THE SIMPSONS NEWS

It’s not looking good for our crew so far.  We’re very far behind on our work.  Looks like I’m really going to have to go into focus mode if I  even stand a chance at finishing all I need to do this week.  I’m probably going to be working over time. I guess that’s okay, I need the money.

COMIC BOOKS

I really felt like drawing something different in a different style this week.  The Disneyland strip story will return next week. In the mean time, I have other news.

My friend Raul has just self published a comic book.  I was fortunate enough to read it and I thought it was great.  It’s really entertaining and it cracked me up.  I few years ago I was looking around for funny comic books.  I wanted to know what one looked like, (that wasn’t a Simpsons comics). I asked the guy at the counter if he knew of any.   I asked him if he knew one that actually could make you laugh at loud. He showed me the one he liked.  I bought it.

It wasn’t funny.

I was looking for a funny book because, at the time, I was thinking of writing a funny comic short story. Well, I wish Raul‘s comic had been around when I was looking for a comic because his made me laugh out loud. It comes across as a “serious” comic and it is in a way, but it has so many jokes and fun banter between the characters that you can’t help but laugh.  Fun stuff.  I highly recommend it.

I liked it so much, it inspired me to draw some fan art for it.  So this is my drawing for the week:

WEBSITES

Does the drawing below look familiar?

It should, I drew it for this very blog when I reviewed  Paul Nowak‘s book The Inconvenient Adventures of Uncle Chestnut.  Paul liked the drawing so much, he asked if he could use it on a t-shirt.  I said, “yes,” and, “Ta da!” here it is.   I own one already that Paul was good enough to send me and I LOVE IT.  IT’S SUPER COOL! Impress your friends kids. Buy one today! If you do, I’ll get a little something as well.  Yay!
