Felix & Friends #01

Posted on January 19, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Ok guys, this week I decided to do something a little different. Since a certain famous mouse is in the news I thought it would be fun to do a cartoon with him. But then I felt I had to feature my favorite old time character Felix The Cat. I made this strip in the total old school newspaper style using pen & ink, flaws and all. I hope you get a kick out of it! Please tell me how you like seeing Felix The Cat in a strip. It was a lot of fun so maybe I'll do more. Leave your comments below!

Comic strip blocking.

Posted on February 17, 2009 by Leroy Brown

‘Blocking’ just means blocking out how the action gets laid out on the page. In this case I was trying to work out the way Peckinpaw tripped and fell by making the gesture and movement read well in the limited amount of space of the 13″ x 4″ strip. Some artists call this the storyboarding stage. It’s real important to do this before you start drawing the real strip or else you will be erasing and restarting a lot. I always try to avoid a lot of erasing because it can introduce smudges that are hard to get rid of. It can also mess up the surface of the paper making it harder to ink. You can see click on the final published strip here.
