This is the Grandma series, where I introduced a character I was hoping to make a semi-regular in the strip.
I briefly experimented with making Jeanie older, giving her — ahem! — a bit of a bosom.
Note that Wendell’s name is spelled with an “a”. This was done to avoid any potential conflict with Howard Cruse’s character Wendel. But to make it official, the walrus is Wendell.
The pencil work in panel 1 below shows that I wasn’t happy with the figures being so small. Lots of wasted space in panel 3.
Once again my visual ideas were getting ahead of my drawing ability. And in panel 2 the top word balloon should be pointing to Grandma.
After an uncertain start with Grandma, Wendell and Beckle quickly find common ground with her. “GH” is for “General Hospital.”
Yes. She reminds me of Tweety Bird’s Granny!
I assume you’re clicking the images to enlarge them.
It’s eerie how different Grandma looks from the other characters. It’s almost like another artist was channeling through you. The style is totally different and very Warner Brothers!
