What the..? You might need to read this page a few times to get what the hell is going on! Hardly anyone (out of the entire population of the internet) ever looks at this site. It’s not quite the phenomenon[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Old and wobbly. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I drew these ones. They’re so weird looking! George was going show the kids this, in 1977! – until the studio reined him in Punc-tua’tion! Again, I begin to doubt that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Art (?) Notes “BEN KENOBI JEDI-NIGHT” This most juvenile of all of the pages must have been drawn in December 1977 – or very early 1978. I’m astonished at just how rudimentary the drawing is! You could be forgiven for[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
