Evening, Another gag based around ‘Superman’. Seems the audiences are pretty divided on this NEW movie. I liked it. 4 out of 5. I came out thinking the sequel could be great if they get a great actor for LUthor and an even better script! Enjoy,   ROLFE]]>

I’d just like to point out that the sudden weight gain of the “Mighty Monocle” between panel 1 and panel 4 has nothing to with inability to draw properly. All I need to do, is so much as look at an ice cream and I put on weight, so there!

On reflection, the bird poop ‘splat’ in this comic strip is a bit on the large side. But, not if it’s from an albatross. So let’s just say it’s an albatross and nothing to do with me not being able to draw bird poop at the correct scale.

Evening, I hope you enjoy this comic strip. It made me laugh, which is always a good start. Polka dot mini-skirts with fish-net stockings and ballet pumps are going to be huge this year. Remember you heard it here first! Fashion trends and gags, what more can you ask for! Thanks for reading,   ROLFE]]>

Morning,

I have been posting my web comic for over two years now. Over that time I’ve learnt so much, about cartoon art, humour, timing and most importantly myself.

I have also had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of many other creative web comic types. It’s a fairly solitary pursuit, so I’m always very keen to link up with other artists, to swap art, techniques, tips or ideas.

Which brings me round nicely to the artist responsible the amazing piece of work above.

Vince Dorse is the artist/writer of “The Untold Tales of Bigfoot” web comic. I only recently met Vince through the newly formed “Comic Creators Minigroup”. So, I guess it’s all Denver Brubaker’s fault.

I was blown away when I first read “UTOB”. It’s a brilliant premise, and the art and writing really are on a level I can only dream of. It’s so good in fact, that the NCS have shortlisted it in the ONLINE COMICS – LONG FORM category. The winners will be announced at the NCS Reuben Awards in May.

But, I felt compelled to have a stab at drawing my own fan art/homage to “UTOB”. The idea for which came to me completely out of the blue on my daily commute.

Many, many attempts later I finally had something that I felt was of a good enough standard. Us cartoonist types are never happy.

I sent it to Vince, and he was delighted with it. He then immediately offered to reciprocate the offer. I was was not expecting this response, Vince not only writes/draws/colours and posts weekly, but he also earns a living as an illustrator.

So, I was touched that he could spare the time from his very busy schedule to draw something for me. I think you’ll agree, he knocked the ball right out of the park.

We’re pushing the internet to the limit today, with a Fan Art simulpost! I’m posting Vince’s fan art and at this precise moment Vince, is posting mine. At least he’d better be! Check it out here!

Thanks for reading,

Morning, After hours of research on this comic I learnt that a ‘Porta-Loo’ here in the U.K. is actually referred to as a ‘Porta-Potty’ in the U.S. At least I hope that’s right? 95% of my readers are U.S. based. Hence you got gotty the potty. Enjoy,   ROLFE]]>
