Turning Old Cartoons Into Short Books

Good evening everyone. Well, it's actually after midnight here. Good morning will suffice. Hope everyone is having a good day. I'm back on Booksie, sharing my other writings that I've done over the years. If you don't mind reading depressing poetry written by a teen going through a phase, by all means, feel free to read my two poems I shared on there. Just look for Ariana Torralba. Didn't like my teen years. That was the worst years for me.
Also on my Facebook and Twitter, I made mention of my cartoons I used to draw. To elaborate, back when I was 7 or 8, I began creating cartoons. I mentioned that in another post on here.
Well, one of the cartoons was called Mike Stone cartoons. I began drawing them, like I said, to cope with my parents breaking up.
Mike Stone was a teen that was into rock and metal music, liked playing musical instruments, favorite candy was Butterfingers, and he picked on his sister, Karen.
I stopped creating them when I was 21 years old because to me, I didn't think they'd get anywhere. It ended with Mike Stone beginning a rock band with his last friend from school named John and had his own kids.
Skip to 2015 and I decided I would keep creating Mike Stone cartoons, but only for my son and only him.
Now, today, I got the bright idea to go ahead and share Mike Stone cartoons, but not as a published cartoon. Instead, I plan on writing every one that I created over the years as short books for kids. Or teens, although can't think of many teens that are into rock/metal music.
I actually used to have a website up for Mike Stone cartoons. Think I took it down though.
So, that is something to look forward to. Also thinking of knitting hats and selling them, then donate half the profits. But also would like to donate knitted hats to hospitals for kids, infants, the elderly, and cancer patients.
... I'm a compassionate person. Always have been. And I hope my son will value that trait too.

Love
Ariana
