Loss And Love, A Cartoon Redo

I re-colored a previous cartoon, The Afterlife, and also corrected a wonky eyeball. Although I enjoy a bright color palette I’m thinking my cartoon style may work better with gentler color. Here’s the result. Thoughts? Opinions? Insults? Do share.

Your cartoons artwork are very unique. I love your drawing style! I am an Illustrator myself, but lately seems like not enough time to do all these. You have inspired me to draw again P.L. Frederick :)

I love your cartoons - they remind me a little of Roz Chast's work, but are totally original and cool.

Awesomeness!

It has not escaped me that I have a somewhat profuse forehead. Or rather, a fivehead. The “high forehead” was thought to be much attractive in the 15th through 16th centuries, when wealthy gentleladies plucked their way to highbrowed beauty. Admirers took note of the greater brainpan and refined intelligence. (“My, my. Look at thee fo’ead on that one.

One day, a dame with a dome has a bright idea: Advertising Revenue. Then an even better, more refined idea: But a genius idea needs geniuses to buy into it. That’s where you come in.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!
