My Cartoons
I have a collection of cartoon characters that I present to you thusly.
A lot of these characters were created by me, James Scotto-Lavino, or
Sean Lydon. We drew a lot of comics together in high school. All of the
following pictures were drawn by me... a while ago.
Anvilman
Anvilman is a character created by Sean Lydon. He has an I-beam type thing
for his head, and an "I" on his chest, but his name is Anvilman.
He's a pretty stupid character, but fun to draw.
The Baseball Bat that Hit People
I think he was created by Sean. He's one of our
oldest comics. Basically this bat hovers around and decapitates human
beings. He's technically evil, but he's actually a pretty nice guy.
FishPukeMan
I created this character at MIT. He is supposedly
composed of fish vomit. I'm not even sure if fish do vomit. He's my
favorite guy to draw because of his smile.
I even drew a comic and submitted it to MIT's
humor magazine,
VooDoo.
(It was published
in the Winter 1994 issue.)
Herman, the Eagle-Eyed, Whip-Wielding Idiot
James Scotto Lavino's creation. This character
is incredibly stupid and fights villains (or whatever he perceives as
villains.) He is the deadliest man in the world with a whip, and his eyes
telescope outward and allow him to see for miles.
Joe, James, and Sean-
Yes, these are cartoon versions of the three of
us. We have eight composition notebooks full of these drawings, and
eventually we became
main characters in our own comics.
I also have a larger
picture of us, as well as the inside front cover of
book 7.
The Library Squad
These people fight for truth, justice, and
the elimination of overdue bookholders.
Saber, Flash, Brain, Shadow, and Faces. I created these characters when I learned a friend of mine
was a member of his school's "Library Squad".
Majickal Mistery Moronn
James Scotto Lavino's character. This guy is
supposed to be colossally stupid, yet is not.
Nimbo, the toy robot
My character. He was a toy robot but has an endearing tale about how
he was brought to life. His sole purpose seems to be to tell people his story.
(Not unlike people who spend a lot of
time writing home pages.)
Panelman
My character. This guy was invented as a lark
a while ago when I thought it would be nifty if one character could open up
and travel outside of the cartoon panels. He was originally a very
sweet-looking
innocent of sorts, but eventually his power made him realize that his life
was
fictitious. He went insane for a while.
Pueblo, the last dinosaur
My character. This was originally supposed to be a parody
of Denver the Last Dinosaur, a cartoon character from 1989 or so.
Whereas
Denver, a dinousaur in modern day America, befriends children,
Pueblo, more realistically, eats them. No that's not a building on his head.
Okay, yes, he seems to be smoking a cigar in this picture. He's trying
to quit.
Theta Doubledot
My dude. This guy was born in my undergraduate
controls
class and has been following me around ever since. "Theta Doubledot" is
basically
a measure of angular acceleration (like what happens when you change speeds
on your
record player if you had a record player).
Anyway, seeing this little smiley face in
my notes eventually wore away at my mind and I promoted him to full cartoon
status.
You should see his nemesis, the evil Theta Dotsquared.
The Fokin Bitch Project
- This is a comic I drew about me, James and Sean.
Another Bunch of Characters
- In my freshman year I drew a picture
of my dorm-mates.
It was a parody of our
1992-3 Entry Photo . Please, compare and contrast. I am the one with
the shirt that says "Universally Stupid" on it.
