At ease disease, there’s a fungus among us. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. I had a hard time resisting jumping on those straight lines like “Where does a turtle find a fur suit in a dungeon?” And the one from Fatz about “pretending to be a giant walnut”. Monroe seems ready to face the squirrels in his Fungus Suit. We will all just have to come back next Tuesday to see their reactions.
The Disguise Dilemma
There isn’t much entertainment in a dungeon, so Monroe’s arrival and subsequent decision to disguise himself as a squirrel to fool the guards and get the key to the cells has become the big topic for discussion among the prisoners. An old friend has joined into the turtle ribbing, Rocky the pugilistic butterfly. Poor Rocky has taken one too many shots to the head with a turkey drumstick so he’s never quite sure what to do when someone yells “duck”. See you again on Thursday for some fur suit fun.
Suitable For Framing
In a world where comic strip art can be done totally digital, one big trade off is the absence of physical art work suitable for framing and display. Here is my first attempt at closing that gap. These are prints of the actual strips brought to life in the real world. They will be going up on my studio wall eventually, but for now they are scheduled to travel with me to some conventions for show and tell.
When talking to potential readers at a convention, my goal is always to make sure that they at least walk away from our meeting with the www.bugpudding.com URL firmly memorized as well as a nice printed souvenir post card to remind them how to find the comic online. But, nothing is more compelling than physically looking at and holding the comic art itself. Thanks to a suggestion from Bill Riling, we are now calling these prints “Digi-Original” art.
