BUBBLEWORLD VOLUME 1
Welcome to the very first installment of a series of three panel strips I’ve aptly titled “Bubbleworld!”
Bet you’re excited, aren’t you? No? I used an exclamation point…didn’t that help any? No, it didn’t have any effect? Well, can you at least pretend to be excited? For your old pal Steve? Come on, what’s it going to hurt? You can? Cool, thanks, I appreciate it.
My goal with the “Bubbleworld” is simply to showcase the work of some of the people I’ve met during my first three months or so on the site, and to show my appreciation of them, and admiration for their work in the only way I know how…
By poking fun at them.
(What can I say, I’m an emotional misfit.)
First on the chopping block is the good Mr. Dave Edwards also known as BLYTHART
(For a larger image click the picture)
Dave is a man of many artistic talents and seems to be a hell of a nice guy to boot. Hopefully he enjoyed my little comic.
Here are just a few examples of Dave’s work that I used as inspiration for the above piece. (Click for a larger image)
I’m going to try and do a new one every couple of weeks, some sooner, some no doubt later due to my amazing ability procrastinate. I already have next weeks edition ready to go so expect it next Monday.
If anyone out there wants me to feature them, just let me know via. Bubblemail and I’ll see what I can do. It might take me a couple of months to get to you but I’ll try my best.
Steve~
Lee Kerr

Steven Novak replied
Thanks Lee! Enjoy Daves stuff, he’s good at what he does!
Shannon Rene' ...
lol, you crack me up!
Steven Novak replied
Better than pissing you off I suppose. ;)
TeriLee
You are certainly my favorite emotional misfit…this is great!
Steven Novak replied
Funny, that’s the exact reason my wife married me. ;)
Jan Piller
Oh man .. you’re strange…..
Steven Novak replied
Even if that wasn’t a compliment, I’m taking it as one. ;)
Jan Piller
hahahahaha!!!
Rhana Griffin
This would have to be the most novel and creative way I have yet seen here to promote others work.
Damn you and your brilliantly creative mind Steve shakes her fist in the air and yells to the sky DAMN YOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Steven Novak replied
Save your loud “damn youuuu’s” for next week. ;)
BLYTHART
Steven … you have made an old man very happy. Last week was my first solo exhibition and this week I am featured in a cartoon. To top that I expect at least a knighthood next week :))
Steven Novak replied
Like I said before Dave, no thanks necessary. Thank you for having such a good sense of humor about it. As for the knighthood, first Elton John, now you. ;)
BLYTHART
Sorry … clicked twice in my impatience to make my comment :)) Wipe one off please.
Marilyn Brown
I agree wholeheartedly with Rhana. Excellent job Steve!
Steven Novak replied
Thanks Marilyn!
Ine Spee
Ooooh, this is great! Love the comic! Such a cool and unique way of featuring the work of others. And yay for Dave, he deserves the attention because he’s a super nice guy and his art is great! =D
Steven Novak replied
Dave is a nice guy, isnt’ he? Maybe a little TOO nice? (Cue dramatic music) ;) Seriously though, thanks! Glad you liked it!
Karin Taylor
...I’m sure you can take the mickey out of me Steven, i’d love to be featured!!!! heheh
...it’s really funny…i love how you took Dave’s art and ‘tied’ it all together like that….haahaaaa
Steven Novak replied
I’d be more than happy to take a stab at the good Ms. Karin Taylor. Oh, I’m not going to draw a comic strip…I’m literally going to stab you. (wow…that was a weird joke) ;) Seriously though, you’ll get yours eventually. ;)

Well done Steve and congrats to Dave ! I wonder if he will still talk to us when his in internationally famous.. course he will !
Steven Novak replied
He won’t talk to us. In fact, if we try to contact him in any way he will no doubt attempt to have us arrested. ;)
Kathryn Pedroza

Steven Novak replied
I’m pretty nonchalant in real life as well. ;) Thanks Kathryn!
BLYTHART
I like the “too nice” comment … tell my wife that next time I forget to do the housework and start making feeble excuses and getting crabby.
