Badd Eggs [8]

FURTHER PROOF---if it were ever needed---that just ONE simple theme can instigate seemingly endless thematic imagery in the cartoonists' arsenal: yes, even  the humble EGG can provide a wide range of comic potential, ranging from subtle pantomime to more overtly 'shock' imagery like this baby seen here.


I have to tread carefully doing a sketch like this: my BOOMER cast of characters are intended to be kept 'commercial' and so I can't have them gloating or looking devious at the plight of the unfortunate egg-being depicted below:   I have BB and JB looking somewhat bewildered at the bleak scenario they have just discovered........maybe a 'lesser' artist would have had them reveling in the carnage.


Anyway, a pretty bleak drawing...but typical of  the power us mere cartoonists can  sometimes wield----visually---if we so desire.*




The egg character is based on no-one of any note or repute

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
