Personal Project, Caricature/Cartoon. Pencil.

I suppose these would be the very first Grenades Caricatures from the old WB! LOL!
Grenades: Masanori
Grenades: Romey Rome
Grenades: Davey D

After hours, we brazenly used the conference room table for a Ping Pong Tournament (Dave's idea, of course. He bragged with his big mouth that he was better than me at the game. HAH!). The table dimensions were all wrong, but we made do with it anyway. Office brass actually were tickled to discover our unorthodox antics, and occasionally even participated. Good old days, then...

Masanori inaugurated the Tournament officially by keeping chart records of victories and "skunk" stats. He eagerly enlisted in the competition to defend Asian pride(despite the game's British origins), and even returned from a vacation in Nippon with a more authentic paddle, or "bat" as our British colleague, Matt, referred to it. Matt, now an artist at Disney, was a welcome and hilarious guest addition to our matches.

These caricatures were whipped up as mini-logos for us, the main participants. Dave kicked it off with his own self-portrait doodle, which I finished up. Then I drew myself and Mas to complete the comical trio. Yes, Dave would wear that backwards Jiffy-Pop hat. He had infinite combinations of stylish wardrobe and headgear, a haberdasher's dream...or nightmare. LOL! It's a wonder we didn't all bust a rib laughing our days away at the WB.

Who was the eventual champion? Hmm... Would BroHawk care to truthfully divulge the outcome? AND the winning margin?

Great story!

If I may empart a tale of my own: It just so happens that I work at Carmax (part time) and they have a ping-pong table there, too. Carmax has people from all over the world working there: mostly Africans and Asians, some American blacks and whites as well.

Anyway, between selling cars, I was trouncing a few folks back there at the old ping pong table and in the heat of the moment, in all my egotistical glory I said," I'm going to line everybody up according to ethnicity and whoop every ass from whitest to blackest."

Well, one of the more "distinctly pigmented" Africans didn't care for those sorts of remarks (especially after I added that he'd be at the back of the line). :blush:

Almost lost my side-gig behind that... :fear:

Beer, and the vessels that contain it is too sacred to be used that way.


LOL!
