Ionicus

Two examples of the work of Ionicus (Joshua Armitage), published 34 years apart. The first is from 1954 and taken from A Century of Punch, published in 1956. I love the look on the guy's face sitting on the sofa. You can almost hear him thinking, "Hmmm...". The next page is from Spitting Image-The Giant Komic Book, published in 1988. Check out some more of his work here.

Ionicus in Punch

A bit of a change. Hey, it's my blog, I can do whatever I want with it. Ah, the power!

I love Ionicus's linework, it has such a nice feel to it. These examples come from The Punch Cartoon Album by Grafton books, 1990.
