Cops 'n' Robbers 3: Masked Mystery Bandit


LAW and ORDER serves up unending potential for highly-visual gags, and this item sees our four central characters take on the role of beat officers within a tough neighborhood in Downtown NYC. Their assignment: to track down---and unmask---- the mysterious masked figure who is waging a one- [wo]man crime wave war on NOO YOIK.


Tongue-in-cheek humor comes to the fore in this scenario, as not only is the suspect clearly the Statue of Liberty wearing a scowl and archaic mask, the fact that she is accurately described on her WANTED poster as being 'one hundred and fifty one feet tall, less plinth surely must narrow down the odds of identifying this renegade criminal.

For pedants of fact-finding trivia, [and they are a-plenty on the web] you can rest assured that your dedicated author and cartoonist has taken the time to check out the actual height of the 'real' Statue of Liberty, in order to ground this gag properly into 'reality'.


-----Yes, I thought the real Statue of Libety was a lot taller than 151 feet, also.....






Baby Boomer  seen on the 'NYPD potty/Gazunder'  here may have been slightly distasteful, but what the Hell.....it's MY strip/characters!

    Another new one...yippee!!

    Like the reverse gag of the statue of Liberty..
    I once did a simple computer animation story of the Stature of Liberty at my degree in Graphics Design at Epsom ...her spikes on her head looked like a Jaws fin has she came out of the sea then walking around and creating pot holes in New York roads..then using her torch like a lazor it sliced two building in half to create twin towers!!..I've been to New York and been at the top of twin towers in 1992...it had an amazing view..
    so you're not the only one to use the Statue of Liberty..
    its fun using our imagination..

    Great stories, there, Peter! It must have made a big impact on you, seeing what happened there 9 years after you visited there...I aim to visit the US at some point, though I have been in Latin America.

    Your comic stories sound very imaginitive...it's mostly all-new cartoons on this site from here on: there's a lot of new stuff already started, with colour work coming up as well if all goes to plan.

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
