Pearl Hart PG?

[Bob Boze Bell]

August 9, 2012

   Had a blood test this morning and had to fast until nine. Not fun, but kept busy and tried not to think of coffee or food. Actually accomplished quite a bit and wonder if I did this every other day, how much more successful I would be. Nah. Slightly irritating that doctors don't do blood tests anymore, at least the ones I go to. They farm it out to a company called Sonoran Labs, a specialty lab that has boo-koo offices around the Valley and you have to go THERE to get the damn test, which they charge me extra for and then send the reports to my doctor who charges me to look at them. But hey, there's nothing wrong with our health care system that triple charging can't cure.

   Got to the office at 9:30 and whipped out a black and white of Pearl Hart receiving a payoff from the governor to leave the state.

Of course, this may look familiar. It is, of course, poached from my color version of the same scene which I did for our TV show Outrageous Arizona:

I realized this morning I have done the Lady Bandit a couple of times. Here is my first take on her, done about seven years ago:

And here is my black and white version which ran in True West Moments:

And here is an actress portraying Pearl in our TV show Outrageous Arizona:

Posed her in the back of the True West World Headquarters. I guess you could say I have certainly beat this topic to death. Ha.

Also, reworked my Wyatt Earp character for our upcoming graphic cinema:

This is me doing more blocks of black. Not too bad.

Bob, in the drawing of the governor and Ms. Hart, they look like they're standing on different levels. I would white out the bottom of Pearl's skirt, and then redo it, making it a bit shorter, so that it comes down to somwhere between the Guv's feet. 

I like your dour, slightly paranoid, Wyatt Earp!

Murray, the governor is standing on my name. It's so clear to me. Besides, he was the kind of guy who would stand on an artist's name to get an edge or reach a little higher. Really pathetic behavior. I'm talking about the lack of height perspective in my drawing, not the governor.

Bob, it's also possible that the governor ran so fast along the slippery train platform to catch Pearl Hart and bribe her to leave the territory, that he began to hydroplane!
