Subvers-O-toons [4]: Jet Blanc
A fairly controversial entry today, readers, with a cartoon that is deemed never likely ever to see print: here it is revealed that 'cool cat Jet Blanc more than likely only owns one solitary cat-suit, which has to be washed and aired and dried when required.....nothing unusual in that set-up, you may ponder...but take a closer look: the feline one has literally shed his skin and hung his 'clothes' out to dry, while he casually sits and waits -----in the form of a living skeleton!
A wilfully bizarre situation, and one that I had planned on doodling for a long time.......extra touches here include a look at the roof-level on the towerblock where most of the characters live, as well as the abundant bird-life that soar above the Noo Yoik skies.
One detail that I will likely have to point out: the small icebox seen near the seated Jet is not only for his chilled fruit-drinks, but also where he keeps his innards fresh while he waits to 're-assemble' back to normal!
I handled the idea with enough taste to keep the fridge door shut, and not reveal this grisly sight, however......a real oddity of a drawing, this one, but a refreshing change of subject. Delightfully outrageous, but I can't keep doing 'em all like this!
Only Baby Boomer himself [and the Statue of Liberty] left to do a 'Subvers-O-toon' on, now----ain't as yet got a clue as to how I'm going to approach that one. It will be covered eventually, though.

I like BB's reaction to the scene.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Niblet----I may do more.
ReplyDeleteB.B.'s eyeline is slightly off [it can happen sometimes if you're not careful]-----his head should be tilted a bit towards the cat-suit hanging up----- but it's enough to get the point accross.
ReplyDeleteI like it though the fridge door should stay shut..I think this strip could work with your normal strip..shame to loose this one..
