Welcome to "Name That Toon!" sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo friends and the Bacon Bits Design
Team are bringing you a dozen fun creations that depict comic strips! It might
be our favorite, or just one that was fun to design. If you arrived here from
Libby you are in the right place! If not, you might want
to start back at the beginning at the Hambo blog to make sure you are eligible for the hopper
prize!
To tell you the truth(and my age), it has been MANY years since I read a comic strip much less read a newspaper that could to afford to carry a syndicated comic section! But when growing up, I always got a kick out of "Beetle Bailey". I don't know if it was because of a guy being named after a BUG or if it was the cute doggie named Otto, but it always was a hoot.
Now, HOW APPROPRIATE that here at Hambo we have a lovable mascot called BAILEY! Because of that, I chose to use my Bailey digi called Bailey Hugs in place of Otto's and think it turned out so cute. I printed out a busy comic strip for the card's background, colored in the title, and featured 2 colored printouts from the internet. Worked Bailey/Otto around a little bit, colored him with copics and there we are! Aren't the gold star embellies and the dog bone twill ribbon cute!
