Welcome to 2013! Here’s the years first strip… and it’s super relevant because I just found out the show it’s based off – Swamp People on History Channel – ended last July. It’s an idea I had for awhile, and I still wanted to show it conceptually, so I figured the earlier the better. Might as well do it now than have it wither away in my sketchbook or do it while more time passes by and it becomes even more irrelevant.

Either way, one of my favorite parts of the show was commercial bumpers when there would be a squeaking sound with the claw of the alligator creeping up. The more I watched the show, the more I realized it was basically alligator murder show.

So here is the cast of Curls as if they were in Swamp People – Swamp Curls – the intros would just be their hands in claw formation reaching for the stars.

Here is the Carolyn & Joe Show podcast where we discussed Swamp People last April: http://carolynandjoeshow.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/swamp-people/

And here is the video of Swamp People (view at 0:25). Have a Happy New Year! Put your Curls paws up!

Mitten Love! Check out the Curls inspired mitten holiday cookies I made for Christmas too.

XOXO,
Carolyn
