Busker Jim
Something from the vaults (and also the source of my Avatar). I post this for a reason that I'll make clear in a day or two :). Busker Jim was a comic strip I did for a few years (1984-1985) in a Melbourne newspaper called The City Extra - these are a few random samples. It was a different era, and I think humour (along with a lot else) has changed dramatically since then. I used to play alto and tenor saxophone (and keyboards) back then, but I've given up music for drawing... at least for now.

This is excellent. Would love to see more of these. I am partial to the dog. Does he have a name. I think they are funny...
Thanks, Sully! Er, the name thing... I made the mistake of giving this dog a name - the wrong name - once, but hastily took it back, so he doesn't really have one. He's an Australian terrier in a football beanie and originally started in another strip I did in High School, but was perfect for the Busker strip. Like all animal characters, he tended to take over a bit :).
I really like the dog! ... ooh Im with sully said that too...
Id like to see more of him... he has a way of grabbing your attention...
Id suggest because he is a critter... you have more freedom with him as well..
