Along with Big Deal just the very best of cartoonist you can find.
I think he STILL does it for Street Rodder, must be 40+ years now.

Looking for something else, found this...

Reminded me of the old Super CC cartoons from Custom Car mag.
Am I right in remembering he drove a Jensen Contraceptor?

Yes, he drove a Jenson!
There was an excellent write-up on the artist who did the Custom Car cartoons in an aniversarry edition about a year back.
He drew them on a large board (flip chart size) and walked them into their offices each month.

Real skill and not a computor in sight.

I'm sure our KS will remember well!

The Bell cartoons were of another 'persuation' and I marvelled at the shape and draftmanship of all his work when I had my Ford Y Type chopped hot rod in the early 70's.
I think he and Thom Tayor invented many a style such as the Phat Fords and phantom body styles, truely inspirational and influential.

I too tried my hand at this form of sketching and even sold some at early Hot Rod shows when the Y type was on the CC stand at ally Pally....such great days in the 70's.

sorry!
