[challenge entry] My retro themed Christmas card for this year.

Other Shag fans will notice that it's composed out of a patchwork of his pics, plus a bunch of other stuff I either adapted or made up myself.

From the b3ta Christmas Cards challenge. See all 159 entries (closed)

I'd have a look at your contextual link, but I'm not clicking on anything with that url at work :o)

# Don't worry the link is OK.
Josh Agle AKA Shag's nickname is derived from the last two letters of his first name, and the first two letters of his last name. It's all fairly SFW.

# Cheers. I've always liked the style.
I think R&S creator John Kricfaluci and Shag are influenced by 50s cartoon artists like Bob Clampett, Gene Deitch or Mary Blair (from Disney). Like how Steely Dan are influenced by Dave Brubeck, R.I.P. It was Brubeck's recent death that gave me this idea.

# i love the 50's cartoon style art
especially those ads with happy housewives wielding dusters, they always make me laugh. my siser's got one with the motto "a clean house is a sign of a wasted life"

my mum has just asked me, in all seriousness, if stag's skulls dropped off with their antlers and if they regrew new skulls
