Introducing BATVARK GIRL!

Benjamin Hobbs:

In 2019 I began writing a Christmas themed CIH? #1.  As of this writing, it's not finished. In a post-Covid world, some of the jokes don't land right. So the rewrites roll on. One element of that book that escaped into the other CIH? books is Batvark Girl!  

Here's the drawing I sent Dave:


 He sent these notes:
And these:
This is the drawing updated to include Dave's notes:

Batvark Girl will debut in BATVARK: A POET IN THE FAMILY #1, on sale in 2022!

 Next Week: Giant Size Public Defenders #1 Variant Covers Progressions Part 2!

I just put her on her first page surrounded by 180,000 words which is a sure sign Dave wrote this entire issue.

Currently I'm constructing an abomination of nature that Dave has dubbed: Batvirgil

Coming in April 2022 and you only have to save 400 pennies this time.

It was recently suggested in the Cerebus Facebook group that Dave teach a course in cartooning, and I agreed that could be valuable. Dave never drew the female form well, but he seems able to critique others' drawings. Interesting to see; thanks Benjamin H.

Surely Batvarkgirl would simply take the premise of PENIS in a different direction? There must be some classic stone boobs that could be ... borrowed...

"Barvark"?

Love it. Obviously the house band will need to record a song to promote Batvark Girl to the tune of the Dead Milkmen’s “Punk Rock Girl.”. Looking forward to it.

Kinda. Sorta.

I once knew a guy in Dallas whose (pretty damn good) band was named Sorta.

I think that all of us guys know what that means...
