I was going through some of the piles of garbage I’ve collected over the years and came across these cartoons I drew when I was 13 or 14. You can click the images for enlarged versions.
 This one is titled “Angry Kennedy.”

 I believe this a self-portrait. I remember really wanting a lava lamp at the time.

 In this cartoon, a skinny guy is shocked to find that a fat man’s midsection has been magically grafted onto his own body.

 This cartoon, titled “All of a Sudden, Larry’s Brain Quit!” is from my “pastel period.”

Being a packrat, I have tons of cassettes and videos from my youth. One day I’ll get around to digitizing them. They are hilarious.

Wow. Some of them are cartoony. Neat look.
P.S., I think “All of a Sudden, Larry’s Brain Quit” should be a book title.

That cartoony style is still what comes naturally to me. (Early BFW is pretty indistinguishable from these cartoons.) I’m just an uptight dink and prefer the pseudo-realistic style I currently use.

Hmm…interesting.
Out of curiosity, think in the next blog post, you can post some early BFW? At least once? I’m curious to see them.

If you can wait until October, I’ll be posting a little bit of everything for BFW’s 5 year birthday.

BFW’s going to be 5 years old? *sniff* comic strips grow up so fast, huh?
