Description

�� On his Greetings blog essay, Paul Smith marks the NFL draft with his own experience of the US military draft. Here�s the Fantastic Four�s Thing toting a football. I love the image as it shows his powerful form and harkens back to Ben Grimm�s college days as a football star. The FF shirt even resembles a football uniform as well although the Thing has built-in pads. Paul is a Kansas City Chiefs fan so he�s been pretty happy the last few years. As this was posted before a shop update, I got a long look before any potential purchase. When the update came, I was ready to go and made it mine. Paul�s updates sell out quickly so there�s little time to ponder decisions. As a blog post, Paul shared the pencil prelim scan. Thanks to Gerry Turnbull at the Facebook Happy Trails, The Paul Smith Appreciation Page for the digital color scan.

Smitty drawing Ben with a pigskin?

Classic. Better than classic even- you could have this colored with whatever your favorite team colors are!

Like the heavy inking on the Thing. This is a touchdown everytime.

His 40 yard dash may be slow but he will be tough to bring down.
