Dopey dealers at the Brighton Pier !

Its them dope dealing Furry Freak Brothers.  Legends of the underground comics press scene from way back in nineteen hundred and... I can't remember when, but was a great read by Gilbert Shelton, published by Rip Off Press Inc'.  Imagine if now in this socio-politically corrected climate, this fabulously incompetant trio together with Fat Freddy's iconic cat, continue their happless adventures here in the UK. I have re-imagined them as they run from the Brighton bus, depicted in its local corporate livery.  That's the premise for my Poster (size A3).  As I worked on this picture, it grew into a bit of a homage to other greats of the cartooning world, Gary Larson of The Farside among others. Have since removed the copper as he just wasn't working there.  Anyway, here's a close-up portion, click image for full resolution -

Lovely framed on the wall.  That's my presents sorted for this year!
