Saw this pose on a poster for a play the other day, and drew my memory of it.

Women in Bathing Suits, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI’ve not been drawing tons. Trying to settle back into things, and relax. Cartoonists on Twitter are helping me do this, mainly through examples of their work. The figure in blue is mainly copied from a Love and Rockets comic panel. I think i like getting more into cartoony oddness, but enjoy trying to make […]

The Apparition of These Faces in the Crowd…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, women…Petals on a wet, black bough. Face sketches I’ve been doing, on the Metro, and at parties. Sometimes from TV!

More Gag Panels
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedI think there are more, but I can’t find them. Should have pretended I was reprinting them from some long-dead Men’s or Family magazine. And this popped up on Twitter just as I was writing this post, and I can’t resist: http://mikelynchcartoons.blogspot.com/2011/01/saturday-evening-post-scrapbook-part-24.html

Gag Cartoons 1
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedI wrote and drew a few gag cartoons, which my pal Rick Gagnon inked in his usual impeccable way. We submitted them to Reader’s Digest, who wasn’t bowled over, so they found a home in Rick’s zine, and now are here on the web. Jeff Leblanc did the masthead. Hey, I was aiming for humour […]

Metro Colour
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenStill really haven’t gotten the blog back on its wheels since the holiday break. I have a host of excuses! Mainly busy with work and stuff. But there are some interesting things coming up! That’s if I’m not distracted by twitter, or doing meaningless graphics in illustrator. Happy to be making at least a little […]

Coffee
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedToday’s strip is called “Coffee.” I think it was inspired by this machine at the Ontario Science Centre, that said the word “coffee,” and you could alter the inflection by turning a knob so that it sounded like a question. I wonder if that machine is still around? This was originally published in my friend […]

Cats and the Creative Process
By Jack Ruttan in catsHere’s another of those old strips of mine. Worked on at the comic jam, mainly by Rick Gagnon, over my scribbly pencils. Hence the odd faces here and there. Still funny, though. I’m running out of these, but have a few more tricks up my sleeve before I’ll have to start drawing stuff again.

Mistake Boy

Social Darwinism
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedAnother old comic from 1994 or so. More completely inked by Gagnon, but this was before he had completely figured out my style, I think. I’ll do more new comics, I promise!

That Whistling Guy
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedI’ve been taking it slow over the holidays. Not doing too much. A lot of pencil drawings on scrap paper I’m not going to bother to scan. Getting back into working on things, though. One part of that effort was to go into my archives, and rescue some old strips which might be good, but […]

More little Pics
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourI like ones with background detail better. But a pal of mine said I like to clutter things up. That’s all right.

Teen Car
By Jack Ruttan in ruttan's place, sketchesWatching Gran Torino with an old Clint Eastwood put me in mind of my teen car. Much less impressive. Built a scale model of it, which I’ve kept on a shelf, and you can see on my tumblr space here. It was a 1974 Mercury Bobcat, not a Pinto. That’s about all I want to […]
