The PETE AND HIS PIMPLE comic from 1987


 


Back in 1987 when I was a regular contributor to Oink! comic, editor Mark Rodgers asked me to produce an 8 page pull-out comic featuring my popular Pete and His Pimple character. Here you can see my initial cover rough and the finished printed version. Mark added the "with Pull-Out Plooky Poster" comment in his red editorial ink.

I had complete control over the 8 page comic from script, design and art and it was very enjoyable to do. Rather than hogging (piggy pun) the whole 8 pages myself I asked Ed McHenry and Mike Higgs to draw a couple of the back up features. The comic appeared as part of Oink! No.41 and you can read all about it over on Phil Boyce's Oink! Blog at this link...
