For this #HumpdayHutchinsons entry, we’re looking at the marquee figure for Joe’s wild cartooning: Looney Bird!
Joe’s work is so diverse…yet remarkably consistent…that it was hard to pin down an iconic figure for his body of work. Yet Looney Bird, with that slightly off-center look of his, rose to the top.
So here’s a tale of Looney Bird, remastered and colored by brother Daryl:
Hee hee! Gosh, I love Joe’s cartooning.
If you got a chuckle from this one, there’s even more! Daryl remastered every Joe Hutchinson story (including another Looney Bird story!) that we could find related to animals and packed them into a single volume — Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM! 124 pages, colored for the first time in a glorious full magazine-size package. It’s wonderful. A true Phoenix Masters project, to be sure.
