yer winehouse looks a lot like her stuff.

i had some conversations with her via email when i first moved into nyc; she was very friendly and surprised anyone was curious about her work at all.

Trying to duplicate Abbott's original list upthread, to my own very special effect. I misjudged the space, so the pie is terribly close to the scissors.

Alan Shepard forgot to take his goggles off.

he is staring longingly at that fire hydrant...

The fire hydrant that looks like a dismembered robot.

Here are a few more:

You know how hard it is to draw a trash receptacle that doesn't look a robot or martian in disguise?

I had a caption for this, but can't remember it.

I've been drawing Seymour Skinner since before there was a Seymour Skinner, fwiw.

Finally, I had this idea for a strip that revolved around a sports talk radio station. One of my characters was going to be based on Houston Nutt:

i think that is it. every suggestion on this thread has now been drawn by somebody.
national draw a satisfying cartoon month is a success!

that sports radio dogs is a good premise BTW -- actualize it!

Houston Mutt?

Austin Mutt. I hadn't even thought of what his name could be.

I tried out the series for awhile, but then put it down. I'll go though phases of drawing stuff like this once a year or so, and then… I'll lose it somehow.

One year, February 29, 2000, I got in this huge fight with a Kinko's worker and didn't draw for another five years.

I sound really flighty when I type this out, but I swear I've been doing other things too!

what happened to the storyline in the sketch? mutt seems to be making a high-power sports-agent type deal, then hand-holding a player.

Philip Nunez, Thursday, 11 November 2010 20:17 (thirteen years ago) link

Wasn't much of a storyline as much as it was the different shades of crab-pinching and elastic facial expressions he could do.

that's an excellent "i'm in broadcasting" jacket you drew BTW.

Thank you. Those wardrobes are better heard than seen.
