CALVIN & HOBBES by Andy Kuhn

I LOVE - LOVE - LOVE Calvin & Hobbes!!!!
What a great pick this week, Nathan.
I can't say enough good things about Bill Watterson's cartooning.
He is a genius of the highest order, and I'm sad
that I can't still get my daily C & H fix.
This drawing won't make any sense to people not familiar with
the comic strip Krazy Kat. Watterson was clearly a fan of that strip.
This piece is my homage to both Krazy Kat and Calvin & Hobbes.
Two great tastes that taste great together! :)

Hey everyone!

I hope you'll all join me in congratulating our own Dave Johnson, who has been nominated for an Eisner Award this year in the category of Best Cover Artist!

Dave is an amazing artist, and we couldn't be more proud that he's part of Comic Twart!

MADMAN by Ron Salas





UPDATE: Due to popular demand, here are the inks.

Here I am bringing up the rear again.
I am colouring this right now but since I know I'm late I'm putting this up here before someone else posts their Twart for this week's topic.
Anyway, hope you like it.

MADMAN by Steve Bryant























I almost didn't make it on this week's Twart—and that would suck, since I chose the theme! I had hoped to try and color this one, but ran out of time (I have a flatted version if anyone wants to take a bash at it).

Mike Allred's Madman crackles with a love for comics, and I wanted my drawing to reflect that love, as well. All of the comics shown represent something special to me (and, yes, I couldn't resist including my own Athena Voltaire in the mix). Bonus points if you can name each issue shown!

Since Mitch already included the lovely Joe in his image, I opted to pair Frank up with It Girl.

Thanks to Mr. Allred for creating a genuinely special comic and I continue to be awesomed by the work of my fellow Twarts—you guys never cease to amaze!

MADMAN by Evan Shaner

The first time I saw Madman he was chewing on a brain. You don't forget that kind of thing.

You can see the inks for this one over at my blog.
