Ancient Comics part one
I'm still in a perpetual state of packing and unpacking for the move and have found some gems. This was one of the many comics I done in the classroom from 1992 when I was 13. I was such an idiot, I used to draw them then give them away so there's only a few surviving.
I distinctly recall drawing this in Maths then finishing it in detention. I drew loads of stuff while being kept back unitl they introduced a new system where they would give you a phonebook and you'd have to transcribe it for 40 mins. Saying that though I wasn't a regular unlike some lads I hung around with. I enjoyed it sometimes as the combined sheer disruptive power of 20 elite troublemakers just brushed the inexperienced temp aside and wrecked the place. There was one heart warming incident when some crazy detainee much older than me threatened to kill the teacher when he took a half finished drawing off me, he returned it and I wrapped it up. Sometimes though the pacing teacher would just see that you're drawing a comic and snatch it and rip it up. Heart breaking stuff. A dick tried that with me in 5th year but quickly returned it when the whole class defended my right to draw in class. I still hated them all though.
This is Ninja vs Pooba. Two lame characters from my early teens.

Dammit, wish I'd kept the cartoon strips I drew as a kid...
Touching stuff. Man i wish i was that sick and twisted at 13. The best i could manage back then was a one pager moral tale of a post nuclear warrior who torched a mutant who got in his way. The moral being dont ask an anti hero with a flamethrower for directions.
Whats the deal with the end part. Does my spider-rattelbag-sense see the germs of a benevolent mr amperduke type influence?
Just thinkin Borb, Why dont you do a 'how to colour with Photopaint' article?
Bob sez: Neh, I'm still doing it all
half arsed between Corel and Adobe and now with a bit of Painter thrown in so I don't want to confuse your ass. Hopefully restructuring clamnuts soon to have a 'how to' part
I used to draw picture after picture of witches... my grandparents thought I was possessed.
Bob sez: Hey Dol, some interesting shit on your site.
Now if you'd sent in some shit of that caliber with your begging letters then maybe we'd be in business.
