About Victoria Sharp, Girl Inventor: Inspired by the old Tom Swift novels for boys, Victoria Sharp, Girl Inventor is a retro-nostalgic, family-friendly comic that follows determined young Victoria Sharp as she pursues her passion for science and ultimately invents the first flying car. With her cat Rocket, Victoria must discover her own capabilities and overcome the obstacles all entrepreneurs and inventors encounter while turning their dreams into reality. A Little Project History: In March 2013, City Beast Studio was invited to design a comic for Milwaukee’s Flying Car event, in partnership with Flipeleven Creative and Innovation in Milwaukee. The project had three guidelines: 1) feature a flying car, 2) nod to the entrepreneurial process, and 3) entertain a multi-age audience. The City Beast Studio team thought it was time for the world to meet a wholesome but savvy female hero, empowered by knowledge, education and science. Together they created Victoria Sharp, Girl Inventor, developing her first 12-page episode from concept to completion in just 34 days. Current Distribution: Victoria Sharp, Girl Inventor released on May 24, 2013, to an audience of 10,000 Milwaukee Business Journal subscribers as part of the ramp-up to Flying Car. The comic was also distributed at the citywide Flying Car Gala on June 7, 2013. Next Steps for Victoria Sharp: While her debut comic leaves Victoria flying into the sunset, its ending remains open for many follow-up tales of whimsical science adventure. Possible avenues include a full line of comics, animated companion episodes, related merchandise, and curriculum tie-ins.
