemmy.world/c/garfield

LOL we are getting old. Same for me, my buddy and I would ride our bikes all day and all over the place. Sometimes traveling miles and miles, where we’d have to really push it to make it home on time.

LOL it sure is. Anyone else go through DARE in school?

Theft is one thing and who knows what the numbers actually are for self checkout. Even with theft and us making a mistake or two, they don't have to pay cashiers, I'm sure they're coming out wayyyyy ahead.

You’re welcome and glad to be here too ;)
