Irv Spector Pretty Girl Comics

Here's an Irv Spector treat.Spector is the same guy who draws the beautiful Coogy comics.He blends appealing traits from a lot of different styles all into one.http://irvspector.blogspot.com/2009/12/comic-book-interlude-farmers-daughter-1.html

More Milt Stein

Cartoons and dinosaurs: 2 eternally cool things.Here's some more amazing Milt Stein cartoon art.He's obviously an animator but also influenced by the graphic looks of such comic strip artists as Herriman and Sterret.So cute and so stylish at the same time. A rare combination.And great backgrounds too!Milt understood the graphic power of stars.Not only did he draw nice star shapes (not easy to do!

Milt Stein - a perfect funny animal man

Here's a cartoonist I like a lot. He's a drawing textbook for all the cartoon skills and techniques I promote.His basic style is generic 40s animation funny animal. He has all the principles that add up to that look almost perfectly. On top of that he has his own unique stylistic finish.His most amazing skill is his ability to organize all the principles and design elements with a scene and

Jim Tyer Comic

Mykal Posts a lot of great old comics and here're some previews of a story from "Ha Ha" featuring your favorite Jim Tyer character, Pete the Parrot.I wonder how Tyer developed this drawing style?It's so unique - and a more elaborate variation of his animation style.This issue of "Ha Ha also features a black and white page of a Dan Gordon comic.http://www.bigblogcomics.com/2011/01/ha-ha-comics-no-

Wonderful Cartooniness

I found a treasure trove of Dan Gordon comics at Greatest Ape.What I like most about Gordon s that although he has an obvious animation background, he resists following exact inbred animation formula in his posing, design and composition.His scenes exude raw energy and life. It reminds me of storyboards that were drawn for classic cartoons. It has a sort of coarse unfinished look to it - but only

Christmas Comic Book Stories

Christmas is not generally the best theme for cartoon fun. It usually means cartoons and comics that are mild, not too raucous and worst of all - good for you! Even so, I highly recommend Christmas comic books as a nice present for some kid in your family.Animators-when not telling pure cartoon stories- have an odd tendency to want to draw sweet naked men and boys and this book has some of that.

A Change Of Pace

I didn't wanna wear you out with all that crazy cartoony stuff so thought I'd take a left turn and show some killer Alex Toth comic book work.I'm not that big on "realistic" comics in general but I do admire skill when I see it. This stuff really wows me.Toth is not as splashy as some of the superhero comic artists and his style is more subtle.He draws like a sonuvabitch though and I'd love to

Painted Cartoon Comic Covers

The Non-Terrytoons Jim Tyer Style

Boy, they weren't kidding.I like this other drawing style Tyer used in his early comics.It'd sure be interesting to know how he came up with it.Looks sort of like a combination of Milt Gross and Dr. Seuss.The first couple Terrytoons he animated on look sort of like this. There's a Mighty Mouse story that takes place at a circus that has unbelievably cool detailed animation by Jim Tyer. -about

Kirby Fantastic Four Covers

I was obsessed with these comics when I was a kid.I didn't start buying them until 1966. Before that I thought the drawings were too bizarre.Once I got hooked I wanted to buy all the back issues.Luckily, in those days there was always a garage sale every weekend where some kid would be selling all his comics for a penny each so I went and bought all the issues dating back to the beginning.It was

Your Favorite Comic Titles

Alley Oop had the best dinosaur and jungle drawings.No one can forget Catman.Felix and the bulb-noses - a kid favorite.Henry was once beloved by millions. The "Funniest Living American". He doesn't have a mouth. Is he Popeye's bastard son?.Smokey Stover must be the wackiest comic ever. A big influence on Clampett.I love this Oswald drawing!Comics are for everybodyWalt Kelly Snow WhiteDon't you

Jim Tyer Likes You

Boy, talk about "Man Cartoonists". Jim Tyer is the definition of one. This guy had the power to shoot his pure funny thoughts straight from his brain through his pencil to hit the paper unfiltered by preconceived rules, model sheets or second-guessing. He just drew what he felt - and he felt that kids deserved fun.That's kind of how I draw storyboards, but I always intend to "fix" things later in
