Comcs Improved, Maybe

This is for Mike & the guys. It's from a few years ago and started out as Roz Chast draws Blondie, then grew from there.

OMG! "Roz Chast Draws Blondie" is a GREAT idea. But, yeah, Booth drawing Blondie or Sam Gross drawing Blondie would be wonderful. Thanks for this. I also think that your Charlie Brown joke is too danged true.

Thanks again. This made my weekend!!!

Oh my GOD! That's fantastic! Hoo-hoo! Thanks for posting this!

Oh yeah, I remember this one. Man, I love these comics sendups.

I'd pay to see Chast's Blondie, even if the curves that RC Harvey notes disappeard.

Ha! That Mark Trail gag is going to have me laughing for days.

Thanks, it was fun to draw, and Dagwood's hair lent itself to Chastising (har!). Have you ever tried drawing like George Booth? Jeez, even his furniture makes me laugh. And you never look at a dog the same way after seeing a Booth dog. They're just demented, every one of 'em.

I never realized that you and "Prickly City" have a similar, sketchy art style. I'll have to show this to Stantis.

Funny comic as usual, Richard.

Thanks, Charles. Yeah, the scratchier the better I think, right up to Koren and beyond.

I'd like to see a Koren version of Apartment 3-G.
