His name is Boris,and he was my first character,created when I was just 14.

I had always been drawing as a kid,but two influences pushed me into taking it seriously. The first was Cerebus the Aardvark,an independent comic book whose title character intrigued me by being portrayed as a cartoon while his environment was realistically rendered. The second was some anime movie that somehow made it to air from a local New York City station. I remember that it was fantasy,titled The Princess and the Goblin,or something. The Goblin had the Princess's kingdom ensorcelled in a dream state,and all the servants were transformed into mice,but the clothes wearing kind. I took a huge sheet of paper and started doing comics,because the mouse girl head maidservant was,um,very cute,so I had the start of the adventure Boris just waking up at being a mouseman,remembering being a human being. In later comics,I refer to all species of human as Trueborn,who had subjugated the anthromorph races for eons. But with the introduction of Chaos Magic,a metainfluence that trumps conventional magic that only anthromorphs can wield, a revolution started,and I envisioned a world set in the slavery South where the slaves voodoo suddenly WORKED. We can make Massa's leg fall off if ah waves dis chicken foot! And expotulated from that point : the practitioners were few and far between, and once Massa's leg falls off,he gone be HOPPIN' MAD,Y'ALL! So they became secretive, and looked out for their own. My next character was a female wizard anthromorph named Cassandra, who wound up expostulating all the background material that I needed to explain, and even I found it a boring read. So I made a third character.
