Tom Foolery

Sep24

Carlo Bertocchini and I sent some packages to the syndicates. It was a panel feature called ‘Tom Foolery’, which is a great name. The gags were okay, too- the same kind of magazine-cartoon-turned-newpaper-feature that proliferated for a while. Carlo, whom I met because of The Buckets doing a couple of weeks of BattleBot cartoons, was more dedicated to the project than I was- maybe because I was swamped with advertising cartoon jobs and getting a handle on The Buckets daily schedule. Anyhow, the syndicates never gave us much encouragement, and this was all before I was ready to try a webcomic. Anyhow, here’s some samples of the ol’ Tom Foolery:

For a few years now, Jay Schiller and I have been doing a twice-weekly cartoon for the college newspaper arm of McClatchy-Tribune Syndicate. Here’s some:

Way back in 2002, I got to do this illustration for Dagger Kayaks. They had a deal going with Subaru, and every year would put some kind of entertaining graphic on a spiffy new car. This was one for 2003, I guess. I was at the Ocoee river a bunch that year, and expected to see it on the hood of a Subaru, but never saw it in person. If you saw it, let me know.

Giving Good Guest

Once upon a time, I answered the call for guest strips, and this happened:

That was fun! At the time, there was no Hubriscomics to link to. It was just fun to do a strip with someone else’s characters.

And once, Scott Stantis, from whom I took over work on The Buckets (http://www.gocomics.com/thebuckets) injured himself and couldn’t draw his Prickly City. I was one of those who helped out.

Alas, back then there was also not any Hubris to link to. But here’s Prickly City’s link http://www.gocomics.com/pricklycity

But then at the beginning of THIS very month as is, I did this, and Danielle Corsetto’s fine fans are STILL coming to look at Hubris! Hi, guys! Welcome to Hubris and THANK YOU for being here!

I have been known to draw some expressive faces here and there. Because of that, a syndicate editor put me in touch with Matt Tolbert. Matt, and more specifically, his 14 year old twin sons, were writing a comic strip. The strip involved (surprise) a bachelor and his twin sons. Surprise again, it was called “Bachelor & Sons”. One of the selling points was that the strip was to be written by the twins themselves, with Matt playing editor to keep things on a pro level. One twin is sportish, the other bookish. You get the idea. The syndicates didn’t run with it, but a great many of them aren’t in business any more. Too bad. B & S might have saved them. Here’s a Sunday we did:

This is the March 1999 cartoon I did for The Bench Jeweler, a trade newspaper published by a large jewelry wholesaler (Fargotstein’s & Sons- Great people). I don’t remember how often I did these cartoons. It may have been monthly, bi-monthly or even quarterly or even all three, depending on the year. but I started doing them before I had a computer in the studio and they ended in, I think, 2000. I still very occasionally have someone track me down to ask if there was ever a book or anything. I doubt there were ever enough cartoons to do a whole book- maybe fifty exist. Because they were done so infrequently and over such a long period and drawn at different sizes, the art style changes a bit. I may try to dig up one of the earlier originals (they were done on 22 inch bristol paper) and scan one in to color and include here one day. That’d be cool. This one was drawn, scanned, and turned into vector art for coloring:

I mentioned before that YEARS ago, I drew a comic panel called ‘The Adventures Of Lord Lionel’. The syndicates weren’t interested, as I’m sure it seemed to them to be a one-trick pony. This is the web, though, where you can trot out a pony and see who likes its looks. So, from a twenty-odd year old comic book, here’s Lord Lionel for you.

If you like the concept, there’s another cartoonist who’s breathing life into a similar theme now (Were we all so very influenced by Hope & Crosby road movies, New Yorker cartoons and Gary Larson cartoons? I guess so.) But go check out http://www.mysterysolvedcomic.com/ by Zack Kruse and friends. The English Noble Explorer goes on and on!

A friend of mine (who has won TWO pulitzer prizes- I’m so proud.) saw the original Hubris packages back when it was called ‘Because It’s There’, and put me in touch with an editor at the L.A. Times. Said editor was trying out the idea of an outdoor-lifestyle cartoon in his section of the paper. It didn’t pan out, but I submitted some cartoons I still kinda like. Here’s one:
I liked this one because the color was all swiped from scans and random photography. I like the feel it gives. The cotton ticking hospital gown, for instance, was scanned from a couch cushion. Fun.
