Developing a Cartoon

This is one of the cartoons The Kid drew for Hector's Hectic Life in 1959. The first is an initial sketch of the idea and then it is followed by some detail and filling in work.




This is another example of development. (Keep in mind it was done in 1959 when homosexuality was still something seldom spoken of. In fact, The Kid was not even consciously addressing the issue. The Kid just thought it would be funny to have two priests acting like school girls in love. At the time the Catholic Church had been questioning and changing their stand on a number of issues, which is why the cartoon was drawn with the caption, "Look's like another problem for the Pope.)
