A chance encounter
Back in 2011, through a mutual group of friends, Kevin and James met during a long weekend surf trip to Cornwall, United Kingdom.
It was during this time that they had a chance conversation about writing, comic books and illustration with Kevin talking about the Westies of West London blog he had recently set up to draw cartoons about Casper.
However, Kevin mentioned he had no real story, just a set of characters and some ideas about Casper’s adventures in London.
James loved Kevin’s drawings and decided to pitch an idea about the Westies dogtective story. The idea captivated Kevin and they both decided to collaborate on a comic book story together, with Jim writing the story and Kevin creating the cartoons.
And so the WoWL Dogtective Agency was born!
