Notes: The Killer Diet...

Very happy with this weeks cartoon. It features Inspector Lynch, who featured in the 'Not so just desserts' cartoon in March of this year. I had hoped make a reappearance to be honest. I liked him as a character. And I think this one is pretty funny.

We went back and forth a bit as to whether it should be a loaf of bread or a chemical compound type thingy, but a) I didn't know how to draw a complex carbohydrate in, and of, itself and b) the bread seemed to fit with the pudding... Inspector Lynch seems to have a food thing going on there.

So because bread is a very common source of complex carbohydrates which most people would know it seemed to make sense. I toyed with a potatoe to, but the bread just seemed to work. Closer to the pudding maybe.

So to be sure we were on the right track I sent bif the sketch I had at an early stage so we could change it if necessary - here's what I sent him:



I thought you might be interested to see the initial sketch vs the finished product. This is one that all just fell together for me - from concept to sketch to finished piece.

I'm glad too, because I like this guy. I hope Bif comes up with a few more funny Inspector Lynch cartoons.
