Billy And The Young Atlas

By -




This was one of my best, to this day, and I over erased it.  Too bad.  This is one of the ones that I would occasionally draw in the midst of a whole lot of bad art, the story of my life.  
This is me with a neighbor, a young giant who could press 600 lbs and I saw him do it.  He was a monster and very likable.  In this pic Billy is drawn just the way I see him.
Again, about every 30 pictures I would do one that is really good.

To make it even funnier , you ...

Crusader is the world's first cartoon series made for television.  Alex Anderson, nephew of Paul Terry, came up with the idea.  Jay Ward is part of this, huge surprise there.  It was filmed on a very low budget and has little animation, mostly still shots and camera pans making up the bulk of the cartoon.  Here Crusader is about to demonstrate his lack of superpowers. https://youtu.be/C3hHQvkUhJo Ragland T. Tiger, Crusader's partner and best friend.  The 'T' stands for 'the'.  When asked about it, Rags would tell people his middle name was Larry but his dad couldn't spell!  Rags is none too bright and is the beginning of a long tradition of dopey cartoon sidekicks. This is a cast photo, I cannot find out who is who in this.  But never mind that, what is this picture behind the bar? I would not be astonished if this was by Martin Prov...
