@#$! Benedict Cumberbatch!

I thought I had already posted this..It's one of the first things I did after restarting comix this year.  I know I tweeted it around the time the last Sherlock came out, but this is the first time it's in color.

"Benedict Cumberbatch" sounds vaguely like an obscenity to my ears.  That is the only joke! Aside from the 'Shaft' hommage, of course.

I thought the latest Sherlock was a bit too clever for its own good.  I have at least one more 'toon that needs to colored and re-upped!

Friday Comic Strip Dump!

Some recent objets d'art that haven't previously made it to the blog.

Old crow-quill sketch that I didn't even remember doing!  I like the dashy-scratchy line.

Inspired by the recent finale of 'How I Met Your Mother,' which I was vaguely aware of and thought was still kind of a new show.

Is there anything that can't be made funny but putting a butt in it?  I work slow, made a point of doing this quick.

I have more ideas, and need to draw more cartoons.

Existential Comics

Another old one cleaned up and recolored.  This was definitely in the queue, but I moved it up when I saw the outstanding "The Germans Play Monopoly" comic by @ExistentialComics.

I had fun working on this, but it's easy to spend too much time tinkering at the computer, rather than drawing.

Like most people who want to do comics, I idolized Schulz as a kid.  But I also think I sometimes over-identified with Charlie Brown, and that's what 'Blockhead' is about.

Concentration

Another old picture.  An ink exercise that turned into a color exercise.

I was completely absorbed in this, and so called it Concentration.  By the end I was having strong emotional reactions to these colors; the story of the picture ended up being the gradual defeat of the green!  I'd like to try it with different color palettes.
