ReplyDeleteI only get the first two jokes! but these are damn good pictures!
ReplyDeleteHi Will...more to come! Thanks for chiming in ^_^
ReplyDeleteNiki -- these drawings originally ran alongside the text in the book, and they weren't eant to be viewed out of context, so the gags aren't always clear. I just dig the drawings!
Here, here! Noir figures, booze, guns! Those are Mullins drawings I NEED to see. Great posts recently, Sherm! Keepin me educated even tho I'm out of the studios temporarily
ReplyDeleteHi Chris...I'll get those noir-ish Willard Mullin drawings up soon, OK? So keep the faith! Might as well use the time off work to make more of your own cartoons! Email me if you wanna have lunch sometime.
