Story:
Not 2 Shabby was created by Abby (Normand) Asauskas and Shelby Normand. Shelby always wanted to make her own comic series, however she couldn't think of any ideas. One day, Abby and Shelby were visiting family in Colorado and taking a plane back home. They had a conversation about making a comic together. The comic would be about them and their funny/idiotic adventures! Roles were given, Abby was the writer and Shelby was the illustrator.
Not 2 Shabby got it's name by combining their names, which made Shabby and there were only 2 main characters.
