Charles Dickens

by David Reddick

WARNING: VERBOSELY WAXING POETIC: The black and white version (the strip runs in black and white in some newspapers) of my author soulmate, Charles Dickens, from a recent strip. I really liked how the black and white turned out. Feels kind of authentic. Channeling perhaps (in my dreams) that elusive and indefatigably visual spirit that hovers ever so unobtrusively around Dickens’ written word, and one of my artistic heroes… Hablot Knight Browne, known as “Phiz” to Dickens’ “Boz.”- David
