Skippy

Some great, great poses on this Skippy page by Percy Crosby.
Just look at how Crosby handles his crow quill.
How he's twisting Skippy's body in a dynamic way.
Strong confident lines filled with ink and action. Me like!

The sample above is taken from Life, April 16, 1925.
More on Skipy can be found on www.skippy.com.

Hmm... Now that I think about it I might have some Skippy characters drawn by Floyd Gottfredson in my drawers.  Gotta dig 'em up.
