Model-Sheet Clarification, 2: VIBES

VIBES is the Second key player within the strip, and this cartoonized canine being acts as neccessary stooge to the more strikingly-designed Jet Blanc, who often dominates stages Right, Left and Center. However, such is the free-form nature of the BABY BOOMER strip, that old Vibes very often appears in many strips all on his ownsome, acting or reacting to some typically bizarrre or unexpected event that has worked it's way into that particular day's strip.

Vibes [his name is clearly culled from late 60s counter-culture, although this strip is refreshingly drug-free at every level] is generally a good-natured, decent sort, if prone to bouts of laziness and occassional outbursts of anger at some of the more preposterous situations.


Here we see the original Model Sheet  I created to define his mutt-like persona, which was turned out in the very early days, after only a handful of strips had been completed.


I'd love to start a new Model Sheet on this character, seeing as how much the strip has evolved from this very early incarnation.

A relevant early contribution, however.
