Here's a scene one of my numerous unfinished strips, this time a bizarro take on 1950s romance comics. I call it "Glory Bee," and it's about a psycopathic little girl with a crush on the boy next door ('Glory' is the axe-weilding munchkin hiding behind the sofa in this picture). The storyline's pretty simple: every time her next door neighbor (Harry) gets a new girl friend, Glory turns psychotic and plans out the most horrendous murders in order to 'neutralize' the competition. When each girl appears to die in a horrific accident, no one ever suspects Glory, because she's so utterly adorable with her big blue eyes and golden blond ringlets (no one ever supects Harry either, for some reason). Yeah, I have way too much free time on my hands these days.<br />

Pen and ink sketch, rendered up in photoshop. Influenced by 1950s romance comics and teen humor magazines (particularly Archie, Katey Keen and Patsy Walker).

LMAO. Excellent. It sort of reminds me of that little girl, Rhoda, from The Bad Seed. It's an oldie movie. Black and white.

Anywho, very different. Love it!

Yeah, I totally agree; I never understood what Archie saw in Veronica; Ronnie was spoiled, selfish and conceited while Betty was kind, sweet and much better-looking (in my opinion, anyway). Even Jughead thought she was the nicest girl he'd ever met, he often told Archie what a loser he was for not choosing Betty.

She got her own back every now and then, though - there was one story where she changed her hairstyle and adopted a 'sexier' image; and suddenly every guy in Riverdale wanted to date her. Archie practically went crazy with jealousy ("Everyone knows Betty's my girl!!"), but she ended up going out with Jughead instead - he was the only guy who'd ever treated her decently.

I've seen it on the web somewhere, I'll post the link if I can track it down.

Bye.

>your really good<

Thanks very much, I'm rarely described as "good" by anyone. "Twisted," yes; "demented," frequently; but "good" almost never.

Ciao, M.

PS: I think your stuff's pretty cool too, Kendra.
