Mark Savary is the creator behind the Autumn Lake webcomic and co-host of The Webcomic Beacon. According to Mark: “I was about four years old. I had inherited or been given a student desk (you know, the old kind with the hole in it for an inkwell). I was sitting there, and out of the blue, I said to myself, “I'm going to draw something.” Seriously, just like that. It was as if I had made some momentous decision, full of all the conviction and determination of a soldier, or a prizefighter, or a king (or, as much of any of that as a four year old can manage). Why? I have no idea. All I know is that somewhere in my head, a switch had been thrown, and I wanted to draw. ” It was with that revelation that a life-long passion was born!
