Behold the glory that is ... GIMP BOY!

I used to work with a guy who rejoiced in the nickname "Gimp Boy". He was proud of it! I drew a series of pics based on him, but he has those. I think I've already said all this elsewhere...

Anyway, this is a tribute piece. I'll add some re-drafted versions of the originals when I get a chance.

Behold, he wears the underpants-on-the-outside of Superheroicness, the mask of not-seeing, and the cloak of un-flight. He is also smoking the roll-your-own of Rizla...

Cartoon

Behold, um, ...., well, it's... exactly... It's him.

Yes indeed, yourclareness, I did know the original Gimp Boy. At the time, however, he was a wee bit olde and a way much too gimpish, hence your current unmarried state. I know not where he went thereafter.

Nice icon, by the way. And welcome to the loonzone of the toonzone.

This is absolutely grand! Your style in drawing and colouring is in a very impressive way unique! This here is one of my favorites of your works!

Thanks Si, I always feel a wee bit old-fashioned and amateurish in my ignorance of computer-assisted artwork, not to mention my general ignorance of professional cartooning. One of these days I'm gonna have to learn some proper skills. Hopefully, before I hit 60.

LOVE that colouring - so refreshing to see colouring that's not computer generated

Colours courtesy of colouring pencils, underpants by Marks and Spencer, lunacy thanks to my children.

The monster in front is actually a Glabsnorter, but it could be confused with a gneezlewoozle from behind. Not that I recommend you go looking for them.

Have no fear - Gimp Boy is here!

Nice pants, too!

Fantastic colours! I like the monster in the front. It's a gneezlewoozle from Downstairs, isn't it?
