# 13 – Brent
Brent is a five foot walking cactus. Despite being prickly, he has a warm personality, and is a bit of a practical joker. His ability to blend into the west Texas landscape is a valuable asset when the Creatures are on the move.
<Creator comments: Brent is the one character that I had to totally redesign for 30 Days. A few years after drawing my comic books, I happened to pick up an issue of Legion of Superheroes. And there he was … my character Brent … in the form of Bouncing Boy! Although I don’t consciously remember it, I must have seen an issue much earlier, for I even had Brent wearing the same blue and white clothes.>
[In 1974, at the age of 12, I drew a series of “comic books” detailing the adventures of Merrill, a 15-year-old human boy, in the Other Land, an invisible dimension which co-exists with our own. The characters I am submitting throughout the 30 Days are the inhabitants of the Other Land.]
