Here's another old cartoon of mine from my high school paper, The Lance.
Today's is from December 16, 1987. Here's a bit of the page it was on:
And here's the cartoon close up (well, not really):
There's a lot I like about this one. It runs the width of the page, that black background is eye catching, it reads well left to right, and it's another attempt at a wordless gag. Not a great gag, but good for high school.
So that's it for this month's look into Andertoons' past. Hard to believe that 22 years later I'm still doing this.

Today's is from December 2, 1987. Here's a bit of the page it was on:
And here's the cartoon close up:
Looking back I have no idea why I'd attack Thanksgiving leftovers. That's not much of a joke, and I LOVE Thanksgiving leftovers!
Still, the art is getting better, and my handwriting is much improved.
(And I have to admit I like that the plate of food is still gobbling.)

Here's another old cartoon of mine from my high school paper, The Lance.
Today's is from October 21, 1987. Here's a bit of the page it was on:
And here's the cartoon close up:
OK, this one's gonna take some explaining.
A local high school, West, had recently banned the wearing of Spuds Mackenzie t-shirts in school, and the teen community was outraged.
So I did a reversal and had Spuds putting his students in detention for wearing West t-shirts.
All I can figure is I must have cut it too close to the deadline, because that's a lazy lazy joke, even for a high schooler.
Ugh…

OK, so this is sort of old news, but I've been thinking about an Andertoons iPhone app lately, and this might push me a little closer.
Check out what Marvel is planning for the iPhone:
Maybe I better get back to learning some Flash.

Stumbled on this and, although I've never been a big Donald Duck fan, I have to admit I spent some time perusing it.
First off, this is a family with anger issues.
Secondly, I never knew we didn't know who Huey, Dewey and Louie's father was:
Her husband is a mystery, as he is hidden by a bird on Rosa's family tree and part of its branches. The only thing apparent: his last name is "Duck". It has been found out that he went to hospital because Huey, Dewey and Louie have put a firecracker under his armchair as a prank, but the result was quite harmful. It was because of this incident that Dumbella sent her sons to her brother, Donald Duck. it was supposed to be for four weeks, but she never brought them back… Apparently, they couldn't cope with their kids anymore and left them indefinitely with Donald.
Thirdly, Dirty Dingus McDuck looks especially scary. And his name sounds like a medical condition.
Check out the whole tree here, and a hat tip to Indopedia.

I saw a book recently on comedy teams, and one great one that I thought was missing was Jim Henson & Frank Oz as Ernie & Bert.
It's not just nostalgia, Ernie and Bert were comedy genius. Enjoy these as proof:
