Artist's Comments

Here's Kelly Welly again, in full, glorious color.

For those of you who do not partake of newspaper comic strips, Kelly is a character from Mark Trail, a godawful nature-themed strip which has been around for several decades (and got stuck in the 1950s or so). Kelly is a photojournalist for an outdoor magazine, but mainly gets herself kidnapped, chased by bears, etc.

The dialogue (balloons, lettering, and all) is lifted directly from the strip.

-------------------UPDATE----------------------
And if you, too, like newspaper comics (or like to make fun of them), be sure to check out the highly hilarious Comics Curmudgeon: [link] ...without which I probably never would have thought to create this pic (don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing).

This is so fabulous.
I love how awesomely bad the comics of yore were (holy frijoles, Rex Morgan, MD, I'm talking to you).

You have such a subtle and delightful sense of humor. I am smitten. :D

Hee hee - thanks! You might like a funny website called The Comics Curmudgeon: [link] which lampoons the daily comic strips... with an especial fondness for all the old soap strips trying to hang in there (including Rex Morgan, Mary Worth, Apt. 3G... all of which, for some reason, still exist).

Thanks, I appreciate it! :) :) Kelly is such a trouble magnet..
:iconemstone:
And I am blushing! Thank you, so glad you like it :)

Who wears short-shorts?

Anyway, when I saw this the first thing that popped into my head was: 'Wow, that looks like a page out of an old school comic book... only without the suck!'

I like the beaver in the corner there, he looks annoyed.

:O_o: I love this little guy.

I think I might be ashamed for thinking that picture is pretty hot..
