I’m a huge fan of recycling cartoons and will often use a the same character in different settings. I also like to save background to use again, particularly if they’ve taken me some time to draw.
In this article I’ve selected three different backgrounds and made a few notes about some possible ideas for cartoons based on them.
The Remote Castle
Some possible ideas:
add a monster (I always like to add a monster if possible!)
a vampire’s layer (okay, so folks might count that as a monster…)
add a long car that curves as it goes around the bends
The Train Interior
Some possible ideas:
have an animals sleeping on the bench
have something coiled around the pole
add a bizarre background outside the train
The Mountain Top
Some possible ideas:
alternative mountaineers
a bizarre building in the background
add a yeti (they’re not monsters in m y book…)

I put out a Cartoon Newsletter containing a whole host of creatures and critters. Add your name and best email address to the orange box below, and I’ll wing a copy your way.
