NELSON'S NEIGHBORHOOD Daily Comic Strip # 3


My very first attempt at a daily comic strip, done in the 1980's, continues with Nelson's Neighborhood # 3.

I cringe a bit when I look at certain things that I would do differently now, like Judy Nelson's face in panel three. Her oval head and butterfly hair-do were distilled to basics in order to make her easy to draw and also make her instantly recognizable, but she sure is fugly sometimes.

Just like real wives. Hey!

I really like the old couple. Maybe I'll do a new strip about them.

The saga continues...

  1. You really do a fantastic job of continuing the storyline while maintaining a 'one-time-only' daily giggle for the occasional non-linear Newspaper reader.

  2. I agree with Lysdexicuss. That seems very tricky.

    I like Mr. Nelson's lopsided eyes.
