ROCK BAKER'S CARTOON CUTIES: CUTIE HISTORY IS MADE!!!

Rock Baker's Cartoon Cuties #1 is now available from InDellible Comics. Baker's lovely creations are always in demand, and this new entry has been gaining exceptional attention, based on the teasers the artist/storyteller has shared. 

With Cartoon Cuties, the prime characters are designed with ample anthropomorphism, but even with their forest-creature attributes, they exhibit physical, "human" appeal: Think along the lines of Disney/Warner Bros cartoons meet Benny Hill, but even that doesn't do justice to Baker's unique, crossover enticement. 

The comic's premise revolves around Creek Bend, which houses a toon studio (C.B. International Pictures), where its inhabitants (often referred to as "Annies") interact with human stars. In many ways, Creek Bend is a veritable, Hollywood counterpart, but (I dare say) much more talented and fun by comparison.

The stand-out character is Crissy Carrots, a pretty, bikini-clad, bipedal bunny. There's also her shapely, mousy pal, Daisy Poise, a cutie of equal stature. (In fact, she's a sort of Bettie Page/Marilyn Monroe equivalent.) Minerva Mallen is a major honey-and-a-half, as well: without question, the sexiest skunk I've ever encountered.

Then there's Roger Ralphwitt, a sorrowful wolf whose amorous intent gets him into loads of trouble. Pepe Le Pew move over... (Say, maybe ol' Roger should give Minerva a whirl!)

Baker's panels are a joy to behold, brushing vaudevillian cheer with pin-up vivacity. Jim Ludwig does an excellent job with the coloring and lettering, embedding a vibrant flair that recalls Dell, Gold Key and Harvey Comics. 

In addition, #1's stories present adventurous engagement. However, it's not the "Watership Down" or "Lord of the Rings" kind, where catastrophic contention intervenes. Instead, Baker establishes a breezy yet basic, mature mythology upon which he can (and will) expand.  (Portions of Issue #1 reminded me, in fact, of classic Archie Comics.)

I'm quite confident that Cartoon Cuties will appeal to all readers.  (From what Baker conveys, #2 and #3 will be just as great. Can't wait!!!)
