what the hell is this about?

Several friends have embarked on their own P365 journey but as I have no camera nor an eye for photography I've decided to try to complete "a doodle a day" for an entire year. Most will be in my little Derwent A5 sketch book but some could end up being from the corner of some document or scribbled on a newspaper. As the year progresses I will try my hand at inking them as well?

If some of them don't make sense, don't worry, they're probably not meant to. You may notice there will be certain themes along the way and if you know me you'll know why.

I hope you enjoy.

Okay, here goes, every day til I'm 39.

Day #101 - where's the kaboom?


Marty asked me to draw Marvin the Martian, of course i said yes and here it is.

I actually think that Marvin is one of the coolest Warner Brothers characters and he's probably the most heavily merchandised, which is saying a lot when he's up against Bugs Bunny, Tweetie & Sylvester, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Wile E Coyote, the Road Runner (meep meep), Porkie Pig and Yosemite Sam.

That's a bucket load of lovable characters and Marvin out sold them all and he was only in 4 episodes of Looney Tunes (most of these cartoons were created in the 50s and 60s)

he was voiced by the brilliant Mel Blanc (remember the guy in the Amex ads)

I'm trying to remember his lines but all I can think of is "where's the kaboom? there was supposed to be an Earth shattering kaboom!"

Oh well, hope you like it Marty.
