Together, David and Russell chose to create something that would better the lives of those who stumbled upon it, no matter how small that betterment might be.As Russell always loved Halloween, monster movies, and horror books, the theme of Felipe Femur came naturally. With an initial idea of an introverted skeleton living in a closet, Russell brainstormed with David to get a general idea of the desired direction of the work. With this, Russell went about writing, struggling with rhymes, alliteration, and the length in order make the story appeal to children, but not dumb it down by any means. It still carries a very real message:Felipe is an introverted, not shy, protagonist. In an extroverted world, introverts often struggle. With the absence of a stomach, nose, and skin, Felipe and his friends illustrate that no one person can do, or be great, at everything, and we must all rely on one another. Making it clear that Felipe has friends challenges the stereotype of introverts as being antisocial weirdos, and depicts them as those that still need social interact, but simple recharge in private, and have solitary hobbies.Felipe Femur is intended to be the base on which many more related stories may build upon. The following character descriptions hint at adventures to come.
