Here is an inside view to my thought process...

One night, I had gone out to a movie with my brother and my friend. Initially we bought tickets for the film Cats and Dogs, but on entering the theater and seeing the endless rows of children aged 12 and younger we reazlied that the target age of the audience differed slightly from our own. Never the less, we stayed and watched the first 20 minutes of the film before changing theaters to watch another movie.
The next day while thinking about the clever antics of the dogs in the movie, I wondered about our own dogs, and the way that my brother and I used to joke about how they were secrete agents, just like in Cats and Dogs. Then my thought shifted to how smart our dogs actually were. My dad swears his old dog, Blacky, was smarter just because he would jump the fence to get out. Blacky was the family dog, and I joked to my mom about how uncreative of a name "Blacky" was, just like "Cheese Mouse" and "Raquie" (which were names of stuffed animals that my brother owned as a kid). From there I began to think about Mi-mi, the blanket he used to sleep with as a young child. It would make a cool premise for a comic, I thought. A young boy has a blanket which was an item of power and magic. Initially I was thinking of giving Mi-mi to Munchubop and make it his security blanket which also had hidden magical powers, but I didn't want to introduce magic into that continuity because it would change the premise for that comic. Instead, I gave it to back to Aaron and decided that I would just make him a character in his own comic and his side kicks would be Raquie and Cheese Mouse. It didn't take long for me to realize that I did not want to draw another comic strip, seeing as how I hardly have time to draw all of the strips I think of for the two comics I already do. Instead, I would make it a book or a series of stories that I would collect together as a magazine. From there, creating a story was easy. In less than two hours I had come up with the basic plot of what I called Aaron in Airland.
