Two Suspicious Characters

Deacon Mushrat meets Sam the American Eagle. If any of you remember my earlier post based on the connections between the Muppets and Pogo, here's another take on it.

Pogo Meets Kermit

Two classic favorites of mine finally get together. And I damn well know my artwork is nowhere NEAR the league of master cartoonist Walt Kelly. Kelly was unrivaled when it came to the inkbrush.

For Art's Sake: Acknowledging the Master

Old strips. Had to make a reference to Walt Kelly now and then. We could sure use him today. The bottom strip is a total lift of a classic Kelly gag.

Happy 100th Birthday Walt Kelly!

 Today would have been the 100th birthday of one of the greatest cartoonists of all time.. WALT KELLY! The art below was actually drawn several years back for CBG, but to my memory, never used. I only apologize that the art isn't up to Kelly standard, but then again, NO ONE could draw like Kelly. He was the unmatched master of the inkbrush. And considering the political climate of the world today, if he were still alive and drawing, he would have had a field day! (present comic strip sizes nonwithstanding)
