"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...

My Hidden Shallows...
"When the Truth is found to be lies/And all the Joy within you dies..." Who said that? Was it Grace Slick at Woodstock, or Jim Carrey in Cable Guy?
Anyway, here's another Sketchbook Cartoon drawn today...
