Bully's Sketchbook: Roger Langridge

Mr. Roger Langridge! He's one of my favorite comics writers and artists. I remember his work first catching my attention in one of the old Amzing Heroes swimsuit specials. Did he draw Wolverine with water wings? Thor in a thong? No! His contribution was the cast of the much-beloved (by me 'n' others) BBC 1950s cult classic radio program The Goon Show at the beach!:

You can catch Roger Langridge currently writing and drawing issues of the relentlessly delightful The Muppet Show comic book from BOOM!, or, as Mister L. himself describes it: "currently drawing pigs in wigs and socks with ping pong balls glued to them to earn a crust."

So, y'know, if he can draw felt frogs and plush pigs...surely he can draw a little stuffed bull, can't he?

A: Yes he can.

Thank you very much for the sketch, Roger Langridge!

If you wanna see more of the work and art of Roger (and why wouldn't ya?), book yourself a room at The Hotel Fred, Roger's blog named after his sad-sack, lovelorn comic character Fred the Clown. Or, buy his stuff...you know you want it!




Roger Langridge: he's great, and he makes me look great.

That's terrific!

Did you see the Fred-as-Thor doodle I got from Roger Langridge at SPX?

I didn't know Phineas T. Freakears was on The Goon Show.
