Four more were posted the same day. And for four and a half months, those five were the only postings in my what was then a small gallery (The last two were since moved to my scraps).

These were the only postings in my gallery for the first four and a half months, until November 30th 2012.
Then over a two month period, November 30th, 2012 to Feburary 4th, 2013, eighteen more postings were posted beginning with the one of an angry man busting up a TV set...It was still a very small gallery with only 23 postings.
In the next three BB tags, you can notice the text method described in pic # 6;

Also on Feburary 4th, 2013, was the first big project in my gallery...That was definitly a milestone.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +53 \r\n\t\t\t |
It was submitted as 32 postings...The first one a multiple posting. And the 31 others as single pics.
Later that same month, Feburary 25th and 26, 2013, another big project, with artwork from 1995, was added. Ten or so other single pic postings were posted since the 4th before this one was added. At this point, it was beginning to feel like my gallery was getting some substance to it.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +44 \r\n\t\t\t |
It was submitted as 41 postings. The first one a miltiple posting. And the 40 others as single pics.
"Nico and Pancho Meet a Friend From Far Away" was originally created in 1995, meant to be a storybook manuscript but never got published as a book...The cover page (showing Pancho Meerkat's genitalia) was not the original 1995 cover it started out with as a storybook manuscript.
The actual drawings have text below them, which is in typewriter text, of course...
...The full pages with that text and original 1995 cover page are shown in the link below;

This drawing posted on March 26th, 2013 (created in 1995) had that infamous typewriter text in the speech bubbles;

As well as those goofy margins I would learn how to get rid of almost a year and a half later.
This point in time was truely a major milestone. It was about the time it felt like I had a really full gallery. By May of 2013, my gallery had grown up to three pages, and two great postings were submitted that month...This one on the 4th of May...
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +11 \r\n\t\t\t |
...And this one, with a story, on May the 17th. The original had been since moved to scraps since a version with the story improved was posted. Pics and posting have had improvements since then.
The next two BB tags reflect the time era from May 2013 to August 2014 when I used hand written text. (The title, "Circumcision Attempt", was added to the comic page after that time era);
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +10 \r\n\t\t\t |
By July of 2013, my gallery grew by over a dozen more postings, and on the 7th of that month, I added a really cute one.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +10 \r\n\t\t\t |
In August of 2014, my gallery had gotten up to four pages
Also in 2014, two follow up stories to "Circumcision Attempt" with Zander Rat were added...This one on April 1st, that also had some of the Meerkat Family in it.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +14 \r\n\t\t\t |
And this one on August 20th, that ends with the final demise of Zander Rat.
This also marks the time when I had learned to enter text via Paint Program. You rarely see hand written text from this point on (except for something a characters says very loud and dramatically).
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +18 \r\n\t\t\t |
In August of 2014 I began to learn some technology...Like the first posting with Paint Program text...This is about the time you see hand writen text on images in my gallery begin to disappear.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +10 \r\n\t\t\t |
Around August or September of 2014 was also when I got my first drawing tablet.
This was also around the time I learned how to crop images on a laptop so I don't have those goofy margins I had when I had photographed my drawings.
And in November of 2014, I did this drawing completely digital.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +2 \r\n\t\t\t |
Before the summer of 2014, I have never done anything digital on a drawing...You will now see a few of my earlier postings, prior to 2014, where I had replaced some pics with improved versions.
In September of 2015, I opened two other IB accounts, \r\n\t\t\t\t\t

There are some good pics on there as well.
By November 2015, my gallery had gotten up to five pages. It was on October 15th and November 2nd of 2015 I divided the story "Circumcision Attempt" into two seperate stories, one of the Meerkat Family, and the other of Zander Rat and his family.
The story as one story began to exceed the 500,000 letter limit as I made additions to it over time.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +38 \r\n\t\t\t |
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +5 \r\n\t\t\t |
And just this past couple of months in July and August of 2016, I had a run of some really good ones...This two month run in itself another milestone.
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +10 \r\n\t\t\t |
| \r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t +12 \r\n\t\t\t |

And within a few days ago, in this month of September of 2016, I went back through the old pics I had posted before I knew much of anything about digital art technology, and placed in typed text and got rid of those goofy margins.

Since July of 2012, my gallery has come a long way.
