The Short Furry Life of Reggie Bishop is one small story within a much larger world that Abe Olson has created. The works in this series are still in process as of 2018.

 

Story: Abe Olson

Art: Angela Boyle

Page layout: Angela Boyle

Publication Date: August 2013

Format: BW, 20 pages, 8.5 inches tall x 7 inches wide, hand-sewn binding, originally with a screen printed cover of purple on pale blue. Also included in Cartooning Studio 2013 comic Angela later put together.

​

Angela created this comic at the 2013 Cartooning Studio workshop at The Center for Cartoon Studies before she decided to go there for an MFA program. It was difficult working on a story for a writer who was on the other side of the country in such a short time frame, but they made do. Angela did the comic with the intention of printing at half legal (8.5 x 14 inches instead of 11 inches) because Alec Longstreth, one of the teachers at the workshop was so against half letter. Some moving arguments from that man.
