STOP IT!
This, to me, is perhaps the oddest thing I've posted here. The collaged mascot characters are from the cover of a sketchbook, but I can't remember which manufacturer's mascot he is...Speedball and Grumbacher are the two most likely suspects, but I can't find evidence of the source off hand. I have no idea what they're arguing about, either.
Are you sure it isn't some incarnation of Esky (the Esquire Magazine mascot)? That's who it looks like to me.
I say so considering how fond your mom was of (the good issues)of Esquire that would coincidentally go bad when she decided to re-subscribe to the magazine, hence, leaving what was left for little Devlin to cut into pieces for his little collage.
You might well ask. I was born in 1968, and by 1970 I had passed through my fecal-mural phase and done my first recognizable drawing (a rabbit head inside a balloon--possibly inspired by the Mickey Mouse balloons seen at fairs and parades, but that's just speculation). Over the next 11 or 12 years, until my work turned to crap as I hit my teens, I amassed a vast body of work. Unlike most folks, I still have almost all of it, thanks to the efforts of my late mother. Now, through the miracle of modern technology, I'm going to share it with you intermittently, until it becomes apparent that nobody cares, or I get bored, whichever comes first.
(born 1968) American designer, cartoonist, and comic pusher, perhaps best known for appearance in HATE #15. Married w/two dogs. No tattoos, multiple scars, but none notable. Suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.
