The Lion Sleeps Tonite is an even more extensive reworking. It was drawn for Tom Tiffin in 1989, as part of his one-shot A5 compilation Bizarro True Crime Stories. In May 2024, I added these colours and devised a cover by collaging around in the computer. For most of this year, I’ve become obsessed with trying to replicate the halftone printing you used to get in 1960s American colour comics; some call it “Ben Day dots”. I’ll probably explore this subject in another blog post, but suffice to say I believe I have found a way to approximate the halftones, and the four-colour printing process, using The GIMP (the open-source alternative to Photoshop). For Lion, I just used yellow and red, but even so I’m delighted with the gorgeous orange and pink screens. How will I fare with four colours? Watch this space!
