Ink on reclaimed cardboard (a small strip from a frozen dinner box) with digital embellishments and color. 2019.
I'm going to chalk this one up to a few different influences: (1.) Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl, specifically the skit about how comedy works. (2.) Berke Breathed, creator of the Bloom County comic strip, who I've been reading a lot of lately. And (3.) Milton Knight, cartoonist extraordinaire and creator of Midnite the Rebel Skunk, who I recently followed on Faceboot and who frequently posts classic, Golden Age, comics. I've loved comics since I was a kid, and comedy, and these were my (most likely) sources of inspiration for the tragi-comic piece presented above.
Do you care? I don't know, but at least I got to name-drop three great influences on my "work" while sharing my silly NON-COM-ART!!!
KEEP IT NON-COM!!! (Don't know what this means? Read [THIS]("NON-COM-ARTS (https://steemit.com/communities/@richardfyates/noncomarts-a-community-for-that-other-kind-of-art-by-richard-f-yates-7jbgrql8) post from a few days ago and see what I'm babbling about. If I get the GUMPTION, I'll write a full "NON-COM-ARTS MANIFESTO!!!" That'll teach 'em!)
