Remember that fan art I did for Don Ahé a week back? Well, I found this fantastic thing of beauty in my mailbox just a few days later! Go read Don’s great comic, Road Apples Almanac!
Recently I contributed to this piece that a bunch of us cartoonists made as a sendoff to Tom Dell’Aringa’s fantastic comic Marooned, which will be winding up in the next few months.
My contribution was the little pink Martian girl, Ril. Click on the pic above to go to Tom’s site and see a great big version in all it’s glory, featuring Denver Brubaker, Eddie Pittman, Eric Orchard, Jeff Couturier, Wouter F. Goedkoop, Steve Ogden, and Vince Dorse!
I got reacquainted with the comic Road Apples Almanac by Don Ahé a few weeks back. Both he and I did guest strips for Christopher Baldwin’s Spacetrawler. Chris likened Road Apples to one of my favorite old timey comic strips, Krazy Kat. I couldn’t agree more. It has a certain timeless quality, taking place in the present, and yet it feels old and wise.
I also did a little bit of fan art for Don. Click the pic below to see the whole thing at the Road Apples Almanac website.
Good friend of Ellie, Jay Fosgitt, has a new comic coming out called Bodie Troll. It’s the story of the world’s cutest troll and how all he wants is to be scary (which he’s not). You can read up on Jay’s progress at his blog and find out how you can order the first issue!
And . . . AND . . . did I mention that Jay asked me to do a pin up for his first issue? No? Well he did! Here’s a little sneak peek! Now go!
Yesterday I sat in for Christopher Baldwin on his strip Spacetrawler. And today, here’s a page from my sketchbook featuring Nogg, Mr. Zorilla, and his car.
