Anytown, U.S.A.: The Merry _______ Marching Society!

More of War of the Independents #4 in progress. These are the thumbnail and roughs of the bottom of p. 3, in which Zippy the Pinhead, Mr. Spook, Felix the Cat, Gumby and Pokey, and The Tick look on as Archie/MLJ characters parade down Main Street. What era will Betty, Veronica, Jughead, et al, evoke? Something retro for sure. Stay tuned...

Here is the tissue overlay where I have begun refining the foreground characters, who are onlookers to the parade. Super Duck is coming into focus. Mr. Spook, Pokey, Gumby, Felix the Cat, Usagi Yojimbo and The Tick are in the lower right.

Here is the initial pencil rough. Josie and some of the Archie cast can be made out, but need to be tightened up considerably.

Here is the thumbnail sketch of page 2 (posted previously on this blog) and the bottom of p. 3. These crowd scenes are a real challenge to choreograph, but fun (and are bound to please all three fans who still remember Super Duck!)!
