I'm sure every cartoonist has one main person they test their cartoons out on. For me it is my lovely daughter Esme who is 16 today. Happy Birthday Esme All my love Dad XXX
I have a teenage daughter. She MUST go to every party or the world will end. Telling her that she was going to have to miss a party recently she stormed off in a screaming temper, stomped upstairs to her room... and gave me this idea.
I feel a terrible traitor here. I'm a big Rugby fan and shouldn't be drawing an American Football! Especially as England are in the World Cup Final this weekend.
Come on England!
Another great sale: The Detroit News. Daily and Sunday.
Ollie and Quentin kick a football into Evil Mrs.Cadaver's backyard. At one point I wanted to write some jokes from the ball's perspective which I really liked. However King Features would prefer not to include them just yet as neither of my main characters appear in them. I can see their argument but it's a shame for them not to see the light of day so here they are in rough pencil form.
As promised, this will be the introduction to the Evil Mrs.Cadaver who lives next door. She is nasty but isn't really a werewolf or a vampire or a zombie. This is the persona Ollie and Quentin will create for her.
Great news, The Denver Post will be running my strip.
Meet Rex, Quentin's Bodyguard. He's a Venus Fly Trap and acts as Quentin's guard dog. The plant equivalent of a Rottweiler he is stupid and aggressive with absolutely no sense of humor.
