This, of course is not an illustration from the book. It is, in fact, an example of the type of silent humor I was trying to use with Our Hero. In this particular comic (which should speak for itself), Hero is a part of a children's ballet class. Watch as Our Hero stands among the little one's like it is the most natural thing in the world, much to the shock of the dance instructor. As I look at this picture, which I actually drew a few years ago, I find myself enjoying it. I still find it funny and I love the simplicity of it all. As you can see, when I first drew Our Hero, he was meant to be easy to draw, much a single line drawing. As I show more pictures you will see that I have seriously over complicated Our Hero. I thing that is part of the reason why I have problems putting his in certain situations, because his body is so hard to draw.
Anyway, as I look at this comic panel, I really am considering revisiting this comic. I think it is "Far Side" funny, in that quirky, fish out of water, type of way.
Okay, on to the book. As far as the illustrations on the book, I have not worked on it at all, since my very first post. My plain is to clean up my filthy house and then and only then will I treat myself with working on the book.

You are my inspiration, Mark. Seriously. I appreciate your belief in me, brother.
ReplyDeletewas this meant to be only one panel, or is there an entire story to go along with it?
