Financial cartoon

Tiger and Hurricane's Chuckles joke page by Jack Clayton


Jack Clayton 1966.
Interesting the different pen line thicknesses used.
His style is very different to his 70's and 80's work.
I prefer his later work personally. He did much more fun detail then the ones we see above.

The Week magazine covers by Howard McWilliam





He is really good at capturing the likeness of people.


Howard does some super angles in his work.

love the expression..spot on!


I love this zombie kid image..the colours and the gormless look says it all..

Its good to see drawn magazine covers today. Beats photos anyday. Much more creative!

Catholic Husbandry 101


Since Sunday's 2nd reading was on the controversial issue of wives submitting to husbands, maybe the USCCB should have this inserted into the missalette. This way, you could listen to the whole version of the reading without offending the feminists in the pews. Although, on second thought, they'd probably still be offended anyway, since there's really no placating them.

I've not heard of any Catholic Husband's group complaining that the shorter version only deals with how husbands should treat their wives, but I've heard that the Catholic Husbands United for Marital Peace (CHUMP) have held symposiums on the issue. ;o)~

Leo Baxendale's Banana Bunch doing an Operation!



I had to show you this one..
The Bunch playing Doctors and Nurses.
Seeing the bread knive being swang around is quite unusual...we have forgotten that comic violence is not real. So it disturbs us today. Seeing the nurse with the hairy legs really made me laugh!

Things were different in 1960!

Partners in Life and Death???


As you've probably heard, Obama had the gall to proclaim that "...we are partners with God in matters of life and death".

Wow.

First, I'm wondering who the "we" are. The Government? Obama himself? Who's "we"?

If Heaven were to ever issue an "Oh, B.S.!" memo, this would HAVE to be the time.

Leo (the lion) in Lion comic!


A wordless comic strip of Leo from the 50's a very different version to the cover figurehead.


Phil Millar draws the 1960's Leo's corner joke page.
Phil also drew for Sparky comic e.g Willie Getaway in the 70's.


The idea is to cheer up the lion with jokes!



On a side note I wonder if Reg was going to draw a lion comic page But changed it to a cat instead. It is a cat strip anyway in Lion.

Buddy comic's Buddy!

From comicsuk gallery.

Buddy was in charge of Buddy comic named after him.
One problem for the figure head of Buddy was there was only one picture of him
as far as I know.


So artists tried to change the drawing to get an expression out of the grinning Buddy. It looked like someone had graffitised him. He just needed blackened out teeth and a moustache!!:)







Who was the artist who drew Buddy?
Its a shame the artist hadn't drawn a few more versions. :)
They got it right with Spike in Spike comic by Brian Walker...a much better result.

Brian Walker's Spike in Spike comic


Spike drawn by Brian was not only a cover star and the name of the comic But also had his own comic page...The Spike Report.


These Adults are very cruel to Children..
Clip round the ear doesn't sound much fun..maybe kids did need to wear that gear for protection.


I like the way the page curls up at the end..



Spike also had appearances on the letter pages..also in the competitons and quizzes.
So the Character had to be liked by Boys..
Spike seems to be a rough common working class character and a bit older than most Kid comic Characters.





Never read Spike has a kid..never really got into adventure drawn comics..has an Adult I like them a bit more..But I still more excited at seeing the comic page in the Adventure comic! :)

Robert Novak, RIP


I came of age politically in the 80's watching him hold forth on The McLaughlin Group. My favorite political observer/writer. May God rest his soul.

LCWR celebrates the Year of the Priest (not)


In this Year of the Priest, many parishes and dioceses make mention of it on their websites and have special emphasis on appreciating everything these men do for the flock. Being the type of guy I am, I wondered "Hey, I wonder what the LCWR has to say about it?". Naturally, there doesn't appear to be any special mention of it on their website (big surprise!).

Then I read the article in the NC Reporter about their big Nag-Fest in New Orleans. Doesn't seem like they're too thrilled with it. It's bad enough that the big, bad ol' Catholic Church keeps women "down", but then to celebrate it with a special Year for Priests? AND actually have the gall to investigate the LCWR???? For heaven's sake, I'm surprised they didn't invite in some Muslims to assist them in burning the Pope in effigy.

The comments following the article are good for comical relief, too. Have a gander:

See my websites turned into blog posts..










I've created many comic artist websites here are some of them...

Terry Brave | Tom Patterson | Ken Reid | JEO | Trevor Metcalfe | Steve Bright | Reg Parlett | Leo Baxendale | Brian Walker | John Geering | Bill Ritchie | Mike Lacey | Robert Nixon | The Weird and Wonderful of the Comic World | And a Whole Site Dedicated to JEO's Mastermind

23 websites in total!!...sadly and very annoyingly GEOCITIES is closing down in October!! So I'm having to take every picture...text and save to my computer then reload them up somewhere else...I've decied to create a new blog to store them on...

http://petergraycomics.blogspot.com/

GEOCITIES did go off line an awful lot and wasn't the best place to do a website..so a good chance to put them somewhere better and for me and you to revisit them...I sure did a lot!!
