“Yes, yes that’s right…we’re just fans, waiting to get autographs.”
The Idea.
The musical Cats has been around forever, but I did this early cartoon when it was still exciting. ;)
I’ve gone to plays since I was little. As soon as my flock of girlfriends was old enough to persuade our parents we were old enough, we used to take the train to center city, or even NYC on occasion, to see whatever play had matinee shows.
I went to an all girls high school, so we were even more boy crazy than most teens, and to read about actors and then go see them in person was heaven. We were brave, too, because nothing is more driven than a gaggle of intense, smart, yearning young girls. So we would hang around backstage and back doors to get autographs, chat for a moment with the actors if we were lucky, and keep our eyes on our watches to get the train back to the suburbs on time.
I have this weird thing, where, when I color a cartoon, I often decide that there aren’t enough colors. Not that there aren’t enough colors in my paintbox or on…
Heads up, and it’s on sale right now at Gelson’s! I warn you, this is still very pricey, at an outrageous $4.99 a pint! Normal people shouldn’t have to pay…
At least in the LA Times. Hello, Dilbert, my old friend. I know papers are trying to save money. The LA Times is laying off 150 more reporters this month.…
I just changed this cartoon to a thumbnail because I found 2 sites that have stolen the cartoon recently. This means I have to send takedown DMCA notices to their servers. Be very afraid: I pursue all use of my cartoons unless you have my express permission.
The Idea
This is from my Morbid & Sex file. (Yes, what does it say about me that I think these subjects are connected…and that this is my favorite file?) They’re not always easy to sell. But so necessary to do.
This seems like an obvious idea: diets are a life or death issue for women, and there is always the big question: which one is most effective to lose weight?? And there’s that whole annoying mystery about it, as doctors continually change their minds on what and why or why not something will help with weight loss.
I myself like exercising better, because I just hate denying myself food to eat. I tried not to make the exercise guy show my bias, but I do have a weakness for blonds…and notice that he is a smidgen taller than the other guy!
I like the power a gun could give me. I guess I like guns. I’ve only held one once, when I dated an ex-Mafia guy; it felt and smelled like an expensive, non-digital, high-end Nikon. Yum.
The Drawing
I think weight loss is more of a woman’s obsession, but you can’t have two women shooting at each other. Maybe in vid games, or Latino gang fights, but not in cartoons. So these two fellows volunteered to be my characters.
I decided against a watching crowd, even though most duels seem to have them. I don’t always succeed, but I like fewer lines: clear, balanced, and in your face. Note that the men are moving in opposite directions to the cocked, deadly black guns. This shootout will not be pretty.
Well, I just lost it. Yay me. So here’s another. Let me introduce you to Partyman. He’s a complex guy; the lampshade on his head is Victorian, suspiciously like the…
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. And let’s keep our fingers crossed. I hacked this theme (blog layout, etc) like a hungry serial killer. The writing was a…
