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

I HAVE DECIDED TO RE-USE one of my earlier ideas, originally written for THE FLY concept-------I wrote the sodding idea, so I can use it here if I desire, that's the beauty of creating everything on your own, from scratch! Here though, it is adapted into the 'daily strip' BOOMER format, stretching the idea over three frames, allowing for more 'personality' play. [ allegedly]  REGARDING THE FLY: ----Although I have turned out little finished cartoonery on the FLY theme of late, I sure have not lost confidence or interest in it...however, I am not convinced there would not be copyright claims from 2OTH CENTURY-FOX who own the rights to the FLY films, which obviously inspire the cartoons I put forward of this creation. It takes a lot of time working on an entire concept, and so  perhaps in order to avoid spending a lot of time on material which might get blocked by a big film studio on copyright grounds,  I need to  alter the mix and add another new character to the FL...

AN ICE-CREAM-themed outing for the characters, part two  on this one.coming up fairly soon. So far, so good........ PLATE TWO:    ----an improved composite with a more accomplished-looking new cows' head, and also B.B. himself has been shrunken down into a more 'credible'-looking scale. This approach most certainly yields more glossy/better-looking results, however the bad news is that all the computer malarkey takes a lot longer to assemble. The proof of the pudding in these ones will be when I see the finished , assembled strips------more of these on the way, about two dozen of deze sukkaz.

AROUND 20  of these character sheets were roughed in by me a few weeks ago [in May 2016] over a couple of days, and  looking back through them with a fresh eye, they all look good enough to render in properly. This one also needs a couple of word balloons, which will be added to the mix later. The shark character is just an incidental diversion for a one-off appearence. A good few more of these on the ways, including the finished versions of all strips. Most of these are all-new ideas not seen in the original 600 plus strips. RAB

MANY OF THE UPCOMING CARTOON STUFF will be  made up of composite- material intended for finished, polished strips: the main difference in this new stuff is that they are no longer assembled as 'real-sized' strips like we done in the analog days...........these new strips are being put together as from seperate elements. Here's the bulk of a darts-themed outing, which will not make proper sense until I add a word or two. near the bottom you can see how I abandoned a comic face in favor of a 'better' version, seen top right. The finished item of this one later. Robbo
