Hat-tip to Jim S. for the idea on this: all credit where it's due... maaaybe at the most there's one cartoon every five years or so that comes from someone else (point of professional pride I'll never use a gag writer, any more than I'd let someone else pencil, ink or color anything that has my name on it).
*Just for chucks & gigs here's the panel in the flats stage of coloring, just so as to compare & contrast how much depth is added/enhanced volume with cast shadows + subtle gradations of value.
Anyways this idea one was just too good to pass up: it came about during one of those "personal openings" from the annual retrospective down at the distillery right after showing the "Pie-oneer" panel, which has the dubious distinction of being the dumbest one of the year (the rare "so bad it's good" caliber). Throw into the mix my cheesecake cred and it's all the ingredients for a winning recipe.
