Baby Boomer's Domestic Bliss



No need to be NEGATIVE about it!
It's not all way-out wackiness and outlandish spectacle within the frames of BABY BOOMER, though, as the following illustration testifies to: a good healthy number of the strips are down-to-Earth and restrained, and even--dare I say it-----domesticated in a good number of occassions. A high proportion of the gag ideas center around highly recognizable everyday/consumer/ typical situations we all experience in our day-to-day living.

The only real difference within the strip's outlook is the obvious concession of the fantastic [as in 'fantasy'] or at the very least, unexpected , element of hopefully surprizing  humor or 'spin on things' coming to the fore somewhere within each daily strip offering.


Here we see a typical kitchen/early-morning scenario, only it's been pepped up a bit by the introduction of a seemingly alive free gift version of the Statue of Liberty, who 'herself' plays an active role as 'supporting character' within BOOMER's exploits......




More on this later.

THIS ITEM was a one-off, fairly elaborate Christmas-themed item in which the criteria was to recreate the ambience of the late 1960s/ very early 70s humour comics put out by IPC/ Fleetway---you know the sort of thing if you are into this stuff: Whizzer and Chips, Cor!!, and many more. ---in other words. 'no outright copying of established characters ' but I had to put over the basic ambience for them. Great fun, though clearly, this one took a fair bit of time to put together.

TODAY'S ITEM is the fourth---and last, to date--------customized tailored caricature job I got offered by a kindly gent who liked my stuff enough to ask me back a few times. Great fun as usual and again I liked to do it in  fairly elaborate technique-style. Also contained below: not-quite-finished artwork [complete with image underneath burning through] , the original rough sketch required to 'sell' the proposal, and other miscellanea. Enjoi! RAB L.

HERE I HAVE ADDED the second sheet of artwork for my 'ice-cream' mini-strip; that is almost all of the character stuff/props complete on this one:  I just have to drop in the simple background plates. Although as revealed last posting I am not too sure of the copyright aspects as regards THE FLY, my adaptation of a King Kong-like character as seen here should be sound------he is just used as a supporting character, similar to adding in a stock vampire, or a Frankensteins' Monster-type 'also-ran' character------more on this later. New strip stuff is well under way for further inclusion on here. is it just me, or is that a wee bit of subversion I subconciously added to the double-cornet ice-cream? ENJOI! Rab-erto
