Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
This is funny. Molton is just a whiner and a partisan lackey.
Nice work. I liked the nod to Mad magazine there. A while back I noticed one of Mr. Brown’s cartoons doffed the hat to R. Crumb via the artwork, but I wrote it off as just a coincindence. Now that I see he does imitations (or impersonations?), does he take requests?
I’m hoping for a cartoon in the near future impersonating The Family Circus’ artwork, or maybe even a snide allusion to Molton’s style?
Man, this takes me back.
Well done, Brent! I’m sure that Don Martin would be flattered. I’m glad you included Fester Bestertester in panel 3.
Fester Bestertester, Karbunkle………Dawk!
Brebro, you have outdone yourself!
Can we get a Furry Freak Brothers?
I AS A CARTOONIST AND AN ORIGINAL ONE….THINK IT IS NOT A RESPECTFUL NOD TO DON MARTIN CAUSE HE GAVE NO CREDIT….THOSE CHARACTERS ARE HIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.IN THE FUTURE MAYBE A TRUE SHOUT OUT TO THE ACTUAL CREATORS WOULD BE COOL…OTHERWISE IT’S THEFT…THE VOID OF CREATIVITY.
I have followed Mr. Brown’s artwork for 30 years.
If there is anything he is NOT lacking, it would be creativity!
He is probably one of THE most creative people I have ever known.
He is obviously paying homage to Don Martin here.
