Butterfly began as part of The Daily Grind Iron Man Challenge in 2005. I had agreed to join the contest before even thinking up a concept for a webcomic.

A robin is a less threatening creature than a bat, but both can fly. So, I started to wonder what kind of identity a sidekick of a sidekick would have. A bat is scarier than a bird, and a bird is scarier than a…butterfly!
