Ellie In Space!
Today’s strip is courtesy of Paul Fricke, the mastermind behind Blue Moon Toons! I asked if he could round up a newspaper strip from the 1970s featuring Ellie as she began her trip to Planet X. Who would know what kind of adventures she would have on her long journey?
Paul’s current project is Mr. Drawing Board Belly, a fun look at the world of an old timey comic book artist. It’s colored to look like the Ellie strip above, mimicking the look of those 70s comics. He’s got plenty of other comics to see on his site. Please check them out too!
Awesome guest comic, Paul! You are a master at this vintage old timey stuff!
Looks So cool Paul!
Yea Paul, this looks great. So cool!
Amazing stuff, Paul!
[drool]……………….
This SO reminds me of Spaceman Spiff!
Thanks, all!
You called it, Russell. Tho going for circa ’72, some Spiff influence slipped in. I couldn’t help it!
That is so totally unfair! That’s not how it happened at all! Grrrrr!
Excellent, I love the old style newspaper comic strip look.
Man oh man, Paul! I set today aside to read through Jim’s archives (about time) but I can’t stop looking at this page. Amazing work! Now to go back to page 1 and start this adventure properly. -v
I just hope my archives can come close to the awesomeness that is Paul.
Thanks, everyone, for the comments. Yep, Paul, you really outdid my expectations with this. Days later and I still can’t stop staring at it!
