GROSS-GUS:    



------A   PSYCHOTRONIC CARTOON

BELOW ,   I dredge up one of my more off-putting drawings from my REPELLENT Period:  in the mid-late 80s and a bit beyond, some of my cartoons had a definite over-striking ambience to them--if I took a drawing like this along to D C Thomson---who own this character of GRIZZLY GUS----they would have been   rightly appalled and would have equally  quite rightly rejected it outright.

[It was never submitted to them, and this cartoon has languished in my files, unseen, for a quarter of a Century].

Great fun for me to draw, though, if far from commercially sellable.

My artwork had a bit of a reputation as being 'agressive' by a few editors who critiqued my stuff, and this one is a prime example.


My style of drawing is stil a bit aggressive at times, but much of it has toned down a good deal since the late 80s.
