Sketch o’the Week

I had grand ambitions of doing a nice sketch of Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke as Holmes and Watson for today, but that is just going to have to wait until next week. The day is already getting away from me.

Therefore, above is a “Sketch o’the Week” cop out: a very rough sketch for one of the two page spreads I did for the “Bo Confidential: The Secret Files of America’s First Dog” book for MAD I have been posting about here. If you read any of the posts I wrote detailing the story of haw fats this book was produced, you would understand the very rough nature of this sketch. Incidentally I found out yesterday that the actual release date of the book will be September 21st, which is several weeks earlier than the original date of August 10th. Alas, it’s not early enough for me to get copies in time for the San Diego Comic Con, but I will have them at another upcoming appearance I will be making the next week, the official announcement of which is impending.

Oh, and here is the final art based on that sketch:
