Don’t you just hate it when you’re on the phone and someone is standing there staring at you waiting for the phone call to end, looking like they’ve something really important to ask, only to find out it’s something incredibly stupid? Yeah, me too.
Oh, and let it be known that Gummy Bacon is real, and it’s out there. Be afraid.

I remember when I first heard the opening riff of Ziggy Stardust. It felt like I just stepped into strange, alien world that somehow felt like a home I never new I belonged in. The uncanny weirdness and undeniable charisma of David Bowie’s alter ego is what I’ve tried to capture in this drawing.
After laying out the pencils, I then inked onto a sheet of vellum placed over the pencils. Final color and shading was added using markers and a little bit of colored pencils for accents. Below I’ve included a couple of shots of this piece in progess that I originally posted last week on Twitter while I was working on it.

If you haven’t heard by now my good buddy, Brock Heasley of SuperFogeys fame, has a comic currently in competition at Zuda called MONSTERPLEX. Brock recently put out an open call for Monsterplex fan art over at the Official Monsterplex Blog, so I put my pencil into action and whipped up this little pin up of Priscilla. Click on the image to head over to the Monsterplex Blog and see the whole finished image.
For those of you that like the behind the scenes type stuff, I have posted a shot of the pencils for this pin up. Enjoy!
As I type this, there is a little less than a week left in the competition and Monsterplex could use every vote it can get. So head over to Zuda and vote, favorite, and comment away.
I just listed a couple of Spooky Doofus sketch cards for sale on ebay. They’re original pencil sketches on 2.5″ x 3.5″ sketch cards drawn by me, of course. This is an experiment on my part to see if anyone is willing to pay money for my little drawings. If the response is good enough, I’ll post some more after these are gone. If you want a sketch card, but have a specific image or character in mind that’s not currently listed, drop me line and we can work something custom out. Email me here: marc (at) spookydoofus (dot) com or DM me on Twitter @marctoons.
NOTE: Sketch card pictured here is only an example. See ebay listing for actual cards listed.
Hey, kids! If you dig the comedy/ classic monster groove of Spooky Doofus, then go check out MONSTERPLEX, a brand new feature entering the fray over at Zuda Comics. It’s written by the creative powerhouse behind the SuperFogeys, Brock Heasley, drawn by the slick David Schlotterback, and colored by Michael DeVito.
It’s a fun mix of monsters, mayhem, and movies! Go give it a good read, log in to Zuda and vote. Tell Brock Spooky Doofus sent ya!
I did this little piece of fan art a while ago for “Imagine THIS“. I don’t quite remember what inspired me to draw Clovis the teddy bear as everyone’s favorite nutty Korean dictator, but it seems natural. I think it stems from my philosophy that teddy bears in big glasses = funny 100% of the time! This little drawing even inspired “Imagine THIS” creator Lucas Turnbloom to do a series of Clovis Haloween costumes in his strip.
