Jim Engel was A Great Individual. His Drawings actually always Contained a High Amount of Grittiness Way Better than Even the Fleischer, Disney's Doug, Codename KND, Pepper Ann (The Ovelapped Shading on the Neck, Arms and Legs are done even better here and less amateurishly by instead using thicker lines on respected areas) or Klasky Csupo (Ala Duckman, Aah Real Monsters and Rugrats.) Mike Judge Almost Matches Jim Engel's grittiness with his Beavis and Butthead Cartoons though.

And that logo Jim did for You is COOL and Apealling, i like the way the color was executed.

Nice stuff, per usual, from Jim, and it was even better with his comments. I went right by a lot of this stuff at that time due to limited funds, but I pick it up when I can.

Lysdexicuss: Yeah, it was great to get info straight from the horse's mouth! This was a real fun one. That cover was so cool. I didn't realize it was such a tribute to all of those great comic book artists until Jim told me. The cool thing was, I mentioned to him in my intitial email how much his style reminded me of those legendary 1940 greats, and then he explained the cover, with all his characters reading those very same guys! I loved that. -- Mykal

AWESOME POST~! What a treat to hear from the artist involved, Mykal. They did a great job with the cover, because, before I even read about it I thought it resembled a scene from a Max Fleischer cartoon~!

chuck: I enjoyed this one a great deal myself. Jim is a very gracious guy as well as a wonderful artist. I do need suggestions about some modern practitioners of the fine art of bigfoot comics, and I appreciate them! I'll be looking up Shaw and Gladden post haste. Thanks, Chuck! -- Mykal

Cool! I enjoyed everything about this post, Mykal....

Cool! I enjoyed everything about this post, Mykal. Kudos to you for bringing Engel into the mix, with some great info on this issue and his own personal reflections.

I am familiar with his work, but hadn't seen this story before. He definitely deserves to be included on your blog, and if you need suggestions for other modern day "funny animal" folks, Scott Shaw and Stephanie Gladden would be nice.
