An Aircrash Cartoon

Air crash cartoon

A very quick cartoon based on the idea offered here by Barman and, in fairness, probably nothing like he suggested, especially since he did say that it wouldn't need a caption. I'd probably draw this quite differently if I were doing it again and spend more time working it out in pencil to avoid the mistakes I made here. I'd also add seatbelts which are conspicuously absent as well as a sense of oxygen escaping without cheating by using Photoshop to add some blurred debris in the foreground. I originally penciled in the little man as more of a dwarf but I decided that it looked too cruel, with the result being the strange little man we have here.

  2. Oh, that's a good one. If I'd agreed 10:90 in your favour I'd be happy. I've not sold a single cartoon since I started so, if I were you, I wouldn't be too hopeful... ;)

    You should have drawn it as a Boeing 757 like I said - this time next year we'd have been miwlionaires!

  4. I know. That's my whole cartooning career in a nutshell: always draws an Airbus when the market wants a Boeing. :(

  5. We could have another go... I'm sure there is much more humour in aircraft crashes....

    ... and much more Humous when a Greek aircraft crashes!

  8. LOL. But I think you'll find it's also aircrashes and celebrity deaths. You can always be sure of a second after the first and sometimes even a third...
