Nice work.
The comic strip is pretty funny. And has a MD flavor to boot. Thanks jrf.
Can you explain why there are no animae cartoons that display asian features? Everyone that I have seen displays caucasion features. Only the great and powerful jrf can hold the answers.
Read the entire strip onthe web. very funny stuff jrf, very funny.
Actually Anime and Manga possess the unnatural power of the Dark Side and the characters morph according to the cultural milieu (how do you like that word?) of the viewer. Westerners see caucasions because that is the predominate image of the society. Asians see Asians. Africans see Africans. Turtles see turtles. Space Aliens see grey beings with big black bug eyes. It's all very confusing magic and I don't have time to go into it here.
Just trust me on this.
Leave Turtles out of this!!!
Just check out the garage kits that are made in Japan for the Japanese audience. All look like caucasians.
Garage kits?
GEEK!
Oops! Geek!? Look who's callin' da kettle black? I was right , that only you would know what a garage kits is?

You know, I think he's good, but I'm tired of all the comic artists that make it very apparent that they've never dated in their lives. Unless of course Cho is Mr. Stud (which I doubt after seeing THIS picture). Maybe that why I tend to gravitate more towards comic artists like Matt Wagner, Peter Gross, Ted McKeever, or Mark Hempel (just to rattle off a few). Don't get me wrong. LOVE women with big tits and the badonkadonk, but not all women look like that.
Matt,
I must admit, you have an excellent point about the va-va-voom factor among comic book artists. Cho does fall into this category.
However, what I like about Frank Cho, and what isn't well represented by the selection of pictures I posted, is that he has versatility in his styles. He can cartoon, he can do somewhat more detailed comic book drawings, and he can go full on classic illustration (Think Wyeth/18-th century magazine engravings, or Prince Valiant.) And his art is recognizable no matter what style he draws in. He obviously like the Linda Carter/Wonder Woman type ladies, but he is capable of more.
I happen to like pen and ink illustration quite a bit. It's a dying art.
You're right on; I should've chosen a more representative sample to show what I like about Frank Cho.
(That's what I get for using WWMD -- What would Matt Do -- to pick pictures for a posting! How wrong I was.)
