Ol’ George #75:
Notes on #75:
1. I consider every 25 strips as an anniversary. For #25, I offered a tutorial on how to draw George. For the fiftieth, we brought Krazy & Ignatz into the strip. And this one is unusual in several ways.
3. In began when a friend requested another sticker drop out of me. ( I’ve done seven designs altogether in the past 14 months. Currently, you can get them by seeing me in person or purchasing them at OddMart, 2520 Lyndale Avenue, Minneapolis.) I asked them for a suggestion and they gave me “a Bad Kitty beer bottle.” I liked the idea, but changed it to a label with George’s face on it. After sketching it, I decided it should be #75, with panels on the sides, colored with pencils, as usual, but the bottle, would be watercolor. And it would be narrated in rhyme, naturally.
3. I’m going to give this design another go before I turn it into a sticker. It won’t be too different from this, except that it’ll be better.
4. Have I done one with four smiling Georges? That’s weird.
