This is the way we’re going to roll with these – straight outta the sketchbook style. These strips were never inked and have never before seen the light of day. I think it’s interesting to see them this way and gives us a peek into Tim’s raw drawing talent. But remember – same characters, new situation. James is trying to make it as a new Contractor.

And so begins the final installment from the Levins and Young archives. Built to Last is the story of Stella and James, a young married couple living in the city. James is starting out as a contractor and Stella works all day in a busy office. Don’t you love the construction theme in the logo? 🙂 New strips will be posted Tuesdays and Fridays. Watch for news of the Levins and Young paperback collection, which will be available later this month and includes a sketchbook portion at the back. Fun stuff!
