Cartoony Looney – 85

Credit cards are distributed so freely today I suppose that some non-humans have credit ratings. Ordering by phone from a catalog dates this strip from 20+ years ago.

I love classic cartooning styles, and I drew this logo sketch of a generic character a few minutes ago.

Cartoony Looney – 84

This is the first strip of a 2-parter. I experimented a bit with the character designs here, which I quickly abandoned. For example, Wendell is gigantic and his tusks are unmanageably long.

Don’t ask me what today’s logo sketch is supposed to be, because I’m not entirely sure yet. It’s for the other project I want to develop.

Cartoony Looney – 80

I’m late posting this because I was away, arranging for something very special that will be revealed later. Here’s a Sunday strip for a Sunday that I call “deprogramming a programmer.” The technical references may be out of date, but the point is more true today than ever.

The customer is a character named Desmond that I created back in the mid-80’s. He was a stressed-out high technology worker of a very different sort than Dilbert, who was introduced at the end of the decade.

Today’s logo sketch is another variation on the theme of Bean Head.
