Is this the dog of Casablanca? He somewhat reminds of Humphrey Bougart indeed, especially the hat and the piano. The dogs looks a bit lonely and sad. Might be because his beloved lady left. And such is the freckle finger of faith. Well than, play it again Sammy-dog.

Well hello there MK. Been missing seeing you around.

Musta missed this piece when you posted it. As always I am so impressed w/ how careful you are w/ your details....piano keys....bottles of booze lined up along the back of the bar. Great colors...and that dog's face could be a photo it's so realistic.

Hope this means you'll be posting again. Like I said- good to see you.

Deborah

Mark what a fabulous Bogart dog! This is outstanding art in every way. Truly amazing with the hat and club atmosphere.
Really wish I had a six to give you! This is a winner in my book! Love your incredible detail and character.

Well, Mark, I love your art. I just don't have time to review as I used to. Work gets in the way. So, a rebel? You? lol. As always, your work made me smile. Instead of Bogart is this Dogart?

I love this pet portrait. The hat on the dog is so private eye Mickey Spillane. I love the bar with the candle lit tables. No one ever suspects the piano man as the private eye so the cheating spouse will definitely be caught when she comes in. Is tha buckle a secret camera?

Brilliant cartoon, Mark. The detail you draw is fantastic - the piano keys showing great perspective, the little bottles on the shelf, the expression on the dog's face and eyes. Great use of colour and light and shade. Excellent work. Suzanne

Comment from El-mundo


A brilliant choice for the competition and superbly drawn, with excellent and sharp precision, a fantastic background given the title (well chosen!), with the old style tables scattered about the 1940's nightclub, a simple white tablecloth and matching red candle on each one - the bar in the b/g creating good depth and perspective, as well as adding to the visual stimulus colourwise, and finally "Sam" himself (is that right?! lol), looking dapper in his trilby style blue hat and yellow jacket with red tie to finish off the outfit nicely. The details, shading and tones of brown through to black used in the face of the hound are sublime, a true testament to a dedicated and varied cartoonist, great work :)

Lol love the fedora! This is the cutest! Presentation and visual impact are creative and interesting. Wonderful use of color. Color harmony works! Love the pops of red! Highlighting and shading are skillfully rendered. This makes me smile!
