Merry Christmas from Pupeye and (most of) the gang! I found this comic from 1966 and had to redraw it with even more characters. Debuting here are my versions of Oscar (Ottscar the otter) and King Blozo (King Goazo the goat).

Clockwise from top left: Ottscar, Monicow, Olive Owl, Puppea, Pupeye, Ruffhouse, Wimpig, Bulluto, Weezil, Bernice, Jeanie, King Goazo

Concluding the Pupeye ornament redraws, here’s Wimpig! I do actually own the Wimpy ornament this is based on.

Beginning a series of Pupeye and friends celebrating Christmas! This is based on a Popeye ornament from Carlton Cards in 1998.

Another cartoon published in the latest issue of Sylvania Advantage! Featuring the return of my creation from last year, Peppermint Bark the minty mutt. I had fun designing all the little candy elements on these characters.

The latest dog breed fad. Can you hear this image and the Muttley laugh?

Another vintage Halloween song that is probably more obscure. “The Martian Hop” by The Ran Dells is not that scary though, because it’s about the Martians being kind enough to throw a dance party for us humans.

One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater, sure looked strange to me!

Some mo’ Mo. What he lacks in range of facial expressions, he makes up for in hand gestures, including using his hands to shovel food into his mouth!

Say, who is this latest little critter in my little sketchbook? This is my new pet African Clawed Frog, Clawed Monet- but you can call him Mo!

Another mini sketch, this time a still life. I was just suddenly struck by the glow of this lightbulb in a dim room.
