SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN! By KERRY CALLEN Here’s a recent commission. Sorta. I was part of a Kickstarter comic that launched the end of last year. As part of the rewards, I offered a few sketches to be drawn inside the book. One of the requests was for Doc Savage, who I had never drawn. I did the sketch and have since mailed off the book to its owner. BUT, since I enjoyed it, I wondered how a color piece would look. I only had a bad photo of the sketch, so I digitally re-inked and colored it. (All by hand. No AI. I hate I have to say that.) Here’s the photo of the book sketch: The Kickstarter book is called Orphan Works, edited by Bill Anderson. There’s a lot of great talent who supplied stories they had started, but for whatever reason, never saw it printed. Until now! It’s a fun book. Contributors will no doubt have a few copies at conventions this year. — Want more SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN? Come back next week! Want a commission? Send an email to KerryCallenArt@gmail.com.

A SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN birthday salute to JOE SIMON… By KERRY CALLEN I recently received a commission request to create a Captain Americat cover, which included Cap Cat punching “Kitler.” The request included a list of other characters to use in the background, as well as their evil organization, S.H.R.E.W. (Science, Hate, Reign, Exploit, War). I don’t usually give the name of patrons, but Geoff Holland was pretty inventive with his creation of villains and deserves credit. As for Cap punching Kit, I referenced the iconic Captain America Comics #1, by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon (whose birthday happens to be today). Considering some of the past commissions from Geoff, I’m starting to think he may be a “Marvel Tails” fan. Some of his previous requests included Spider-Ham, Hulk-Bunny, and Goose Rider. I’m a little surprised Marvel doesn’t publish an on-going Spider-Ham comic! — Want more SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN? Come back next week! Want a commission?
