[French] Fancy That

I AM SOMETIMES ACCUSED OF BEING 'mildly racist' after I declared I will never put depictions of overseas people into my cartoons: but really, this is just a typical kneejerk reaction from hotheaded cynics who take a lot of statements the wrong way, on belly-aching forums where some members have nothing better to do with their time other than try and bring others down.


IT IS TRUE that I am openly anti-Political Correctness, I believe that PC started off well-meaning, but it has created a situation where EXTREME  anti-PC lobbyists like Donald Trump are in the running to rule over a powerful modern State: I will leave you to make up your own particular deductions from such a scenario.


Anyway, I do in fact mix with overseas folks and treat them just the same as I do the Brits: in fact here is a cartoon I just done for a fellow artist: no prizes for guessing which nation she originates from:

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
