One fo the few downsides to drawing Jocks and Geordies? There’s 10 of these guys, and they all seem to want to be in every panel. Ugh. This…
The Beano Boss kids are always a challenge. You want to make the kid look like who they are, which requires exaggeration of some features, but you don’t…
Halloween is coming up– but no, this isn’t a Ghostbusters parody in Beano. I had to make the Beano Boss invisible, but like Wonder Woman’s plane, it’s a…
Why do people always want to strike up a conversation with you when you’re doing heavy lifting? I should have added some “pain stars” shooting out of Hari’s…
Another Jocks and Geordies story I did is “Nicest”. As I mentioned, The artists get to draw the title, and I based this one on the opening credits…
This week in the Har-Har strip there’s reference to a laugh box, which is an old joke prop. I had one when I was a little kid, but…
Again, trying to keep things consistent. One way to do that- have everyone live in a house with the same floor plan, same interior decorations, and furniture. The…
The Jock and Geordies story “Huts” made for some difficult shots, like the one below. Not only did I have to show the structures, and get the guys…
As mentioned previously, I try to keep details consistent from issue to issue. One nice thing about the Har-Har strip was they had model sheets of the shop…

The Beanotown ice cream man, Mr. Icy, is in the Beano Boss strip this week. I think he looks like Bob Hope, but then how many kids know…
Had to put an alien in this issue, so I decided to mix and match some classic sci-fi references. The head is from the mutants of “This Island…
So I ended up doing FOUR stories in the Dandy 2022 annual! One of the more entertaining things about working on the stories are the titles- which the…
The Boss had a shirt with type on it in the references, but I tried to make it a little easier to keep consistent. Emoji for the win.
Everyone in the line is a regular character in Beano, but can people recognize them from this angle?
Yeah, not really climbing the wall like a mutated hero, but what the heck.
More colors from my first Jock and Geordies strip. I didn’t know it before, but I’m doing two more stories of them for the Dandy 2022 annual, so…
It’s odd how even clichés used in comics, cartoons, and animation, has to change with the shift in technology. The classic “idea bulb” over the head, went from…
