Garfield

My daughter Abby has developed an appreciation for the comic strip Garfield much as I did at her age.

Happy Halloween!

Continuing my series of Harvey characters here's Casper the friendly ghost, Wendy the good little witch, and Spooky the tuff little ghost.

Happy Halloween! (and try not to eat too much candy tomorrow)

TGIF

My daughter Abby loves comics just like I do and she loved reading some old Hagar the Horrible books I found in the basement. I drew this picture to show Hagar summing up the end of the work week.

Super Friends

My daughter Abby has been bit by the comic book bug. (thanks in part to seeing my comic collection in the basement) One of the comics she's been buying is Super Friends based on the Mattel superhero toys. I thought I'd try my hand at super hero drawing and here's what I came up with based on an image from one of the comics. (note - no Wonder Twins....thank God)

This was a black marker on white paper image that I used photo shop to color. As an experiment I will also post the same image colored with markers.

Update: The second image is colored with markers.

Spider-Ham

My daughter Abby is a huge Spider-Man fan. She's been Spider-Man for the last four halloweens. (though she did alter the pattern slightly last year when she was black Spider-Man instead of traditional red&blue Spidey) After pulling the box of costumes out of the basement last weekend, it looks like she's going to be the black Spider-Man again this year. As my wife likes to say, "She is definitely your daughter."

Somehow that got me thinking about how back in the 80's (yes, I'm old) Marvel released a parody of Spider-Man called Spider-Ham. It was a short lived comic book series with animal versions of various Marvel heroes and villains. (Deer-Devil, Captain Americat, Ducktor Doom)

Black and White Drawings Part II - Garfield

Calvin & Hobbes Comic

It took me a week but I finally found the 'Calvin & Hobbes' comic I mentioned in a previous post.

Calvin

I believe this was from the 'Calvin and Hobbes' strip where Calvin's parents have to pick a school photo from many bad poses.

I think I may have drawn the whole comic strip at some point. Hmmmm.....I'll have to see if I can find that....

Comic Strip Doodle

I remember doing these doodles during an especially rough day in college. If I do my research I could figure out exactly when I did this as all the images came from a specific day's comic strips.
