Cubert - Do Your Strip!
I was asked by Jérôme Poloczek to submit a character for a comic strip project he is running called "(DO YOU DO YOU) DO YOUR STRIP!". It's essentially a teaching aid to show kids how to draw a character.
Unfortunately the city of Brussels didn't provide funds (this was part of Printemps de la bande-dessinée), but it looks like the project might happen in another form (or perhaps in Brussels in 2009).
In any event - lots of amazing cartoonists from around the world are involved so keep your eyes peeled in Europe!
This is my little guy, Cubert.
Cubert sure is a great character :) Fun strip, too. When I was a kid, I loved Ed Emberley (and still do). His step-by-step drawings and books are great.

That is really cute! I love the step-by-step panels.
This strip is particularly sharp; refined, even. In a good way! Really nice "inking". The paneling and design of the entire thing is really impressive. I love the concept of becoming a monster: so many little kid's fantasy, don't you think? Instant GROWR, scattering the other kids. Take that, potential bullies and their toadies alike!
Like it or not, Tweeds, you really are becoming an accomplished cartoonist!
