Ok, this is gonna be my submission to the AC conbook. The theme this year is, you guessed it, "Heros." When I sat down to think of what I wanted to do, I was having a hard time not falling into the cliche trap that a geek like me is prone to fall in... by drawing yet another bat Batman or generic superhero. I couldn't think of anything even remotely original until I was sitting about, complaining about my lack of inspiration to my sister. At which point, she went, "You know... the only hero I ever had when we were growing up was Mom." And that made me do a double take, because dammit if she isn't right. Mom is STILL kind of my hero. So, I thought, who's more important to a child when he's hurt or sick? Why, his mommy, of course. So, my homage to all those heros that people take for granted... their mothers.
