I suppose I'll eventually have to do one of these for CB+ now...  ;)

You have to pace the celebrations.  Otherwise, the comics get drunk, pick fights.  Nobody wants that.

Hi T,
DCM's b-day is March 28th.
DL was just showing off the fun ads created for us and CB+ in this old topic.
Sorry for the confusion.
;)

Thanks for the complements guys, I enjoy doing these oddball things every now and then... love the self-imposed creative challenges... best thing to help keep one's mind active.  :)

I love the poster I've squirreled it away for future use and I really like the C+B bit going on !

Glad you like it dude, I'm just happy to contribute in some small way to keeping the spirit of these old comics alive for future generations of readers who might be interested in them... as long as I don't walk into Walmart one day and see C+B or comiC+Book on a bunch of t-shirts and coffee mugs... not that we couldn't work something out if it came to that. :P :)  

Sorta kidding here of course.  

Actually, the original reason (challenge) for my doing the painting was to get some practice creating a somewhat original illustration from various photo references (thus working out and reconciling various problems with the differing perspectives, lighting, etc...).  Then I realized Halloween was coming up, and I had wanted to do something with that theme for DCM... ya know, to match the "love" and "crime" ones... but then I had realized I had half jokingly mentioned doing something for CB+ and so there you have it.  

The "C+B" bit was a doodle idea I'd come up with awhile back... that "dangling" trailing plus sign always bothered me for some reason.  Believe it or not, the "comiC+Book Plus" was a last minute thing that seemed to come out of nowhere, it was a contrivance that just seemed to fit and balance out the faux posters overall look... which somehow turned out looking like a movie poster(?!?).  Weird.

For those who haven't seen it, Crime...

Wow!

Now where the ***** did I put my red-blue glasses.

(Just sorry that the old Imageshack links lead to blank pages. Or, were you making some kind of all black statement?  :-\ )

Thanks... eh, I was going to take those old works down anyway, but I guess the Imageshack people beat me to it. :)

They're a pay site now, so I find it doesn't pay to use them when I have my own out there... so it is with my email, although I feel odd explaining the address to some folks.

Btw, if you're guessing, the characters are suppose to be Blue Beetle, Phantom Lady, Black Hood, Doll Man, Plastic Man, Captain Marvel Jr., Daredevil, Bullet Man and Bullet Woman, and Super Mouse... and of course The Spirit.

Well, if I didn't share it here where would I share it!  :)

Thanks Yoc.

Been awhile since I did one of these, still looks a little rough to me in a few places... might touch it up a bit if I find the time.

Thanks again DL.
I moved your gif to our own host so it never gets lost.  I hope that's ok.

I removed two frames from one spot and added one to Lady Luck's intro... I also cleaned up a few frames that had some odd dots on them.   As you probably know first hand, weird things sometimes happen when you reduce the image and then convert it to another format.  :)

I think it helped a bit to smooth out what I felt were some rough patches without adding a whole lot more animation... I'm not Walt Disney.   :)

I've changed the link back to point to this new version, but feel free to copy over the file and change it again if you want.  I have free bandwidth but limited space over where I'm hosted.

Thanks again D!
Oh boy, do I know what you mean about doing these gifs! 
The one with the rockets took forever but today it's one of my favourites along with our Xmas mice banner.

Your dedication to DCM is wonderful.  :)
