Care for some Tart?

A few months ago, I got this character in my head, and I couldn't get rid of her. She wasn't like a lot of the relatively cute stuff I do; she kinda reminded me of some of the comic strips I used to draw when I was a kid. They were totally uninhibited and completely lacking in taste. But they were a blast to draw. And so I let this gal in, and then I let her out.

I suppose that this is the closest I've come so far to creating something that I'd like to see in a graphic novel. It's not deep, it's not intellectual, it's not dark and it does not involve any lonely guys who masterbate too much 'cuz they can't find a girlfriend.

She's not as nasty as Bitchy Bitch, but she's definitely not as sweet as Tina from Tina's Groove. She's selfish and self-centered; not stupid but certainly not an intellectual; she's foul-mouthed and drinks too much and is probably a little too easy.

Behold my answer to the modern woman. Behold the new bad-assed broad on the block.

Behold Tart.

Oh Patricia, she is wonderful!!

Being a little Tart-like is a good thing!
Because "selfish and self-centered; not stupid but certainly not an intellectual; foul-mouthed and drinks too much and is probably a little too easy," makes for an interesting character (and woman).

I love the contentment she shows in the final frame.

Please....bring us more Tart!!

Ok, now I'm totally torn. How should I choose between Tart at inner peace, beside the booger besmirched yoga guy and poor, deluded physicist screaming his frustration at the man who appears to be at least a little closer to brad pitt?

Of course not, she's a concert Pianist.

I am linking to this, so all my 3 blog readers can enjoy your genius.

Love the Tart!

(Also I'm a little freaked out, because she reminds me a lot of someone I know! If you do any animated specials, I'll give you a name for the perfect voice actress.)

Tart is great, as are you.

Nice day today, sorry about the running.
