dave the cave

Dave the Cave was a character I put together for a local magazine that we published as part of my first business.

Dave is a semi-intellectual type stuck in a caveman's body. The first three sketches were warm-ups.Without sounding too much like a twat, one of the things I really like about sketching stuff like this is using the edges of the comic strip as part of the drawing. You can see the kind of stuff I mean in Plinth.

The whole comic strip (bottom image) appeared in the first issue of the magazine sometime in 1995...
