Switcheroo Zoo : Rhinostrich




Behold, the newest member of the Switcheroo Zoo... the foul tempered, and quite smelly, Rhinostrich.

DINOSAURS ATTACK!


Hey...it's Friday, and that means DINOSAURS ATTACK!
Looks like the Colonel isn't taking the DINOSAUR INVASION well...
in fact he's "going to pieces" over it.
Don't lose your head!
Get a hold of yourself, sir.
Pull yourself together, man! Where's your guts?

Crocto-pus


My old Kubert School buddy, and talented cartoonist, Bill Van Orden,
gave me the suggestion for this creature created in Illustrator,
the friendly yet voracious Crocto-pus!

Happy Fourth of July!


HAPPY FOURTH of JULY !

Try and remember what this holiday is all about. No, it's not the day you run down to the local rent to own place and get a new flat screen tv and couch, or make a trip to the hardware store to get your paint for the living room.
Thanks to all our men and women who serve or have served in our armed services.
And thanks to the brave group of radicals, 234 years ago, who had the nerve to draw a line in the sand and dared King George to cross it.

Octopissed!



Just a quick sketch in Illustrator of a mad octopus, although maybe he should be called a pentapus.

DINOSAURS ATTACK!

What a week! This weekend is the Fourth of July, one of my most favorite holidays.
Hanging out, seeing friends and family, fireworks...OH MY GOD THOSE DINOSAURS ARE EATING THE CHILDREN!!!
That's right, today's gut-busting DINOSAURS ATTACK comes from sunny California.
I guess on the West coast, it's normal for kids to wear swim goggles on a field trip.
At least I think they are swim goggles.
Look at the kid wearing the red jersey with 17 on it.


I mean, what's up with those? The bus is too long to be a "short" one, and besides, none of the other kids are wearing hockey equipment.
Anyhoo, those dinosaurs are really chomping on those kids.
Just imagine the artist. Coming into work at the Topps Company, getting his brushes ready, paints, etc., and then he gets his assignment.
" Ok, today you gotta paint a bus load of kids being eaten by a pair of Parasaurolophus, or Parasaurolphusi...well, whatever they're called, you gotta paint'em. An make it real gross, that's what the kids who aren't being eaten alive like."
Here's the back of this little gem.
