"Tis The Season To Be Jolly..."




And of course, Christmas is also the time for self-doubt, guilt and some good old fashioned Angst...

But that isn't a reason not to draw rude cartoons...


Ain't It True.../Nerds Lost in Space...



Sketchbook drawings. The one below was going to be in colour too. But I didn't think it was "working". I posted it as below on Facebook and people preferred it to the other stuff that I posted at the time. You just can't tell..!

What's She Sayin'..?


We don't know! But, I bet she's wondering why you all are hanging around here when you could visit my Steve Gibson Cartoonist / Writer page over on Facebook and see a HUGE Gallery of this kind of stuff!!!

"ZONGO!"



Every now & again I look at Bode's colour strips (eg, Deadbone, the Cheech Wizard's from Nat Lampoon & Purple Pictography) and I try to design a bunch of characters with that sort of approach in mind...




"Flash in the Pan"



A couple of years ago I roughed out the blue pencil rough, as posted below, on "Blue line A4 Manga paper".

I wasn't pleased with the lettering, so I "shelved" it & found it the other day when looking for something to ink. I laid a sheet of tracing paper over the rough & re-lettered with Uni-Pin fine line markers & inked over the blue pencil lines with a Dalon brush & black W&N ink. I used grey Letraset Pro-Markers on the back like an old animation cell for the tones.

And, I always liked Flash Gordon. The Buster Crabbe serials were shown at a local cinema when I was a kid. But it's the Kurtzman/Wood MAD parody that infuses the approach to this comic page...

"The Lurkin' Stiffs"



Online comic strip from 2010 that was abandoned when the website was shut down. This version coloured for the Blog post, here...

Greyscale scan below as I'm unsure which I like best...

The Original Sinners...

   


 You will all know by now that the Filthy Moods Historian Society for Hysterical So 'n' So's doesn't cut corners when it comes to digging up the truth about really important stuff...
