Great stuff Max. I love how the hitler moustache appears on the poster of her face in the later panels.

Is it just me, or is she really starting to look like this guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_Burns)? Really long Blonde hair is not very flattering on a woman her age.

yah. she should definitely be wearing a bun and granny dress at her age!

I see your point through the sarcasm, Sadie, but her hair emphasizes her whole "Monty Burns" look. She's trying to look stylish but this look doesn't work for her.

There are plenty of 45 year old women (and older) who look great with a youthful look. None of them are named Ann Coulter.

EXACTLY!!

and thanks.

If you feel charitably towards me, it is important to my stupid ass career to tell all your friends to slavishly read my stuff. The more natlamp is covinced I have a following the more chance they will help me feed my children.

It's all about the children.

I believe they are our furture.

Haha, very nice Max! Very nice indeed! I love the picture in the background slowly morphing into something more Naziesque. How do you do those cartoony images of people that you've been doing in your comics lately?

[mburbank]

It is mine own technique, although I'm certain other people have done the same thing. I pick a photo I like as a model and put it into photo shop. I then add a layer over it, and draw/trace their features somewhat more cartoony fashion using the photo as a guide. I then delete the phto, color the image to suit and finish by flattenting everything and using a noise filter, which I find pulls it all together.

Once I have a cartoonified image, I can re-use it in any panels I want and add slight modifications, which saves time and also gives it the very static quality I like.

In the Tom Cruise piece, I was able to find a whole slew of screen captures from a Larry King interview and that was great. I'm not suually that lucky.

I invented this technique while working for Hustler magazine doing a strip called "Angry Girl Darcy", which I can now reveal since they fired my ass. I think it may have been because darcy never got naked or put anything up herself, and if she had got naed, she would have had pubic hair. I think they sensed that.
