I’m here in Chicago for a day, so when visiting Tom Dell’Aringa’s backyard it seems like the right thing to do is post a little sketch of his Marooned characters. And here you go!

Just some more doodles from the sketchbook. Here we have Opus the Penguin, Faith Erin Hicks’ Superhero Girl, and a Parasaurolophus colored like a Canada Goose. Enjoy!
My good friend John Nagridge requested a Jawa to add to this week’s unintentional Star Wars themed blog posts. So here’s one now, sans hoodie.
The story goes that way back in the day, a young Professor Strang read J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and was enthralled. That book inspired him to lead an adventurous life of his own, eventually culminating in the discovery of Planet X. He then sent Ellie on her own great adventure and the rest is history.
Pretty much everyone here at Mission Control is a big hobbit geek, and we’re all looking forward to the movie coming up next year. Here’s a little watercolor of Smaug the dragon from my sketchbook!
I’m not a big superhero fan, but I loves me my Spiderman. He occasionally makes an appearance in my sketchbook too as he’s just fun to draw. I like making him a skinny kid that’s just all arms and legs.
I also include here a sketch of the unsung hero of the Marvel Universe, J. Jonah Jameson. I wonder how he’s going to handle editing a newspaper in a dying industry (although I understand he’s mayor of NY or something now? I don’t read the comics, so I have no idea).
Oh, and there’s a Thor at the bottom too. Enjoy!
Lookie here kids: it’s the notes and scribbles that led up to yesterday’s installment of Ellie On Planet X. I hafta hand it to my niece who pointed out that Planet X probably has something like a Venus Flytrap amongst its varied fauna.
