A US artist has turned himself into a comic by having blank panels tattooed on his arm – which he fills in every day.
Patrick Yurick wanted to combine his love of comics with an unfulfilled desire to get a tattoo.
The perfect opportunity presented itself when the 30-year-old from San Diego saw a coupon deal for a cut-price inking.
He said: "I have wanted a tattoo for over a decade but could never commit to a design.
“I am too picky with my art and being married to one single design on my body was always a tough decision.
“I decided on a four panel format as an homage to Bill Watterson, author of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.
“Sometimes I get in one or two a day and sometimes I just don’t have enough time to finish them and I wait for a really great idea.
“I do take the comic seriously though. My ultimate dream with the whole project is to generate a couple hundred strips and take the 50 best and make them into a high quality picture book.”

I recall that Bill Watterson retired from doing Calvin and Hobbes because he felt burned out. Having been a fan of POGO before Walt Kelley died, I feel that Bill has the gentle sensitivity to bring back Pogo. As for Susie, good for you.
Years after graduation from high school I saw the ickiest, homliest girl from grade school… Beauty is only skin deep but her skin was was so thick I couldn’t imagine how she could move.

Thanks, GretchensMom. Happy Halloween to you too. This year I’m going trick-or-treating as a tiger. (Same as last year……)

I wonder if she’ll remind him of that on their wedding night?
