Now, who can spot the difference between the cover above and the published version? Any ideas? Check out the audience members four rows back, between Gonzo's arm and his head. Yup - Bert and Ernie. I'm not allowed to use Sesame Street characters on the Muppet Show comics, but at the time I drew this cover I wasn't aware of that, so I tried to sneak 'em in. But I got busted! Still, makes a nice little curiosity for the old blog.
On the subject of Muppets, there's a chat online with me at ToughPigs.com about the third issue you may like to check out. And I spoke to Comic Geek Speak on Sunday for their pre Heroes Con show, so I imagine that will be up before the weekend. Their focus was mostly on the Muppets, although they very sweetly took the trouble to mention Fred the Clown a few times and ignored my Marvel work entirely. Did I mention I'll have Fred the Clown for sale at Heroes Con? I'll have Fred the Clown for sale at Heroes Con.
One more thing about Heroes Con - I will be sketching! Yes, I will! I'm going to try an experiment this year and have a Tip Jar, the idea being that you pay me whatever you think your sketch is worth. So everybody can afford one - no excuses!
Apparently we're sitting next to each other at Heroes. Be prepared to draw me a muppet.
ReplyDeleteI'll draw you a Muppet if you draw me Superman with a duck on his head.
ReplyDeleteReally wish I could make it to Heroes again this year... it would be great to hang out with you once again.
ReplyDeleteBut a new baby and a general lack of funds prevents said reunion. Have a great show good sir... here's to the hope of joining next year's festivities!
Dangit, I can't attend Heroes either and want some Muppets for my wall. When are you going to put pages up for sale? If I need to call Mark Waid so you can get permission, so be it.
ReplyDeleteBTW. I will need Waid's number.
That Gonzo/Davros sketch is marvelous.
