DAISY ... DAISY ... GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER TRUE ...





My Yoko is a sweetie. 

No brag ... just fact. 

She is very supportive and understanding. She doesn't ask a lot of me. But every once in a blue moon, I get a honey-do list. So the other day I had to smile. 

"Hon ... Can you draw Daisy Duck?" 

I turned with a grin and say, "Why yes I can." And then walked away.

She sighed and rephrased her question, "John will you draw me a picture of Daisy Duck? I need something as a going away card for Stephanie. And Daisy is her favorite character."

I turn to my task but not before she adds a caveat. "Oh yeah ... can you do it without the computer."

"What???"

"Well some of the girls at work don't believe you draw what I bring in."

So ... is that a compliment? I mean that your work is so slick it doesn't doesn't look like you could of done it? Well they are right in a way. After all this just copy work. I used a model sheet (a series of posed drawings) I gathered from the new Mickey Mouse Cartoons. It's nothing original or design from me. 

 I really like these cartoons. The style is what if they had Flash animation in the 1930s and John K. did Disney. The best thing about these cartoons are they make Mickey and pals ... funny again. Kudos to producer and director Paul Rudish. 

Kudos sir.  



So ultimately I did what every good husband would do ... I ignored my wife and used the computer. It is quicker ... Yes I finally admit it ... it is quicker if only by the the lettering alone ... and I hate lettering. And they are right. I didn't really do this drawing. 

I hope Stephanie likes this.
