The Pirate Bait

Saturday Leftover Day. Busy week for me. Not only am I finkishing up the treatment of the movie I am writing, I also am preparing the launch of a crowdfunding on the Dutch site Voordekunst to bring back the classic Dutch comics magazine Pep, which appeared from 1962 to 1975. It is calle Pop Nu! (Pep Now!)and will contain 80 pages of new material by artist who ustarted career in Pep and newer artist who were inspired by them. As you can imagine, this is a lot of work. One of the new features will be a new pirate strip, as raugh and raw as we can get it, by one of my favorite Dutch artists, Fred de Heij. Fred sent me this publicity image, which I would like to share with you here (and here only).
