George Peed

George Peed was the 70s and 80s king of off - model. Check out Bugs' little hands.He drew tons of cartoon record album covers and they outraged me when I first saw them, but I quickly grew to love them.
The funny part is, these look accurate compared to the way they've been drawn in the last decade or so.
I love those donkey ears on Porky and Elmer's tiny wide set eyes.
Did you know that George is Bill Peet's brother? Bill changed his name slightly, but George stuck to his heritage.

I wish I could find some of the covers George did with Popeye on them. If you have one, send me a link! They're hilarious.

BTW, I drew a George Peed face on the sun in a ren and Stimpy cartoon.
Thanks to Tony W. for finding it for me.
