Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Things of note in this one: I not only added Usagi Yojimbo to this piece, he's the white rabbit with the top knot in the inflatable raft, but I also added Jim Lawson's frog, Orson, from his comic Bade Biker and Orson. The comic books Usagi Yojimbo and Bade Biker & Orson were two of the biggest art influences on me when I was in grade school.

In the final printed version of this piece (see below) Usagi was changed to just a plain white rabbit. Cindy and David caught me on that one!

Peace, maka

You real old-timers may recognize Chuck from the Fantagraphics issues of UY. He was a regular contributor of art. He has since gone on to become a very talented freelance cartoonist, with regular gigs for Highlights magazine.

I check onto his blog quite often, but had not seen this.

Thanks, Maka.
