Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 18, 2009

Always wondered how they get all those special effects in comics.

Nah, these are fake special effects.

Nods thopse episodes get used as Midnight on wards filler on the Family Channel version of ABC, Drew Carey. Colin Mochury, Ryan Stilles, Wayne Brady, and The guest slot. Those shows are Priceless. Twas a sad day indeed when that got canceled

Joe Allen - My guess between emu or ostrich - I’d guess Emu due to coloring (brownish) instead of black/white (Ostrich). I’ve never lived with big birds like emus but I know there are folks who raise them as “pets” or for “meat”.

It’s only a model.

(shh)

background malfunction

Is it behind him or is it emerging from his head?

Drawing the green screen is the hardest part for the artist, then he has to draw the background on top if it.

These guys have read “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury.

Yaay Dooneysbury! The stupid Staten Island Advance took it out in favor of Beetle Bailey, of all lame, retro things. I’m happy I found it here.

That would be the Staten Island Retreat, sounds like.

You’re right, Dypak, and under high magnification one can still see the green pixels in amongst the pixels pertaining to the “background” picture.

Reminds me of “Who Killed Roger Rabbit?” (the book, not the movie). Behind the scenes of the comics industry is not pretty.

PS: It’s Colin Mochrie.
