Last Christmas I gave you a card...

Our 2005 Christmas card effort was very well received by friends and family, and that's as good an excuse to present it here as any. So never mind all this overrated summer heatwave nonsense, the bleak midwinter can be hot as hell...

Here's the back:

Saucy secretary

Everybody likes a saucy secretary. So here you go...

Like the one with the Tommy gun, she's a character study for "Böse Mädchen".

Teenage Caramba

Crimefighter Wanda Caramba, normally depicted as a buxom thirtysomething, this week can be seen at a tender 18 years of age...

This is just a sketchbook tryout and no storyline featuring a teenage Wanda is planned. Although, looking at the sketch again, it doesn't seem such a bad idea...

Another girl, another gun

This week's woman is one of Wanda Caramba's adversaries, namely Bettina Schwarz aka Black Betty.

Completion of the story featuring Black Betty is not exactly at hand because of too many other things that need doing, so the best I can do for the moment is give her this humble stage.

I throw in this profile which nicely highlights her slightly decadent facial expression, I think. Mmmh.

Gals and Guns...

... always make for a seedily attractive combination. Here's a sassy lassie and her Tompson...

She's a character study for a monthly one-pager called "Böse Mädchen" (Bad Girls) for German GQ Magazine, which never got past the development stage.
