In 1982 , when I was young, I came across a comic book called "Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!". I instantly fell in love with it and its artist Scott Shaw!. Scott became my inspiration for wanting to become an artist. It was my intention to someday draw the Zoo Crew!. It looked like that was never going to happen. I started to do the next best thing an d create my funny animal super heroes. I quickly learned that I was pretty good at creating them.
Megamoose was not my first creation. He came about when I was developing new characters for the Zoo Crew!. Later he became a member of a group I called The Animalistics. At one point I decided to do individual stories of each I started out with a story called Megamoose vs Death Dog. I enjoyed working with Megamoose so much that he became the character I wanted to star in his own comic.
I created Megamoose based on generic patriotic super heroes like Captain America. He is large and super strong, fast, almost indestructible, but clumsy. He is vain, a little cocky, not that bright, but has a strong sense of justice. I also based him on professional athletes like Ed McCaffrey who's willing to endorse just about anything.
