Color Experiment [3]

Slowly but surely, I'm learning to use computer-color......I've just learned to use the 'bucket tool': ace stuff, very quick indeed! So that's 'flat' artwork sussed out---------now to move onto 'gradiated tone, which is what I really want.......

    This drawing made me laugh the first time I saw it - it looks fab in colour (color?). Looking forward to seeing your next colour work.

    Thanks, guys! The blatant Americanisms in the spellings on here are deliberate: it's just me getting 'tuned in' to the strip, set in New York [mostly].


    The image of B.B. pumping up his foot was another of those lightning-quick ideas that was thought up quickly when I needed an illustration
    for the term 'Footnote' a few posts back....this cartoon has had a good response, so I'll likely incorporate it into the actual strips.


    A lot of colour stuff is planned, with some coming up soon, hopefully.

Cops 'n' Robbers 2: Boomer fights Back!

Image
An early 'Crime-n-Punishment' scenario theme-drawing of considerable vintage, this cartoon 'turns the tables' on the Noo Yoik cops who emerged so triumphantly dominant in the previous cartoon outing. Hardly the epitome of sophisticated  or 'highbrow' humor, these crime-related drawings reflect my own basically unpretentious sense of humor, which avoids  many 'modern' trends such as sarcasm or   irony, both of which are well catered for within much of today's printed and published output. IRONY is fine if handled well, but SARCASM has never especially appealled to me, either in real-life, or within mass-entertainment. This mode of 'humor'  definately has a following, but I do not count myself amongst these numbers. Give me that falling Anvil gag, or  a well-deserved boot up the a** scenario    any day of the week! I reckon the following gag has subconciously been influenced by TEX AVERY or somesuch purveyor of elaborate slapstick.

Badd Eggs [4]

MORE RELENTLESS RIBBING from my egg-themed satirical cartoons: and I must say, I find there is an endless stream of in-built ideas that are naturally springing from this egg idea. Another fairly [deliberately] rough rendition, but as planned I can still spend the bulk of my time on my central BOOMER characters here: the satirical targets are simple [but hopefully effective] second-string characters which I simply use as the butt of the gag ideas... mere .throwaway fodder, but fine for doodles like this one. A lot more of these on the way: they are so quick and easy to do. There is some polished stuff in the works as well---all coming up shortly. RABBO

IPC REDUX

Image
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.
