War comics

David P. Smith Corner

"If'n the dog hadn't stop to piss, he might have caught the rabbit." "If'n your waitin' on me you're backin' up." Now I got to go to bathroom and take the Browns to the Super Bowl. See ya next time.

Comicbook

Here are some panels from the Chestaclese comic. Never show unfinished work except in emergencies.

Sokol

From German newspapers in the propaganda section, circa 1987.

Ralph Bakshi

Or as the brothers say - Ralph Bashki. A story sketch from "Fire Dogs II". John K drew this when Ralph was distracted.

Muscle-y Men

Another great yard sale/flea market find. This mag. is from 1952. I think John K. found this a few years back.

Earl

Just a quick for anyone who gives a ... Check out "My Name is Earl" on NBC Thurs. Jamie Pressley is an animators dream Her facial expressions and acting are dee-light-ful. Second only to Alicia Silverstone in Clueless. I shit you not .. or not you shit ...or... Just freeze-frame the biatch. I gotta go give birth to male hernia. I think I'll name it after my dad.

temporary delight

A picture for you until I get more Jack
Cole stuff. This will hold you til supper. If you'll notice Jeri is still wearing the ring I gave her though we are no longer wedded.

Jack Cole

Some early Jack Cole and a great color image by Spiegelman.

Joe Orlando

Joe Orlando was everywhere but here he is working with Sergio and it looks like nothing else.

Arthur Szyk

Now you tell me - was this guy way out there?

Dave Berg

Berg's Lighter Side was great but this stuff blows it away. I shit you not.

Kelly Freas

Aside from Kurtzman and Wolverton this cover is the coolest cover ever. Kelly Freas was a regular Mad guy. Discuss.

Wally Wood

Some of the Woodmeister"s best. This guy's good. I know someone that knew him once.

Kirby/Bell

More genius from the King. Floating heads are a lost technique. We wanted to get this into the Ripping Friends but time ran out.

Molly Ivins

Woodbridge

These are George Woodbridge drawings from Mad 1961. His later stuff didn't tickle my fancy the way these do.

Kirby/Bell

Back in '67 or so I was a dedicated Joe Sinnott fan as Kirby inkers go. George Bell's work looked too rough to me. Looking at it now I think his inking is perfect for Jack. Raw and faithful yet he had a definite style. There is a delicate balance of the beautiful and the grotesque. Hey, that's a good name for a sketchbook.

More Caricatamanucures

Some more scary heads to ogle. Goering is almost as scary as Arnold.

Steve Mc Queen

I was sorting out drawings and found some old stuff. My favorite McQueen movie - "Hell is for Heroes". He plays a real psycho-killer in WWII. Always saying "I'll Blow your head off!" and cool stuff like that.\
