DIM-WITTED DARRYL THE EARLY YEARS







Here are some vintage Dim-Witted Darryl drawings. Some pre-date the release of the book, while others (mainly the sketches) were done while working on the series.

A significant difference with the original Dim-Witted Darryl drawings and the current design is the "slice of pie" eyes he now has. It gives him more of a classic 1930s feel mixed with a contemporary cartoon style. I also chose to axe the single tooth sticking out of his mouth. Though, it probably made him look more like a buck tooth hillbilly, I prefer him without it.
