Walter & Danny Start Out to Go to the Beach, But Instead — No, Wait, I Don’t Want to Give Away the Plot

May 28th, 2013 · 2 Comments

“Walter & Danny Start Out to Go to the Beach, But Instead — No, Wait, I Don’t Want to Give Away the Plot” was one of my first cartoon slideshows, first unveiled in 1985 or thereabouts.  It has since been refurbished.  Danny became Benny in later adventures in publications edited by Danny Hellman, so that readers wouldn’t think I had drawn a poor portrait of Hellman.

In this epic tale, our two heroes decide to go to the beach, find out it’s raining, and go to the zoo instead.  Overwhelmed by the number of animals, they decide to look at them in alphabetical order, but can’t think of an animal that begins with an L.  So they go home.

Here are a few panels:

    Many thanks! The poor lads: methodology is tricky.
