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.
I’ve been a fan of Christopher Baldwin’s comics for a long time, first reading his strip Bruno years ago. Then I followed him as he moved on to the charming Little Dee. And now Christopher takes on sci fi and makes it his own thing with Spacetrawler, the funniest thing in space since The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy!
I was lucky enough to get to sit in for Christopher as he takes the week off, so go take a look at my interpretation of some of his characters and then head into his huuuge archive and get caught up. It looks like Spacetrawler‘s about to reach the climax in the series, so now’s a good time to jump on board!
