Nice! This earwick is much cuter than the ones I have encountered.

Don said...

Oh, the infestations! Myslef, I wish they were ALL in the lounge scene.. not in my yard, foundation, and every item touching the ground.

Funny stuff, though. :-)

Catnapping said...

ew! it's extremely ewwifying to find an earwig under your evening paper! every earwig in existence is expendible, and their extinction wouldn't bother very much.

EEEk this Earwick gives an Earful!

Entertaining Earwig not Earwick!!

Tony Sarrecchia... said...

Oops....that's what I get for not running spell check.

ecm said...

Ha ha! Very funny and well-done! Love the snap happy palette...:-)

Kay Aker said...

Yeah,those earwigs are real sleazes. You evoke that expertly.

Tony LaRocca said...

Ah, I'm not the only one who knew that earwigs are Bobby Darin fans...

andrea said...

An earwig! Now that's original. Very clever, Tony!

Caroline said...

The earwig has a lot of advantages doesn't it - all those fingers to snap and still one to hold its drink!

Very funny song too!

Nelly said...

Very very cool! I will be humming "Mack the Knife" all day long.

Brandi said...

Tony, this is just wild! Super creative! Love the wine glass in the hand, classic! Brandi

carla said...

This makes me itch just looking at it! He's got all those icky pincers...I don't care if he can carry a tune! As usual, you've come up with a funny, offbeat interpretation...I like it!

Wilnara said...

I'm snapping my fingers and singin' along! Go ahead Edmund! Sing it!!!! Love it!!!!!

Twisselman said...

Great illustration. A likeable earwig... not an easy accomplishment. Nice.

Paula said...

What a creative piece. Great singer you introduce.

Toni said...

You have a great sense of humor. This is a wonderful illustration. Watch out for those pinchers.

String said...

God you are weird! But nice weird! Now I have that song stuck in my head, thanks.

TXArtcGal said...

I don't know if I should laugh or scratch! LOL! Fun illustration!

steve said...

So that's what those little things are called! Always enjoy your humorous posts!

Alexa Brett said...

paula said...

Heh! Hey, is the earwig the same insect that was featured on an old Twilight Zone episode, the one where it's placed in a guy's ear and bores its way to the other ear? Makes me shiver!

Joe said...

Now ,how cut is that, to a snapy tune!

Jaimie said...

Fantastic! I love the shadows. what kind of imagination comes up with a lounge singing earwig? outstanding!

Ian T. said...

A fine piece of character design Edmund is (and a natural redhead too)! I really like how his pincers are standing in for legs, and I don't worry about his ability to defend himself against his critics :).

Karen said...

Great imagination. Love your comic style.

Ray Frenden said...

I didn't know Flash 8 did drop shadows. Learn somethin' new every day. Did you use a tablet to get the variations in line?

Andrea said...

AscenderRisesAbove said...

Very clever! Though I am not sure what an earwig is... but it sounds like I don't really want to know. ;-)
