SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ - Episode 146

 

A drawing of the Literary James Bond

 

Somewhat how I envision the 1950's Literary Version of James Bond in my mind's eye when reading an Ian Fleming novel with the "comma of hair" and three inch scar on his right cheek. A quick rough drawing tonight for fun.

 

I tried to merge Sean Connery, Hoagy Carmichael, and a bit of George Lazenby. When I read the Bond novels, it is actually Lazenby's "voice" that I "hear" in my head when reading 007's dialogue. 

 

I hope to one day go and visit Fleming's home GoldenEye in Jamaica where he wrote his Bond novels. Wouldn't that be something?

An Ode to Beetle Bailey

 

 

While most folks know that I love Popeye and I'm doing my own public domain-based comic strip called SEA SHANTY FUNNIES, I am also a BIG fan of BEETLE BAILEY by Mort and Greg Walker. Just for fun, I put together this simple fan-inspired tribute as a test and chance for me to draw these characters that I love. THIS IS ONE TIME ONLY and is not meant as any sort of infringement. I thought I'd share. With all respect and love to the comic strip and creators. Thank you for making me chuckle all these years!

SORRY FOLKS, TODAY'S COMIC STRIP IS A RE-RUN. . . 

 

I needed (and still need) to take care of some things on the home-front and for my work at my "day job". I plan on returning with a new SEA SHANTY FUNNIES web comic strip (and continue our current storyline) this upcoming Sunday -- the Almighty willing. It should be a longer comic strip this next go round is my current plan. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

 

So, HOLD FAST!
