I dunno if it's age or what it is, but I'm finding it difficult to draw at ACO scale these days. it's a strain on my vision, and my hand is in pain (even on the best of days my art is bad enough on its own without being encumbered by additional handicaps). :p Such is one reason I've not been uploading as often as I used to.
This is my practice sketch of Dick Dastardly and Muttley. The card is very dusty, but I didn't want to redraw it ...so here it as, as-is.
Dick Dastardly and Muttley were the villains of a few Hanna-Barbera shows, but this iteration represents Dastardly and Muttley from the 'Wacky Races' series.
'Wacky Races' was about what you'd think a show with such a title would be ...but here's a clip, anyway (link tested 10/08/2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uU6KzAbSTg
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "It sucks, just like most of your art ...but, anyway, I thought you were drawing monsters, ghosts and such this month"
Villain characters are good for featuring in October. Anyway, if you don't like my scribbles, don't look (seems easy enough).
Pencil...
The featured pencil is a 'Mean Machine' promotional pencil.
Viewed from a slightly different angle, as the pencil appears in its bag (I've featured most of these already---I love that 'Old Forester' pencil): https://sta.sh/028hatkiy9q2
Disappointingly, the pencil isn't referencing the '*Mean Machine' from Wacky Races ...but whatever, right?
*technically, Dastardly's car is 'THE' Mean Machine
Truth be told, I've no idea what the featured pencil is advertising. ^^
I researched 'Mean Machine' trademarks and copyrights. I also looked at logos and other such: real-life funny cars and drag racers, etc., etc., but couldn't find anything relevant. Closest I came to a lead was a listing for some old *Atari pencils, along with some misc. pencils which included several 'Mean Machine' specimens (that featured different cars).
*dude had a Kangaroo 1984 pencil ...I want one, too, now. :P
Thinking I should look to the gaming world for leads, I discovered there was a game (for the Commodore) titled 'Mean Machine' ...albeit, it has nothing to do with whatever this pencil is referencing. :p
If these two cheated less, they'd win more. They've blown a solid lead more than once. (And a lot of the other racers have gimmicks that come awful close to cheating methinks.)
No Casper, he has less lines! If these two cheated less, they'd win more. They've blown a solid lea
Casper ...Hm. Well, I drew Harry/Hairy Scary either last year or year before last ...as well as Casper's pet: Ferdie Fox (how obscure is that!?), but not Casper himself. Perhaps this year will be different ...perhaps not (only time will tell). :3
I've seen a few episodes. My favorite WR character is Sawtooth. :3

Believe it or not, that's a TRULY blank page. Years ago, a glitch happened and I kept it---there's actually no file there at all (ie, if you right-click, you'll see there's nothing to save).
