Bear Seasons: Summer

[kybearfuzz]

Back before I started posting the "seasons" cartoons, I thought about who would approach to use as the models for it. Ed (njbearcub1) was the first I thought of when it came to the "Summer" cartoon. So I emailed and asked him and was thrilled that he was okay with me doing this.

I thought of different images to use, most of them involved him sunbathing. While I liked this idea (and I wager that most of us would), I was having trouble showing the mythic influence over the season that the other season toons have had so far. The early drafts just didn't work. So I decided to depict him having some summer fun I remember from youth. Is he reaching for the sun or putting it up in the air himself?

In retrospect, I should have drawn him shirtless. I'm sure it would have made the cartoon much better! :)

Big hugs, handsome!

Nice! I very much enjoyed this and also being able to stroll through your Flickr stream and see all the other work you've created. Do you have a website where all of your work is stashed? I'd love to see more...

Well, thanks! And howdy!

I don't have a website where all the work is stashed, except maybe for this one. I post cartoons on here from time to time. The best way to look at them is to hit the "toon" tag at the bottom of this entry and it should take you back to all the past ones.
