#beaky buzzard

October 28th: Do you faintly remember a character from maybe your childhood? Don’t look them up, and try drawing them from memory. THEN, if you like, you can look them up and try drawing them with the reference, or simply display an image of them to show us how close you got!

Ah distinctly I remember, a certain carrion family member. With dopey eye and silly banter, like "Nope nope nope." while bashful he stare upon the floor. Uncertain I scribed from the visage in my mind, his image upon the board. This was definitely not Beaky Buzzard, this was truth and nothing more...(felt Poe-ish today)

in truth mine (left) looks like a cross between Beaky and a Donkey Kong video game enemy then the Looney Tunes character

It’s that time once again for @davealvarezstudios-blog ’s LOONEYUNE prompt challenge, and like with last year’s drawing challenge, I’ll only do a select number of prompts. For the Bob Clampett prompt, I decided to draw one of his creations Beaky Buzzard interacting with an actual turkey vulture.

Did you know that the word “buzzard” was used to refer to hawks, but when Europeans settled in North America, they started to use that term for birds indigenous to the area such as the turkey vulture?

FOUR COLOR PORKY

FOUR COLOR #16, 1942

Dell Publishing Co., Inc

"Four Color was basically Dell Comics‘ catch-all title, sometimes a try-out. sometimes one-shots, sometimes licensed properties, sometimes things that would be spun off into their own series, sometimes a combination of all of them. Never with any frequency, and eventually the numbering was inconsistent, it lasted for about 1354 issues over a span of 23 years..." continued
