This was a shout out to Mr. Hipp himself. The three characters featured are all from the Amazing Joy Buzzards. Have you read the book? Why the eff not? Get on it.
I really like using the black edges, but painting them in instead of photoshopping them in was a chore. I also learned a lot of lessons about drawing straight lines with an inking pen. Not the easiest thing in the world I learned! Again, my backgrounds are just crude, “Well, Watterson used this in Calvin and Hobbes, it works, right?”. Another big disappointment is by photocopying this in grayscale the whites are not as bright as they should and shades that are more extreme on the page are lost. Trust me, the picture doesn’t get much better, but I like to grab at the credit where I can.
This is the only one of the pictures that actually has a glove being thrown down, and the only one that is wordless. I would like everyone to know that I would NEVER hit Stevo! He is by far my favorite Joy Buzzard! The most amazing of them! But because of that high regard he was the only AJB that I thought could level the world with a single word.
