The Great Green Vs. Purple War (1984)
Hope you enjoy! I didn’t seem to put a lot of work into the cover illustration, or illustrations in general, to be honest! I can remember scrounging up, then using up, every green and purple felt tip marker I could find for this project. Hope it was worth the effort…
NEXT came the credit page; I seemed to think this story needed it. As you can see, I gave myself quite a bit of credit.
To be honest, I really don’t remember the production or editing processes, or the copyrighting, for that matter. But hey, I DID dedicate it to baby brother! That was nice. Okay, on with THE STORY! (With limited interruptions.. OH! And subtitles! Oh boy!)
AUTHOR’S NOTE: There’s always got to be a “BUT,” doesn’t there?
AUTHOR’S NOTE: WHAP!
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Naughty Greens! CLUNK!
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Naughty Purples, too! Sheesh!

SMILE! GOOD FOOD WILL GIVE YOU GOOD TEETH!
Of course, if you haven’t got teeth to begin with, this rule doesn’t apply, sorry.

Drawings from Wayback…
First, a couple explanations:
1) Never took any drawing or art courses. (You DON’T SAY!)
2) I have never been able to draw much of anything without having an example of it to look at. So if the picture is giraffes, say, rest assured I looked up giraffes in every encyclopedia and magazine I could find, so I could draw the various poses.
3) I was raised with 2 other brothers and not a very big budget for art supplies. Thus, a lot of stuff is on the back of forms my Dad brought home from the School Board that would have been tossed, or on notebook paper, etc. We learned to make use of what we had, and that was cool!
Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
I vividly recall my next picture. I had an orange flyer from the mail with a blank side, and knew I had to take advantage of it. I also knew I couldn’t ruin it, since there wouldn’t be anymore orange paper. SO, I drew Daffy on notebook paper, colored him in, cut him out, and pasted it on the flyer. (With mixed results.) Ta da!
When Rocky III came out in 1982, I was still Lil’ Gary, trust me. I snipped a pic out of the newspaper and TRIED to duplicate it… again, with mixed results…
I know what you’re thinking: “DONNIE OSMOND was in Rocky III?!?!”
