Description

For you young'uns in the audience, the Flaming Carrot, created by Bob Burden, debuted in 1979 with a short story in Visions, a limited-run comic anthology, and later moved to his own title, Flaming Carrot Comics, which was published by Dave Sim's company, Aardvark-Vanaheim, in 1984. The Carrot's origin: "having read 5,000 comics in a single sitting to win a bet, this poor man suffered brain damage and appeared directly thereafter as�the Flaming Carrot!" Here, Burden teams up with Cerebus creator Dave Sim, to produce this sketch, titled "Scratchy Ink Thing from Beyond the Stars." Drawn in pencil and ink on a sheet of 14" x 17" illustration paper. Ut!
