Well, here it is – the end of the road.
You might remember I was working on a cartoon about chocolate. It took a few different incarnations, and a lot of great advice from my loyal readers, but I think you’ll agree that the final art turned out nice:

Now to end the mystery; why all the fuss about a chocolate cartoon?! I’ll let the pictures below get us started:


That’s right, my chocolate cartoon is actually a chocolate cartoon!
Each year I try to come up with an out-of-the-ordinary gift for my clients (last year it was Andertoons hot sauce) to thank them for their business. And, although chocolate isn’t necessarily unique, I think having one of my cartoons cut into the bar is pretty neat.
I’m really pleased with the end product! Here’s a few close-ups:


The final product is 9″ x 5″ and eight ounces of Belgian chocolate.
Now the big question – how’s it taste?
Good. Really good.
Anyway, thanks again everyone for your input! I think these are gonna be one of my best year-end gifts yet!

Very cool! Great gift idea. You should try an even more challenging medium next year…cottage cheese?

Mark, I have to buy one of these. Mary loves Hershey bars. I'll just make sure her reading glasses are misplaced and I'll tell her it's one of my cartoons.

I've got more hot sauce, but sadly, all the chocolate bars are spoken for… Except the one I ate almost immediately. Ahem.

Ha! That's brilliant Mark. Way too good to eat – I'd get it framed and hope for a cool summer.

What they said. Fantastic idea. Folks will certainly remember that one. I'm sure it will get you lots of work!

I've gagged on chocolate before, but not like THAT! Very clever, Mark!
