Weekend Kids #8: Teddy Time Warp

Some folks have responded well to the character of Teddy, found sprinkled throughout my comics over the years, most recently here and here.  I just thought you might find it cool that Teddy is a stock comic character who’s been with me for over 20 years.
This is a drawing I made in 1991 (you can see the date and an early form of a signature I was trying out on the far right).  This version of Teddy is my brother Mark’s bear – the very fat body with the tiny feet that always made me laugh because he’s so cute and wouldn’t be able to walk if he tried.  Here you can see Teddy doing all sorts of fun things.  Yes, there is even a Hitler teddy in there trying to bring the party down, but that’s not gonna’ happen! Too many Teddies having a good time!
The other cute thing about this Teddy is that he doesn’t have a mouth, so it gives him a profound mime-like quality, like an Emmett Kelly clown, or Mr. Bean.  This is another thing that makes him interesting to draw and put into situations.  Even without a mouth, he can be very expressive, but always observant and interested.

Epic Friday: Teddy is Taking me to School Today

It’s Epic Friday! These days can be for fantasy comics or child-like wish fulfillment.  So today I wanted to draw a picture of something really cool – my childhood teddy bear growing giant and carrying me to school! (Actually this is a hybrid of my bear and my brother Mark’s bear.  His bear had a round body like this, but stubby legs.  My bear had long limbs, but a beat-up not-so-cute face.  So I took the best of both bears.)
Yes, that is a Crayola Crayon sky! It’s a color called “robin’s egg blue” from the 120-pack.  Back in my day, the alternatives to blue were cornflower and periwinkle, both of which sucked.  Today’s kids: you are lucky!
Have a great weekend, everybody! See you tomorrow for Weekend Kids #5!
