Veronica's 'Alter-Ego'

ANOTHER ASPECT of the strip ripe for development are the 'sideline gags' where the strip veers off into another direction, and in this case, it's lush catgal's VERONICA'S twilight-hours 'part-time job' as vigilante  feline-crimefighter in the moonlight hours.

There's definately a touch of the 'EMMA PEELS' [a mid-late 60s sultry glam icon of ITV'S The AVENGERS, unforgettable to anyone who lived the swinging '60s] about Vero's leather-clad persona,  all shiney black leather and flowing locks. I've only done about 5 finished drawings on the subject of this character, which of course takes in influences from BATMAN and other 'Superhero' references.......I've just made Vero an agile mortal without Superpowers, however: she's a darned good athlete and acrobat [a bit like a real cat, really], as she takes off into her own self-contained adventures of danger and drama, presumably while B.B., Jet, and Vibes are still kipping in Slumberland........then first thing next morning, it's back to mundane washing the dishes, filing the Statue of Liberty's nails and manicure, etc, etc....

------More on this later.
