It's been a while coming, but the wait was worth it. Rock Baker's Cartoon Cuties #7 is another adorable smash in the acclaimed artist/storyteller's Creek Bend saga (enhanced with edits and lettering by Jim Ludwig).
For #7, on her trip back from Britain, Doris endures a work-heaped vacation, as she prepares for a Queen of Space role (along with its many stimulating costumes). Jeannie Baxter takes part in a steamy photoshoot, followed by a hapless stint at tennis. Minerva Mallen, meanwhile, deals with pizza-publicity woes, which in turn result in a lively, home sojourn involving Wendy and Mala. The underdressed Trixie and Dixie slip under the hot lights, and Yvette must struggle with saucy pictures that could crash her career. Last but not least, Crissy and Roger get an unexpected visit from betrothed cousin Rosie, in what becomes a most welcome reunion.
I can't praise Cartoon Cuties enough. Baker's brainchild holds a precious, throwback style, which captures classic Dell's carefree appeal, with a raconteur zeal that mirrors the best, moral-based sitcoms of old. In this age of consistent cynicism and despair, we need more products like Cartoon Cuties to boost our morale. In this regard, it warms my heart that Baker intends to keep his darling Annies thriving for years to come, and soon (by gosh) through an official, indie run.
For now, enjoy the splendor of #7 by ordering at
