This is the first comic where I show you guys the 'new' Ben. I wanted to have him a little more expressions. Since a year ago he became almost a stick figure. He had no nose and his eyes were always just two dots. So now he's more human and I can express his face more. I also tried to make the height difference between him and Mojo and Merv a little less... but that was harder to achieve.
Really enjoyed drawing Lurch. He's a pretty iconic person, so I had to google what makes Lurch Lurch.
I really enjoy how it all turned out. Had some help from my friend Jeff Couturier to tweak the text... but I guess it turned out nicely this way.
Also... don't forget to drop a comment, since the next drawing of the Monthly Sketch Giveaway will be next Sunday!

The new Ben looks interesting. Can’t wait to see how you use him more.

Thanks mate. It took a while and I think he will evolve and gets tweaked here and there, but glad you like him 🙂

I really like the new Ben, you are right, this does allow for more facial expressions. Great job on Lurch. I remember as a kid answering the door as lurch, I just loved that show. The movies were OK, but the TV show was one of my top ranked growing up.

Yeah, I really missed the possibility to play with Bens facial expressions. Guess I now can make more use of that 😛
I always loved Lurch, especially the line: “you rangggg?” ^^

I liked the simplicity of the old Ben. I think this one needs a little more work. Good luck! Love the comic.

I also liked the simplicity of the old Ben… but he didn’t really fit with the rest of the crew. He kinda was too simple, in my opinion.
But I agree… this is just the beginning, he will need some work.
Thanks for your love for the comic 🙂
