The Imp Anthem!

From the 1930 movie "Follow Through," Ms Zelma O'Neal (no relation) sings the Imp Anthem-- "I Want To Be Bad!"

Of course, we all know that, Now as Then, such Naughty Impulses must be properly addressed!

Especially is your Imp is improperly dressed.  

No, no, no, not like that at all!  That's always good.  I mean, like wearing girdles during a spanking:

(And you know she did that on purpose, girdles are really hard to find these days!!) 

Or like stealing your fella's favorite T-shirt and then getting it all stretched out of shape.

Or breaking Tops' Toys

Or, for that matter, breaking Tops.

Or carelessly wearing very expensive jewelry to Pottery Class.

Or spying on the neighbors like Gladys Kravitz..

Or sneaking off for a snooze when you're supposed to be doing outdoor chores.

Or cutting off the tops of Van Johnson's socks and trying to make him believe you're too young to know that was wrong. 

So-- you Imps had better play your cards right

Or the Gobble-uns Wolfies'll git ya 

Ef you

Don't 

Watch 

Out!

 

More Wolfie Beach Fun: Original Art!

There's a Revealing Detail from one of the latest WolfieToons at "DISCIPLINE & DESIRE!"  

I thought it might be fun to show you some of the original black-and-white art for other "D&D" beach-themed cartoons! 

The beach party almost doesn't need the lettering and gag!  (But just so you know, he's singing, "Wild Thing!  I'll make your butt sting!")  The next one, though, is kinda bare without more:

So:

For some reason this particular gag has been a favorite of cartoonists for a long time;  here is my first pencil sketch for it. 

Then the inked version, which-- perhaps appropriately enough-- has been slightly water-damaged.

And now, the finished cartoon:  

Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
