Cartoony Looney – 8

Okay, I was wrong. I’m not ready to start showing Jeanie Beanie strips. This was a strong editorial piece in CBG I drew in protest of the surveillance and harassment of comic book shops, and the arrests of some owners, for selling underground comics. There’s a reference to “Watchmen” in the last panel.

I should note that I knew the notorious “Cherry Pop Tart” comics only by reputation, and I was a couple of years away from being the father of a son. Would I have let him see something like Cherry when he was 10-12 years old? No, but I had some Playboys when I was 11.

Speaking of becoming a dad, appearing below are a few panels from the last thing I worked on before that happened. But even with my wife’s due date approaching I was still traveling on business and couldn’t get the piece done before the day of the blessed event.
