Sounds like the Marvel Universe or something, where everybody's somebody's cousin.<BR/><BR/>Jeez, that typo's been there forever, thanks. Lettering isn't writing, but you should be able to read it at least. Actually, that's one I redrew for the book as I'd given away the original, so it only goes back 4 years, but still. And thanks, dh!<BR/><BR/>Timm, I color all the illustration work pretty simply, just draw it in waterproof in on watercolor paper, soak & stretch it on a board, then color it with watercolor & gouache. For the syndicated Sundays I use a color by number grid that I'm still figuring out. Photoshop some day...<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Josh, the bad guys are more fun. A friend of mine invented one called Fruitcake. HIs powers weren't fully determined, but he'd always show up even though you didn't like him and there was no getting rid of him.richardcthompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176282831210054050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-64354520246900846992008-04-02T16:58:00.000-07:002008-04-02T16:58:00.000-07:00I dunno ...

I'd say Captain Rolemodel is a pretty darn good superhero parody.<BR/><BR/>I mean, it might not work as an ongoing series like The Tick or anything, but still ...<BR/><BR/>Although I'd love to see something featuring the Sullen Creep.JoshMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000055082864354980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-83537398420537113022008-04-02T11:14:00.000-07:002008-04-02T11:14:00.000-07:00Technical question.

It's missing a "t."<BR/><BR/>Sorry, my English-teacher mother rings in my brain whenever I read stuff.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I can't think of any other contemporary cartoonist with such great drawings as you have, Richard! Thanks for bucking the trend of boring syndicated strips!DH.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09917441028471124587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-74556460303871843532008-04-02T04:12:00.000-07:002008-04-02T04:12:00.000-07:00Stephen King went a little bit weird when he decid...Stephen King went a little bit weird when he decided that everything he'd written was part of some great overweening whole.<BR/><BR/>I'd be a little frightened if that happened to you.dagbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10388672781361191168noreply@blogger.com
