Tillboy

  The Right DANDY of Doom! This tip of one hat each to Rea Irvin's Eustace Tilley and Mike Mignola's wonderful Hellboy began as an (unsubmitted) entry to the New Yorker's annual Tilley contest a few years back. Halloween seems as appropriate a time as any to -um- resurrect him.

Dandy Bookends

Some of my entries for the New Yorker's 2011 Eustace Tilley Contest.

If TNY made bookends like this, I would SO buy a set (budget allowing, of course).

Congratulations to all the winners! I wasn't among them this time, but I thought I'd bury that down here.

Housetace Tilley, a reinterpretation of the New Yorker's famous mascot drawn for this year's Eustace Tilley Contest.  It didn't win, but I sure had fun making it.

The One That Won

I should explain. There are twelve finalists in the New Yorker's Annual Eustace Tilley Contest, which challenges readers to reinterpret Rea Irvin's design of the magazine's mascot dandy. My entry, "Schach Treatment",  (above) was one of the twelve winning designs for the 2009 competition, and it's the only one of my entries that ever made it to the finals. (These aren't actual New Yorker magazine covers, just designs conforming to the contest's parameters.)

I Think; Therefore, I Yam

One of my entries for the New Yorker's annual Eustace Tilley Competition, depicting the then-imminent expiration of  Popeye's European copyright. This one didn't win, but it was, at least, discussed briefly on the Comics Journal message board .
