BOBSTER JOHNSON
OK, so this wee fella is possibly the last (for now) from the Bobified HELLBOY Universe. Everybody's favourite shellfish inspired wartime superhero, Lobster Johnson, brought onto the pages of this ere blog. Not sure who/what to do next but have a list of requests to rifle through - keep 'em coming! Also, if you do have a BPRD character that you think will work, lemme know. Am sure there are some folk who check in on this blog who haven't a clue as to who Hellboy or the other characters are (in fact, if that's the case, may I direct you to your nearest purveyor of fine comics and towards the collected works of Mike Mignola and Guy Davis... you will not be disappointed.)
Busy week ahead of me as Wednesday/Thursday I'm speaking and holding workshops as the UK's Bradford Animation Festival. Sounds like it's going to be a hoot so am looking forward to it, having not been to this particular festival before now.

Love your takes on these characters. Particularly like ol' LJ here. Very nice.
Aw man, that's ace!
If you feel like adding BOBzaro (uh, or should that be "am not wanting BOBzaro adding to list"? Never could get the hang of Bizzaro speak) don't let me stop you.
Very smart ! Are these going to make an appearance in the next Bob the Builder direct to DVD story ? :)
You'll need to do a Wendy as Liz Sherman.
You going to do coloured versions too ?

My Favourite! man, this series has been great. Nice work sir.
Hey all you good, good people! :-)
Breadwig - cheers for calling in my loafheaded friend!
Paul - BOBZARRO would be a great spoof of the yellow helmeted builder...
Glazy - can you IMAGINE a BPRD/Bob crossover in preschool TV? I bet you probably can. No plans to colour these.
Brain, Alexei, Sam and Alex-8 - many muchos gracias, chaps!
