Mister Men Pastiche
One of the more reputable cartoonist-sites is running a 'create-yer-own-MISTER MEN-character-tomfoolery' theme, and here's my very straightforwards entry:
I wasn't too sure about this to begin with [ I have never been one for copying the styles of other artists rigidly, and even here I think my unique way of drawing still shows through] but great fun nevertheless, and it has proved a quick and easy way of getting effective results.
Some subversive MISTER MEN will be forthcoming at some pint, when time allows, etc, etc........

Simpler, fewer lines to draw with requires DEFINITE SKILL to do effectively and I appreciate this a lot more these days.
