#23 and #24 – Mister Neat and Mister Tidy
I grew up on spooky English shows where budget’s were pretty non-existent and the props people had to be inventive. For some reason this made the ordinary always seem more unusual for me.
I was channel a combination of Roger Hargreaves Mr Men books and the television show Sapphire and Steel on this one – and Jonathan got the vibe instantly!
The art is from an unused page in issue one of The Hero Code – something which was re-worked and dropped, but might make it’s way into a future issue.
Very often, it’s not the design, but the concept behind the characters that attract me. I love these two on concept alone, but the designs are kitschy (and therefore attractive) too.
Thank you – they are a really creepy pair to write, so I’m hoping I do get to use them at some point.
