ROCK BAKER'S CARTOON CUTIES: TIME FOR ISSUE #3!!!

Rock Baker's Cartoon Cuties #3 is now available for purchase from InDellible Comics. As with the previous issues, this one's filled with bubbling spirits and Cutie charms, as those amazing Annies of scenic Creek Bend once again grab the spotlight.

For this issue, we're served such Cutie personalities as Crissy Carrots; Daisy Poise; Beverly and Jeannie Baxter; Yvette Pond; Sugar Chestnut; Honey Garner; Misty Carter; Lois Teppert;  Mala Winston (who's tossed into a most revealing set-up!); and (my personal fave among the Annies) Minerva Mallen (joined by the wondrous Wendy Marco) in one of the craziest Annie adventures ever. (I, for one, will never look at coconuts the same way again!) 

Each and every story is molded to give one the giggles, while warming one's heart. It's all part of Baker's artistic and storytelling skills, as he succeeds in mingling sexiness with contagious innocence.

In addition, Baker's panels, enhanced by Marc Haines, Jim Ludwig and Rusty Gilligan's colorful assistance, do a stand-up job referencing comics of the past, when many were published for the sole sake of making one feel good with their identifiable concepts and vibrant visuals. How gracious of Baker and his collaborators to get readers back to those precious basics!

I can't recommend Cartoon Cuties enough. Issue #3 only increases my need to praise Baker's merry creation all the further. 

Hop on the Cartoon Cuties sensation today:

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!!!)
