THE WORM THAT IS LATE

I DID A STAR WARS!

Rarely I do fan art, but it was for a friends page so.....Kylo Ren!

Sad to hear Ron Tandberg died today. Back in 1980 when I was a 18yr old dumb art student , he was the first real cartoonist I met. I had to go into The Age offices at something like 10pm to go to his desk (he may have had a cubicle!). He took time off work to look at my stuff and was very encouraging.
If I remember correctly he thought I had the chops to be a writer rather than a cartoonist (HA!) and it was hard to get the job he had and he'd been a school teacher for some time(?) He seemed incredibly old to me as he was all of 37!
Then had to ask me to leave after about 1/2 an hour as he had meetings with the editor to nut out the cartoons for that day. He also gave me a bunch of thumbnails which I framed and are fading with time. He drew straight to pen on paper for all his pocket cartoons in The Age (from what I could tell).

COMPUTER BOY!

0ne panel strip

It’s A3 so my little A4 scanner would hard to match the 2 bits to make this sucker so PHOTO on my drawing board this time. Must do different comic formats to stave off boredom. So one panel comic.

It’s me @ 17 channelling Basil Wolverton!

The Dog and The Bird

Well, this doesn’t make any sense. That guy is reading the strip and so are you.

80s!

Magazine quality humour!

SKETCHBOOK COMICS

Great Uncle Nathaniel Blanden

 Oh my god! I found this in ‘The Bulletin’ dated 1817. Little did I know that my great uncle Nathaniel Blanden whom was sent to Australia for stealing poppy seeds off a bread roll, was also a cartoonist .
