As someone who LOVES pizza and as someone who used to live in Italy, I couldn't help but to make this comic! "Bambino's", which translates to "babies", is a story about a pizzeria that also delivers pizza babies to expecting parents.  The thought came to me one day when I had a hankering for pizza. I thought, "what if people loved pizza so much, they'd adopt a pizza baby!?". Thinking back on it now, that's a pretty weird thought to have. But, I feel like it resulted in a pretty fun story. 

I drew "Pumpkin Pie" around Halloween. I had sketched the Pumpkin Waitress for an inktober prompt (as seen below) and ended up liking the design so much I decided to make this comic revolving around the character.  I had originally intended to use two of the other characters I had designed for the main characters but ultimately decided against it. I opted to make them average kids so they would contrast against the design of the waitress. I felt it would be effective to have the mundane mixed in with a supernatural element. 

Based off the Grimm's Fairy Tales story "The Hut in the Forest", this comic is my own retelling of the fairy tale. I tried my best to stay true to the story while adding in quirky elements and exaggerating upon the characters.
