Kids Art

We just finished some family cartoon time (AKA Daddy has a tight deadline and needs the kids occupied so he can work time), and I promised the wee ones I’d post their art on my blog.

Bonnie (2 years old) worked on this one for a good hour and 15 minutes:

And Henry (5 years old) drew three Batman themed comics:

My favorite part of the whole experience? Henry just came in as I was writing this and said “Hey Dad, has anyone bought mine yet?”

That’s my boy!

Donald Duck’s Family Tree

Donaldfamilytree

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.

High School Cartoons – 1/21/87

Here's another old cartoon of mine from my high school paper, The Lance.

Today's is from January 21, 1987. Here's a bit of the page it was on:

And here's the cartoon close up:

Lance 01 21 1987

I remember this one pretty well actually. I was trying to do more of a Mad inspired comic with jokes in each panel.

Of course the jokes are bad (the last two panels I don't think I even understood then), but the basic structure is OK. Art's not too bad either.

Still, I only ever tried this setup once, and I think that was best.
