They rode a Beano saddle!

If you’re not (at least) over 20, you shouldn’t get that reference. The kids are cosplaying something fierce this week, and I gave the activity page a couple…

Please hang up, and draw again.

Sketches from the other manga instruction book I’ve been working from lately. The photoTheir direct shot– Their manga version– And my direct rendering– Their alternate angle photo–And my…

The good, the Beano, and the ugly.

Give you one guess where the kids are this week?

It’s Beano one of those days!

Yeah, that’s never a good thing, you can see it in his eyes. Check out this week’s Beano to see how bad it got for the janitor!

This isn’t a library, you buying that?

If you are a long time follower of my blog (thanks mom) then you may remember years ago that I used to go to a weekly drawing session….

A Beano to leap tall buildings in… well almost.

I enjoy drawing the janitor from the book, but poor guy never wins. 

You see what I’m seeing?

More alternate image sketching, but from the other volume. Here is the first pose from the reference volume, and you can see that they even include the center…

Beano tossing

Those darn kids, always UP to no good.

Place your bets.

The final run of IDW’s GIJoe: Real American Hero was set in a Cobra themed casino. I really wanted to capture the feel of those places, which always…

A slight Muppet reference, plus a little comic Easter egg this week. My old pal Gary Erskine used to a draw a comic with a similar title. Oh,…

Back to the possibility of doing Monster High, one reason I’d love to be on the book, is that I’m a big “slice of life” manga fan. Stuff…

My Beano is a centerfold!

This week the kids get their class photo… comedy ensues.

Be-be-be-be-be-be- Beano

I mean, Bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, Banana-Man! (in CoLoR)

Beano, Beano ooh, where are you?

You’ll never see Scooby the same.

You never hear the Beano with your name on it!

INCOMING! Whew, that was close one! To celebrate that near miss, here are the original pencils for the panel.

Jinkies, it’s a Beano

Scary, huh?

Look! Up in the Sky! It’s a Beano !

Or a flying Banana? A rare treat for me this week. Nope, not grilled bananas.

Can you out run a bullet?

More from GIJoe: Real American Hero; page 18, issue 291. Over my (almost) ten years on GI Joe, I learned way more about guns, and the military than…

Beano-cast in color!

Hey kids, did you know TVs used to weigh about a million pounds? And one movie was on a cassette the size of a text book?
