That's My Boy

This is an old cartoon, not that old and honestly if I didn't say anything you probably wouldn't even notice. But this 100 Days of Drawing Challenge that I'm doing at the moment is fairly life consuming and it's starting to take it's toll on my a tad. So I have a cartoon half done, but damn I'm tired so I don't want to mess it up so I'll finish it properly on Wednesday and post it next week.

You know what's weird? This guy here, which I know him as Where's Wally, which is what his proper name is. But in the US he's called Where's Waldo. Why? Is Wally not American enough? Are American's not familiar with the name Wally? It's odd, this sometimes happens with movie titles as well, some I can understand but other's make no sense at all. Thankfully I didn't need to have his name in this one for it to make sense other wise that would been confusing that's for sure.

Anyway, until next time, which I hope is later on as you are all keeping up with my 100 Days of Drawing.

The Bay Birth

Ahhh, I so love making fun of Michael Bay, I mean he makes it so damn easy! Oh, here's my previous Bay joke: http://brinkscartoons.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/dont-bother.html

This idea is another example of one of those ideas where I get the basic joke fairly early, but it takes me ages to figure out exactly how to do it. In fact, even the initial sketch I did looks completely different than the final product. It had Michael Bay sitting in between the couple looking quite pleased with himself and the husband was facepalming and thinking something like: "Why did I get Michael Bay to film our birthing video?". But in the end I decided to streamline it more and just have the couple and one speech bubble. 

The joke was always going to have the "Is that an explosion coming out of my vagina?" line in it, as that was always the initial idea I had. But in the beginning it was Michael Bay's own child's birth, but that ended up getting too complicated, especially as I had no idea how to get across that it was Michael Bay. So it did take quite a lot of refining here and there for this one, but I glad I finally go it out in the end.

Enjoy!
