Jeez, I remember that magazine...and Children's Digest, which was for kids a few years older.I used to draw animated cartoons in the margins, turning the magazines into flipbooks. Simple stories: monster chases guy, monster catches guy, monster eats guy, monster pukes. No wonder I'm twisted today.

I'm another scaredy-cat about Humpty. He gave me nightmares. But the other critters are wonderful, especially that Wood Duck, or Merganser or whatever it's supposed to be. Damned fine skunk, too. But a mammoth egg wearing clothes, running things, always with that gaping maw, well... that was just too much for this kid. Also, it just made no sense for an egg to be so much bigger than everybody

Are there other drawings by Dan Lawler on the net? After a quick google I only found other Humpty Dumpty images :)

I have a question that doesn't really fit anywhere specific: Was there a certain effect (digital or otherwise) which you used to make Stimpy's melted body look the way it does as it drips from Liquor's hands in "Man's Best Friend"? I just watched it and I noticed that it looks REALLY different from anything else in the whole series.

Fantastic techniques, the sled one especially is really cute. Humpty Dumpty himself, however, is a disgrace to God.

Humpty-Dumpty's mouth is going to give me nightmares till the end of time.Especially that first pic, in which it appears to be covered with the blood of his last victim.

I'm with Mr.Plank on this. I just find these creepy. These would have scared the bejesus out of me as a kid. That filthy laughing egg... there's something not right about him. Not right at all.

"I was born when he scribbled on me. I died when he forgot me. I lived a few days while he loved me." The short, happy life of childhood ephemera was never really meant for later, was it?

Definitely some nice illustration on those books. Little creepy, but good.It would be amusing to have someone actually pursue the kid, now adult that scribbled on these and scold him.

Maybe the kid loved them soooo much he was trying to copy the style by tracing it? Sadly yes it was over the top and his motor skills were crap but maybe he is 60 now and he can paint brilliantly, I hope, might make them more valuable.We've all done it.They're Awesome!

Are you serious? this is hardly pretty, man! This is the exact style that creeped me out when I was little. It still creeps me out. Something's just a little "off" about them. Particularly Humpty. That is a terrifying smile.

AAH! Those are great!Thanks AGAIN for posting the most inspiring goodies on the net. Is this the same artist that was famous for the series of monkey illustrations for calendars, etc. or am I getting my wires crossed?

Are you kidding, John? It's a grand old tradition of comic book collectors that when you buy an old comic you see all the really old drawings nd writings on it from years past.There's nothing that makes me more wistful then when I see an application a little boy filled out for Sea Monkeys 50 years ago. That kid must be 60 years old now. Name: Timmy, Age 8Address: 345 Main Street, Hamilton,
