Cartoonist
A cartoonist is a visual artist who specializes in both drawing and writing cartoons (individual images) or comics (sequential images). Cartoonists differ from comics writers or comic book illustrators in that they produce both the literary and graphic components of the work as part of their practice. Cartoonists may work in a variety of formats, including booklets, comic strips, comic books, editorial cartoons, graphic novels, User guide, manuals, gag cartoons, storyboards, posters, shirts, books, advertisements, greeting cards, magazines, newspapers, webcomics, and video game packaging. Terminology Cartoonists may also be denoted by terms such as comics artist, comic book artist, graphic novel artist or graphic novelist. Ambiguity may arise because "comic book artist" may also refer to the person who only illustrates the comic, and "graphic novelist" may also refer to the person who only writes the script.

Pinky's Crackpot Circus
''Colonel Crackpot's Circus'' was a British comic strip, published from 1960 until 1963 in ''The Beano''. It was the first Beano comic strip drawn by Malcolm Judge, who later went on to draw ''Billy Whizz'' and ''Ball Boy (Beano), Ball Boy'' for the same comic, as well as ''The Numskulls'' for ''The Beezer.'' The strip was about a circus and the slapstick adventures of the circus folk and often involved Colonel Crackpot (the circus ringmaster (circus), ringleader) trying not to pay his workforce what they were worth. In its Beano incarnation the main characters were Colonel Crackpot (the ringleader), Charlie Globes (the strong man, his name is a play on Charles Atlas) and Cynthia the fat lady.http://www.beano.com/retro-beano/colonel-crackpot's-circus?decade=1960 The comic strip was later revived in ''The Dandy'', under the title ''Pinky's Crackpot Circus'', in a strip drawn by Nick Brennan and later drawn by Gary Northfield.

The Beano People
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a v ...

Hyde And Shriek (comics)
''Hyde and Shriek'' was a British comics series, published in ''The Dandy'' between 1991 and 1992, drawn by Tom Paterson. It was about a boy called Erbert Hyde, who lives in Castle Hyde with Mr. Shriek, Hyde's servant who is a vampire. While Shriek wanted his master to be more scary, Erbert Hyde found life at Castle Hyde dull and boring and wished to live a more normal life. Once ''The Dandy'' became full colour in September 1993, this strip was dropped, but returned in 2004 as reprints (Prior to the ''Dandy''s new look) and new material was introduced the following year. The strip was toned down somewhat. In a similar way to Calamity James, the strip lost much of its wackiness once it became full colour. Shriek still wanted his master to be scarier, but Erbert Hyde became more of a wimp than before and often acted noticeably soft and a bit more simple-minded. This version of the strip disappeared in 2007, but returned the following year, drawn by Nick Brennan. In December 2008, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Billy Whizz
Billy Whizz is a fictional character featured in the British comic ''The Beano'', first appearing in issue 1139, dated 16 May 1964, when it replaced The Country Cuzzins. Billy, the title character, is a boy who can run extraordinarily fast. His speed often causes chaos yet at the same time his ability can prove useful. He also has a younger brother called Alfie Whizz of similar appearance. Alfie is usually shown as a normal boy but occasionally he is shown to be just as fast as his brother. In strips up until the 1980s, Billy lives in Whizztown rather than Beanotown like most of the other regular characters, however, this later changed and more recent strips place him in Beanotown. Character history Concept and creation The strip was originated by Malcolm Judge, who had previously drawn ''Colonel Crackpot's Circus'', and would go on to create several more popular strips, including Ball Boy, The Numskulls and The Badd Lads. Judge's style tended to be typified by a wide variety o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
