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.
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.
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.
I think he is the slacker (only posting 5 days a week) and is pushing stuff on me.
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. ;`)
All you need to do is ask.
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.
But he is number one with the ladies.
I thought that was supposed to be the size of the middle toe…?
Hahaha… yup.
*sigh* This looks about right.
🙂
Actually it works labeling things the other way around too.
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.
I always put both those hunchbacks in the same category. To me any Igor is some mad scientists (or Dr Frankensteins) assistant.
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!
Sheesh! I should have said “Sir Terry Pratchett” though he’s not really a Toff.
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?
ONly if you label the first. “How your customers see you” and the second “How you see yourself”
This should be a mandatory poster in lots of places. You might market that to big corporations.
I think the motivational poster went out of style in the 90’s
Make it digital and start a new trend…wait I am beginning to encourage you. You’ll lump me in with George.
Would make a great T-shirt for consumers to wear into some (ahem..walmart..ahem) shops.
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. 🙂
And not to mention the eye correction surgery. That was the topper.
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 😉
Actually any comic part is totally secondary. I keep getting new ideas too but I forget to write them down.
Ha! Outrageous!
Thanks MJ
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.
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.
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! 🙂
If that were the case we would all be dead.
Cool, I’ve found all 10 differences
You win a prize. Free Beartoons archives. Go get em
WOW, thanks!
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.
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.
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.
Dr Frankenstein.
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.
Curtail it? I would encourage men who look like the left to get more women drinking.
Good luck….
Thanks Corve.
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
Not-a-dame probably because he has Not-a-dime to his name.
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.
And then you will think you are a genius for coming up with it.
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.
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.
It would be funny if they were roommates or twins.
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! ;`)
I’m with you. I have to start writing stuff down or I forget so quickly.
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.
That is probably a good idea. Now if I could learn how to type on this damn phone.
My favorite Igor is Igor Lirionov.
Yep.
You are the only one who would know Russian Hockey stars.
“I think it is now on item number 204 of things I want to get done.”
Omg, and you still have time to draw and post this awesome toons on your blog! Congrats buddy.
Thanks. I’ll try to whittle it down to number 105 some day.
That’s really a good difference on this cartoon.I am totally agree.
thanks E.
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.
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.
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!
Thanks to the world wide web, we can all be experts and critics.
Wow!that’s a lovely collection with good reviews.
