My new mini-strip, Rubbish Robots, starts in The Beano today for a six week run. I created the characters about a year ago, so I thought you might like to see my initial pencil sketches of the three robots. As you can see by comparing the roughs above with a finished panel (below), I tweaked the designs slightly for publication.
I hope you enjoy the strip. I'm really enjoying writing/drawing it. I have another new mini-strip starting in The Beano soon but I'll tell you about that another time.
Never Be Without A Beano! 36 full colour pages for £2, making it the cheapest comic in the shops!
The nephews (one aged 10 and the other 8) enjoyed the new Robot Strip - though thought it deserved a full page in this weeks Beano to introduce them.
ReplyDeleteI won't argue with that, Digi. :-) It'd be nice to have a full page strip in a The Beano again but nothing on the horizon yet.
DeleteWell that was brief I see Rubbjh robots is nt in this week ended already then, wow.
ReplyDeleteNone of the mini-strips are in this week's issue. It's a Halloween special so the content is slightly different. Rubbish Robots will be back next week.
DeleteThanks Lew, I am so glad you brought Rubbish Robots back! They were my fav strip in the '70's!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks but... the '70's? If you're comparing it to Robo-Capers that was in the mid 1980s. Unless there actually WAS a strip called Rubbish Robots in the 1970s that I'm unaware of? Ulp!
DeleteI hear Rubbish Robots was axed after just one week. Your biggest failure by far.
ReplyDeleteI don't have this week's issue in my hands yet but I thought RR would be in it. Rest assured though that The Beano does have all 6 episodes and no doubt the remaining 5 will be published soon. So, no, it's not a failure by any means.
DeleteMy.... return of the sour grapes ....ha foreward and onward Lew ta paul
