As promised, the winner of my Facebook fan challenge was Duncan of Madhatters. Here is the finished piece and here is Duncan in his original glory.
Hope you enjoy it. Dunc, I’ll have a print out to you later this week. If there is enough interest, maybe I’ll repeat the contest in the next couple months.
Added several new blogs to the links page in the past several weeks so thought I would make people aware.
Nate, who has more cartoon sites than Tony has changed his mind between wordpress and blogger, is at it again with a new cartoon on Go Comics Called Break of Day
____________
Gruff Guano is a recent addition to the madness here. Click the link to check out his blog.
____________
Duncan and Nobbly have been too lazy to send me a banner ad so I made one based on their header.
____________
A Graphic Novel from Jande, E-orbits, Eccentric Orbits, J.A. Rowe or whatever the heck he/she is going by today.
____________
And finally Gatoons. Since half my readership is from Australia, you will be happy to know that he is a fellow contrymen.
I know there are some of you who I am still waiting on 125×125 banner ads of your site. If you are a regular reader (or just passed by on the way to the bathroom) and want to get on the links page, just let me know.
Many of my cartoonist friends brag when their cartoon character ends up with a guest appearance in another artist’s cartoon. Well I don’t have characters (besides I could never draw the same one twice if I tried).
Then I realized that I am a character. And much like David Hasselhoff, my appeal is stronger overseas than in America. It became clearer when I got an email from DuncanR of UK who posts frequently at the Madhatters that he has immortalized me in a short story. In fact many of the regular posters of Madhatters are in it. Go read it here.
Now I don’t appear until page two but this is how I am introduced:
At this point, a big fellow, by the name of Bearman – braver or more foolish than most – spoke up.
‘Call yourselves men. You’se are just a bunch of Jessies. There’s no such thing as ghosts. Once you’re dead, you’re dead. And that’s that! It’s only imagination, or drink, that makes you see ghosts’
‘If you’re so hard’, said a voice from the crowd. ‘Why don’t you go into the Wailing Wood and bring us back the cap from that cattle thief we hanged today?’
‘Bugger the cap’, said Bearman. ‘I’ll bring back the firkin head!’ So saying, he pulled on a big pair of boots, tucked a bottle (to keep out the cold) into his pocket and strode from the castle.
“Braver or more foolish” would tend to be how many would describe me. Now I admit while I knew what bugger was, I had to pull out my English to English dictionary to figure out what a Jessie is.
So go check it out now so you can say you were one of the first as soon my popularity will increase to the point that they will be making movies about me.
