Notes: A hands on job...
I don't know, I just had a better picture in my head but it didn't transcribe. Mind you, it's not the worst or anything, I mean it gets the job done.
I'm happy with the way the hands turned out... they were pretty much drawn first and I thought everything was on track, but then nothing else I drew came out the way I wanted. Plus, I spent way too long on this cartoon because I kept trying to do something better with Gail... and trust me, this version is a big improvement on the original.
This was the original sketch:
But when I had the whole cartoon done, I realised that Gail looked all wrong and was just boring looking... like she was just standing there... plus it was a crap drawing. She needed to look as if she were more clambering after the hands...
So I redrew it. A few times! And finally I more or less just gave up. Luckily the point I gave up at was the best attempt, but I still think it's just that: a best attempt. Maybe it's just because I had such a good image of it in my head...
The more i look at the hands though, the more I like them. Probably just me trying to see the positive side of a cartoon I'm unhappy with overall, but to me the hands really do look like they're scuttling off on their own...
Anyway, never mind. The next one will be better.

Your cartoon is cool. And definitely would be better as you perfect your skills.
If you could read more books on jokes and draw the cartoon.
Jokes make the cartoon funny.
'Jokes make the cartoon funny' what an intelligent customer. But I agree with him about the perfecting the skills bit. Give it time Frank, it'lll come.
I thought it was a good tip :)
Especially since that's Bif's end... it's all Bif's fault if they don't work. If they DO work, then of course it's because of my lovely illustrations... :P

Hey Jiggilie... funny, I didn't mean it to be Maur but when I finished the cartoon I noticed that it certainly looked the way I used to draw Maur in cartoons before!
