Good Clean Fun
Admiral Lord Nelson famously said, "No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy." The first lesson of the Infamous Girlie Cartoon Artists School is similar: that when devoid of any ideas for a cartoon, no artist can do very wrong if he places his surprised nudie cutie alongside a bathtub. Note that the hair remains perfectly coiffed--a girlie mag gag gal's hair only becomes wet and stringy (to match the angry look on her face) if she is interrupted at her bath to answer the knock of an annoying neighbor, a door-to-door salesman or an unwanted suitor. Note as well that the first thing a spicy humor hottie does when stepping out of the tub, even before reaching for her towel, is to step into her high heels. It is attention to these sort of details that separate the true artist from mere dilettantes such as Titian, Rubens, Ingres, Courbet, Manet, Monet, Van Gogh, et. al. I am perhaps indulging him because he is my favorite, but I feel these other so-called "masters" could have learned a thing or two from pinup pioneer Pierre-Auguste Renoir. No matter how much HIS bathers splashed around, THEIR hair was never wet (or, if it was, it was stylishly so), and if they were barefooted, one is inclined to believe it was not the result of any misplaced devotion to unnecessary realism on the part of the artist, but rather because high heels had simply not been invented yet. Finally, showing mademoiselle's derriere in the mirror is not de rigeur but it is de-lightful, and a trite title is an absolute must.

Thanks, guys! All compliments are appreciated, but those from REAL artists even more so! And, Gordo-8, it's been a while, but yes I did--I do like his style. It's kind of the Archie and Harvey style artwork I grew up on, with a nod toward manga.
