Here’s page 2 of Flapdoodle. The pacing is a little weird. I take a whole page to pretty much deliver one joke. There are only four more pages to come, and they may be a little cramped, what with me using page two for one gag and a little backstory. But you’ll see. Stick around.
The local cartoonist group is the MidSouth Cartoonist Association, begun in 1989 or so. It’s been through a lot of forms over the years- headed up by newspaper cartoonists alternating with comicbook folk, and with seemingly random influxes of just about every kind of cartoonist there is. Good People All.
Anyhow, they being who they are, decided that a comic book is a much better business card than… a business card. So from one of the group’s business cards, here’s the first page of my contribution. It’s six pages, so the next six Off-Hubris days will be your 1/6th dose of Flapdoodle:
When I was just a little cartoonist, drooling over the notion that I could someday be a star, Charles Marshall and I did this thing with Caliber Press-
It had a whole bunch of cartoons about Batch (anyone notice a family resemblance to Hubris?) and ‘The Adventures of Lord Lionel’, which I was also trying to get the syndicates’ attention with. It also had Jim Palmer’s ‘Li’l E’ cartoons- his were the best drawn of the bunch. I’ll post some of Batch later.
