My friend Woodrow kindly lent me some of his old comics to read, so for today's morning sketch, I copied the cover of one of them. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/banana_gang2-6e5c4e1550.gif\">\\r\n\\r\nThat was fun! If I get more time, I'll try to add some texture. I still need to find out who drew and inked the original, it's not easy to find anywhere in the comic and the \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_thunder\">Wikipedia entry\u003C/a> lists lots of Johnny Thunders.
