This is great. They asked the artist to draw their characters blindfolded (the artists, not the characters...)...all the details are there, just a little closer or further apart, but they're all there....

Some of them really aren't bad at all! That's real talent, huh!

The results are interesting; they sort of remind me of that famous nature film that I was shown in Health Class where they blew <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHzdsFiBbFc">marijuana on a spider and then watched him make crazy freaked-out webs</A>. I have to confess that I've not heard of half of these comic strips; However, for the sake of preservation I've scanned them all. In my opinion Chick Young's Dagwood and Chester Gould's Dick Tracy are the best, but Dixie Dugan's artist John Striebel seems like he wasn't even trying! <IMG border="0" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcUOtVEhI/AAAAAAAAA9w/3N-tZfzGYeg/s400/dixie-dugan.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084946956893360658" /><BR /><IMG border="0" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcbOtVElI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/4dd_yP6Nq0s/s400/steve-canyon.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084947077152445010" /><BR /><A href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcTutVEgI/AAAAAAAAA9o/dGn1okL_6kU/s1600-h/dagwood.gif"><IMG border="0" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcTutVEgI/AAAAAAAAA9o/dGn1okL_6kU/s400/dagwood.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084946948303426050" /></A> <A href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcUutVEiI/AAAAAAAAA94/lVjsItnzOts/s1600-h/gasoline-alley.gif"><IMG border="0" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcUutVEiI/AAAAAAAAA94/lVjsItnzOts/s400/gasoline-alley.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084946965483295266" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcVOtVEjI/AAAAAAAAA-A/dk7kHF_Xbxc/s1600-h/secret-agent-x.gif"><IMG border="0" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcVOtVEjI/AAAAAAAAA-A/dk7kHF_Xbxc/s400/secret-agent-x.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084946974073229874" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcVutVEkI/AAAAAAAAA-I/9Sw339DkH2M/s1600-h/smilin"><IMG border="0" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFcVutVEkI/AAAAAAAAA-I/9Sw339DkH2M/s400/smilin%27-jacks.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084946982663164482" /></A> <A href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFa-utVEWI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/x8l3wYgZRm4/s1600-h/Andy-Gump.gif"><IMG border="0" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFa-utVEWI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/x8l3wYgZRm4/s400/Andy-Gump.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084945488014545250" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFa_utVEYI/AAAAAAAAA8o/l8K-SkbA-Ag/s1600-h/Brandy.gif"><IMG border="0" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFa_utVEYI/AAAAAAAAA8o/l8K-SkbA-Ag/s400/Brandy.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084945505194414466" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFbA-tVEaI/AAAAAAAAA84/fLbN04gU_5o/s1600-h/dick-tracy.gif"><IMG border="0" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Bm_Fh0MDyGY/RpFbA-tVEaI/AAAAAAAAA84/fLbN04gU_5o/s400/dick-tracy.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084945526669250978" /></A>
