For the last day of the LobStar campaign I want to share this drawing of Matt my 7 year old did because he likes that his dad makes comic books. It's nice to hear my boys be excited by or even proud of what I do.

I don't really read superhero comics, but this thread is a great explanation of what drew me to working on LobStar anyway. there's still time to back!
Why make a *superhero* story about a lobsterman?
The concept seems like it would probably do okay as a more realistic slice-of-life story, or an adventure comic, or even something like horror. Maine has enough of a reputation for being spooky.
The easy answer is because superheroes are fun.

So, that’s why Matt Murphy is a lobsterman. His background is in doing hard work for a tough industry that recognizes the need for sustainability over maximal profit. I think that helps make him a principled man, a good guy who stands up to do the right thing.

Lobstering is still a tough business and the waters of coastal Maine are far from saved, but the fact that there’s still a lobster industry there at all is a success. Other factors beyond the lobstering community’s control (like global warming) make it an ongoing battle with no end in sight.

So while it wasn’t entirely for altruistic or environmental reasons, they got together to save their industry by foregoing short-term profit in favor of long-term sustainability. Strict size limits were imposed, as well as other rules such as throwing back females with eggs.

Some time ago, they recognized that if they kept harvesting at the rate they were going, they’d fish up all of the lobsters in the area. Ecological disasters aside, they’d also destroy their own livelihood.

Matt wants to do what he thinks is right at the expense of any personal gain. It was like a microcosm of the one thing I knew about the lobster industry before doing any research for the story: lobstermen of Downeast Maine were one of the very first harvest industries to self-regulate.

Why make a superhero story about a *lobsterman*?
“For the pun” was the original answer.
The second answer is that I can’t really think of an “iconic” New England-based superhero, so it seemed like a good idea.
But, why a lobsterman, specifically? Besides the pun.

A #lobster is a #dragon. Lobsters don't die as long they can grow bigger & molt their armored shells. Elder dragons are also known to grow huge & are armored scales. So, I made a #crochet one, inspired by #LobStar! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ver...
