Whoopee!! its David Mostyn comic work



The origin of Snack-man see its nothing like Pac-man at all..erm...;)
Boy this comic brings back a lot of memories for me..I can still taste the bubble gum..free gifts were rarer in those days and more special.



Smiler is of course by Nick Baker..But this shows the cutout booklet drawn by David.


David's work was great for joke books and he has done many books..

David has illustated many children's books..see this long list at amazon..

He also decorated the joke and letter page of Whoopee which I'll show in another post.


1st May 1982. This is a brand new take on the artist in control..here the Little Ed is trying to control the artist..well trying..



Whoopee Holiday Special 1983.

As you can see not only does he do great emotion in his strip he is a great cross hatching texture pen artist which is great for a thunder storm for example..
