Description
Like my Watchmoose piece, this was a mash up of two of my favorite icons--the classic Pogo comic strip and Star Wars. The idea was suggested to me at C2E2 this past March by "Transylvania Television" creator Gordon Smuder, and I drew a smaller version for him then. Afterwards (again, like Watchmoose) I felt I could do a much better job with more time, reference material, and some digital coloring. I feel confident that I accomplished my goal. This will also be a print that I'll be selling at cons this year, and I can't wait to take it to the shows!Related content

P.S. Now I have to find my Pogo books. Then I won't get anything done for days, and it'll be your fault. Thank you!

Holy crap, that's awesome. Hm, if Pogo is Boba Fett, I wonder who would play the other Star Wars characters. Maybe Churchy LaFemme as Luke and Simple J. Malarkey as the Emperor.

So who's next? Darth Henry? (+100,000 geek points to anyone who remembers that strip.)

He's that little bald kid who said nothing and hung out with Betty Boop in her crappy Post-Code Pet Store.

Then gimme my geek points! Henry was the inspiration for Little Lulu (and a billion geek points to anyone who remembers her, in her original comic STRIP version, no less)!
