Sailors and Snarks

Couple of things for yez. First of all, it looks like the amazing Tom Neely will be illustrating a couple of my Popeye scripts, which is frankly terrific news. Tom and I have been talking about working together on something for a couple of years now; that it turns out to be Popeye is so much the better. Between Bruce Ozella's Segar-esque penmanship and Tom's perfectly in-tune cartooning style, this is going to be one beautiful looking book. (And both Bruce and Tom are lettering their stuff by hand! I can't tell you how happy this makes me.)

 

Next squib for your delectation: that unscrupulous ratbag, Wilburforce J. Walrus, has hijacked my Blogger account and uploaded a frankly libellous process post to the Snark Island blog. It may be of interest to those of you who like to see the nuts and bolts of how a comic book cover is put together. Also to my lawyers.
