I shouldn't have

For this, my 100th post to this blog, I decided to color an old comic strip that I drew!

I keep planning to start work on this comic strip again, and I thought that this quick color effort might inspire me to get going on it finally.   The simplicity of the comic didn't make for an elaborate coloring opportunity.  :)  


The characters shown are Willy (in the red shirt), a man of refined taste in horticulture and victimhood, and also Nuisance (in yellow) shown in a rare mood of environmental appreciation, and about to get bird poop in his hair. 


The original comic is drawn in India ink on paper.  By scanning the comic into the computer, and setting the ink lines to "Multiply" mode in the Corel Painter 11 program, I am able to paint color "behind" the lines in an easy fashion (without accidentally painting over the lines).  Here, I've eliminated the original hand written text, and added a computer font instead.
