Illo Friday - Spotted Dick
April 24th, 2006
A week or so ago, the Illustration Friday theme was “Spotted” and my first thought was of that British raisin pudding called Spotted Dick.
(No, really, there IS such a thing …. See the dick here.)
However, I didn’t feel like drawing a can of suet and sultanas. But I still loved the sound of the name.
And then I thought of another dick, and what he would look like when he got really really old.
And then I chickened out from posting it on IF, because I don’t want to end up on a blacklist for offending everyone. I am such a wuss.
So I hope you all enjoy this Spotted Dick head, in honor of pudding enthusiasts everywhere.
Karen you crack me up! This is way better than crying! If Air America were visual, I’m sure yuu’d have a job there.
You made him look so snarrley
WHAT A HOOT, Karen!! Glad you posted it — spots and ‘friendly’ (AHEM) face!
*wild applause* It’s perfect!
Looks like his spottiness could well be attributed to the fact that he himself has been peppered while out hunting.
Great expression, that’s so clever!! That’s a funny site too with all the English foods - spotted dick shouldn’t really come in a tin!
Love it. I will never think of “spotted dick” without associating it with the big dick in office.
Ah hahahahaha! You made my day!! Leave it to the Brits. I have to delete all the rest of my comments.
What a hoot. I needed a laugh today. Thanks
Kwinttie, you were way too kind. It’s more than he deserves!
He looks as spotted as a leopard, another animal of prey. Great, Karen!
Oh this is fabulous! I think you should submit it!!
