Following Tom C's lead. Doing art for Avis Newsletter




Larry, the fellow pictured, is quite a character. Always making me laugh. 
A regular Don Rickles. 
It will be interesting how many quotes people generate.
Another one is
"Everyone picks on Charlie Brown."
He's Charlie Brown. Surrounded by mean people.
 Larry above.

Final version was caused by the desire not to offend.
I'm so coarse.
The revised idea is probably going to be more fun.

I dig this. Great stuff in a Harvey Pekar kind of way.

Wait, he calls people ugly and lazy? Is he the bully or the bullied?

He's funny. It's a throwaway insult like hockey puck only less mean. Everyone laughs when someone comes up and he drops it on them.

Deleted the first version. Did a typo/spell correction and some clean up on the eyes and a couple of other places.

I've had the idea- drawing rejected. Too mean spirited I seems to be the gist of it.
Even though everyone that does the shuttle driving likes Larry and the insults.
No more caricatures or personality interpretations . That's probably a good rule to go forward with on future newsletter contributions

Then I saved it with a mosiac effect and changing it to a fill in the blank t-shirt caption contest.

I am hurting on yr behalf if either of these hilarious drawings were rejected.

Wow, what a character! T-shirt naming contest is funny.

I scanned the page when it loaded and for the briefest second there I was terrified this was a selfie. Don't let Oklahoma hit you THAT hard, Elz!
