Jet Blanc's Spring Outfit

A Back-to-Basics, Domestic farce scenario today, readers, with fantasy and surrealist trimmings as per usual. This one is sort of Tex Avery-inspired themery, with something totally unexpected and impossible appearing 'out of the blue', to strike surprize and hopefully silly comedy into the mix.

I've chosen to stop putting in so much cross-hatching and other older techniques, as these drawings may well be converted to color before long...all new entries on the cartoon front are designed with full-color in mind, which has altered the approach to inking in general.

Fear not, though, the core basics of the drawings will always be of the hand-drawn variety: I have no love for totally computerized imagery, which looks to false and artificial in my view, and secondly I couldn't be annoyed sitting doing drawings by computer screen all day...it's too exasperating and complicated, and it's a total relief to just draw with pencil, paper and ink, after the often frustrating over -complexities of cyber-cartooning. 

Great for color, though!

  1. Yes - a really fabulous piece of work Rab. Bit like Floyd Gottfredson, meets Ken Reid with a soupcon of Leo Baxendale added the mix.

    Which are some of the reasons why, I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of Baby Boomer's antics.
