cartoon classiks

I don't think I've posted this one before. Art Ant and Doggie are two of the very first characters I ever invented. Art (who I've redesigned a bit here from his original stick-figure incarnation) has a magic pencil that can draw real, tangible objects in thin air...I think I stole that from "Harold and His Purple Crayon"...who kind of stole it from Felix the Cat cartoons, so who cares. Doggie was my attempt at doing a Garfield-style "sassy housepet" character. He has a friendly nemesis named Catt not pictured here. I Hate You was the generic title of a series of comics I tried to do around the same time, about people getting served with slams and put-downs and whatnot. Someone, I think my Mom, said it wasn't a nice title, so I changed it to Heartburn. Sometime I think I'd like to resurrect all these ideas, I guess because I've got a thing for old, bad ideas.
