Cartoon Museum Sketches

another trip to the Cartoon Art Museum over at SF, to work out my left biceps holding my notebook for hours. At some point, a group of 30-40 youngsters/students poured into the museum. All. At. Once. o_O;

Check out my copying skills (sarcasm). From left to right...

Moonshine Holler, another piece from The Thrilling Adventure Hour collection;
Cactoid Jim, Emilia Earheart: Fearlss Flyer, Captain Laserbeam

Colonel Tick-Tock, Sparks Nevada (should have longer legs..);
