IGOR

Igor Employee Entrepreneur

Don’t mind me.  These two versions of Igor (as employee and entrepreneur) are just some visual concepts of a story that I am thinking of doing.  I think it is now on item number 204 of things I want to get done.

    What a difference a tie makes 🙂

      And some hair gel and a bath

    Igor is lookin’ good in both pics. 204 is pretty far down the list. If it don’t make my top 20 I don’t write it down.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I know but if I said it was in my top 20, then I would have people like George bugging me that I need to flesh it out. And I don’t need that pressure.

    I’m very interested to see how this will turn out. I love both concepts, there’s much you can do with this idea.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      See response to BO..haha

        I didn’t know /eorge was so pushy. He never pushes me to be more productive. I guess he just knows what a slacker I am.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I think he is the slacker (only posting 5 days a week) and is pushing stuff on me.

          1. Jande Avatar

            Like Einstein says “it’s all relative!” Compared to you guys I’m the slacker with only one update a week! But then I don’t get everyone else to do guest comics to give me time off. ;`)

    It reminds me of Krusty the Clown. The murderer is the one on the right! I know it because of the size of his feet.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      But he is number one with the ladies.

      1. Jande Avatar

        I thought that was supposed to be the size of the middle toe…?

  5. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    Hahaha… yup.
    *sigh* This looks about right.
    🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Actually it works labeling things the other way around too.

      1. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

        Hahaha… yup.
        *sigh* That sounds about right, too.

    Looks more like Quasimodo. Igor, or more properly Ygor, was the broken-necked blacksmith played by Bela Lugosi in “Son of Frankenstein” (1939), who has since been forever confused with the hunchback lab assistant Fritz (played by Dwight Frye) in Universal’s first film of the series,”Frankenstein” (1932).

    Sorry…I’m a geeky little fanboy. Bear with me.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I always put both those hunchbacks in the same category. To me any Igor is some mad scientists (or Dr Frankensteins) assistant.

      1. Jande Avatar

        Terry Pratchett agrees with you Bearman. He has a whole series of Igors that make up a specific race(species?)in his Discworld series of books. They service what passes for the other races as “robin-hood style” medics picking up body parts in one place and stitching them on where needed. Hilarious!

        1. Jande Avatar

          Sheesh! I should have said “Sir Terry Pratchett” though he’s not really a Toff.

          1. Bearman Avatar

            I’ll have to look him up. I wasn’t familiar. In that case…IN YOUR FACE AIDAN!! haha

    Are these for workplace motivational posters?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      ONly if you label the first. “How your customers see you” and the second “How you see yourself”

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        This should be a mandatory poster in lots of places. You might market that to big corporations.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I think the motivational poster went out of style in the 90’s

          1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

            Make it digital and start a new trend…wait I am beginning to encourage you. You’ll lump me in with George.

        2. Jande Avatar

          Would make a great T-shirt for consumers to wear into some (ahem..walmart..ahem) shops.

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Are you say I draw for the Walmart crowd?

    What a difference a bath, new suit and a new hairdo makes. Not to mention the attitude.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      And not to mention the eye correction surgery. That was the topper.

  9. alecho Avatar

    This looks like a good comic idea! I’m also on the same boat as you are… I’m already drawing a weekly comic but I keep getting ideas for new ones… not a good sign, eh 😉

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Actually any comic part is totally secondary. I keep getting new ideas too but I forget to write them down.

    This could be one of those “Can you spot 10 differences between these two pictures” exercises. I’m just trying to figure out what you’re saying about the entrepreneur by making his feet so big.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      They like to make you think they are “bigger” than they really are.

    I like the employees duds. There aren’t enough crinkle cut shirts in the world

      Don’t forget the rope belt.

      1. Lynn Avatar

        Yeah he’ll need that rope belt to hang himself with it once he realizes his VP is as dumb as as rock with no leadership skills to speak of! 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          If that were the case we would all be dead.

    Hey man that’s cool. Igore has com a long way from working with Dr. Frankenstein’s lab. Good luck on the story,if you do it.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks JB. But my favorite has always been eyegore.

    I thought it was the Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Hunchback of Notre Dame Business School.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yeah. Aidan already informed me that I dressed him wrong for the part..haha

    I’d hate to see what the unemployed Igor looks like.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Dr Frankenstein.

  17. Ahmnodt Heare Avatar

    This could be a good message to curtail drinking. The Igor on the left is how he really looks. The Igor on the right is how women see him after heavy drinking.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Curtail it? I would encourage men who look like the left to get more women drinking.

  18. Corve Avatar

    Good luck….

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks Corve.

  19. Tony McGurk Avatar

    I think he cut up his smelly old peasant top to make that suit jacket. Does he have a girlfriend or wife or is he a Hunchback with Not-a-dame

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Not-a-dame probably because he has Not-a-dime to his name.

      1. Tony McGurk Avatar

        I had a hunch that it was something like that. The hunch started off as a zit, he was warned about making mountains out of molehills…

          It is sunday…not bad pun Tuesday.

    I hate lists so I rarely write down things I plan on doing. If you don’t write it down then the idea will give you a deja vu experience later.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      And then you will think you are a genius for coming up with it.

  21. bluntdelivery Avatar

    you don’t even want to know how many projects are in my head at any given time.

    it’s the curse of the creative.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I want my own little army just to do all my work of what is in my head. The real frustrating ones are the type that I couldn’t do even if I devoted time to it due to lack of skill.

  22. Rent Textbooks Avatar

    It would be funny if they were roommates or twins.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That would be a funny thing. Odd Couple with Hunchbacks.

    I write things down and then promptly lose them, unless I write them down in a notebook and then promptly forget which one I wrote them in, or unless I put them in a note file in the computer which has a 1 in one million chance of me ever finding the file again.

    Good thing you drew a picture of it. This looks like it could be an intriguing series of cartoons, so add me to list with George and Bo. –and don’t lose it! ;`)

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I’m with you. I have to start writing stuff down or I forget so quickly.

      1. Tony McGurk Avatar

        I have a list of cartoon ideas in my phone so I remember them. I often have ideas during the day & if I forget to add them to the list down then later I get annoyed because I’ve forgotten another good cartoon idea.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          That is probably a good idea. Now if I could learn how to type on this damn phone.

    Omg, and you still have time to draw and post this awesome toons on your blog! Congrats buddy.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks. I’ll try to whittle it down to number 105 some day.

  26. Enkätverktyg Avatar

    That’s really a good difference on this cartoon.I am totally agree.

    Before and after! Or after and before!

    Reminds me of a silent film entitled “The Crowd”–in which a well-to-do man laughs at a poor man in a silly suit advertising for his employer, then finds himself in the same situation for a time.

    Also reminds me of Bob Dylan’s lyrics: “You used to be so amused at Napoleon-in-Rags and the language that he used. Go on he calls you now, you can’t refuse. When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.”

    In other words, “Igor” is perhaps the same man, at different stages of his life.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Just read up on The Crowd. That is a movie I would love to see. Interesting they say it wasn’t a critical success yet it was nominated for an academy award.

      1. Scott Avatar

        That’s because critics don’t know shit! I have no respect for critics–they don’t do any art themselves, yet they criticize the art of others! What hypocrites!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Thanks to the world wide web, we can all be experts and critics.
