Some Old Editorial Cartoons



The awards I won were for my editorial cartoons including this one here about text books. My "Aliens on the Roof" comic didn't turn any of the judges heads, but it is still one of my favorties. Anyone who was at R.C.C. at the time would understand why it was relevant. As for the blackspot on the trees, it was an accident. I was drawing almost entirely with crow quill pens at the time and accidental ink spots are pretty much unavoidable.







The Horny Toad was a character that I created for my animation course at R.C.C. I then used him in several strip comics for the student newspaper there. I didn't get any awards for him, but he was a lot of fun. I never actually settled on any particular name, but Eddie always comes to mind. I've been drawing him over the years since then. I used him in a one minute cartoon short and I've been working on a redesign every so often. For the last three weeks I've been trying to find time to sit down and do a couple strip comics. So far nothing. So here is some of the old stuff.
