Martian Love Machine II

Good evening, Howdy, and What the Fuck? Yes, we live in confusing times. Even language ain't what it used to mean...

Huh? You know... Like investigation means "We examined ourselves and we are innocent", sleaze means "We're corrupt, but sleaze sounds funnier", recession means "There's not enough money for us to steal at the moment", and Prime Minister means "Dishonest Cunt".

Of course, all of this obvious blather is attempting to add a bit of gravitas (means "More money for the original art") to this crude yet jolly cartoon where a world exists in which Love means "War" and vice versa, plus it thinly disguises another sloppy Wally Wood (means "Cartoon Genius") knock off.

Plus, more Sketchbook drawing if you scroll downwards! Thank you for dropping by...

More!!! New Sketchy Book Stuff!!!

Good evening. Pour a drink, loosen your pants, sniff, smoke and brace yourselves! It's...

Another batch of crude and poorly conceived sketches mostly scrawled 2nd & 3rd Feb 2013...

I can't argue with this...

...Just to keep it "real"...

...Don't forget to be nice to each other!

...!

Just another "pastoral" study. Nothin' else goin' on...

If I pencilled these things first, the figure wouldn't look so crap...

I wish I knew what this was. I started off drawing a Pope. You may have to figure this out...

Yeah, yeah... divert 'em with a fart joke. In colour... Yeah...

I love Junko Mizuno's stuff. Dunno what the duck & the other things here are? Oh, my wandering brain!

Anyway, back to normal: Vampire! (He was fighting a Zombie, but it looked shit, so I "trimmed" it...

...And, finally, for now, a character sketch...

That's it! Stay tuned for more inky stuff next time... Thanks for calling round!

Cobalt 60 - Comics Forum Magazine No 25

This was published to accompany a letter from me about the previous issue's article about the late great Vaughn Bode. I always loved Bode's iconic Witzend cover that he did for Wally Wood (Another favourite!) in the '60's. I don't think the Forum writer was that thrilled with my version though, despite describing it as "vitriolic yet delightful"...
