I remember well my African adventure days. I was just learning to color within the lines. But I don't have a clue as to the origins of Champ. Although I don't know much about Champ, I do know what I like: The title. Champ's Dangerous Adventures! And what danger! In adventure (I), Champ picks up, and then sets down, a kangaroo rat. In episode (II), Champ plays soccer! Danger lurks around every corner.
Note that I didn't use much marketing sense on the jacket. Simply Champ's Adventures. Not much sense of the excitement just around the next page.
I'm quite proud that by the time I had completed Champ's Adventures, I no longer had to be instructed to try to make my papers neat.
