The City of New Haynesburg
CHARACTER
By Sterling Haynes
About
The cartoon characters are from New Haynesburg. A small fictional city. They embody community, diversity, inclusion, teamwork, business, family, and fun times.
Reason for its creation
I grew up watching cartoons and reading newspaper comics. Attending numerous art camps and courses.
Over time I noticed a lack of diversity in cartooning and wanted to create my own characters. Which aren’t appreciated in main stream comics.
The Black history column is to honor the contributions of Africans, African Americans, and those who support the cause.
