News You Can’t Use
Elmo endures the full force of an entire evening news broadcast and is just a little worse for the wear.
Today’s web bonus image is an old Russian airplane done in an old fashion manner. Most of the drawings and illustrations that I do have a lot of help from the computer. This one, however, is done entirely in a traditional fashion (well, I did have to scan it to be able to show it to you). This one was done with a pen and ink outline and then colored with Windsor and Newton art markers.

The news of doom is common these days.
Two props on each engine? That’s strange.

I am kind of weary of the news.
Contra-rotating props were the way to generate more power before jet engines completely overshadowed the propeller engines. Amazingly, many of these planes are still in service.

I don’t think METV even shows the news. Just a lot of really old programs that are a comfort to an old so and so like me.
This is the first I’ve ever heard of a contra-rotating prop myself. Great work, Howard! Flawless marker work. I never could get markers to work that well.

I don’t watch much TV anymore. But when I do, I do like the older stuff, too.
You are just too young to remember contra-rotating props! My maker work is far from flawless, but thank you none the less! I am certain that you could do just as well with the marker. Just get the good ones with the fine tips and remember that the is no Ctrl-Z 🙂 .

Just check the headlines and get off there!

More excellent advise. Clearly, Elmo is suffering from News over-exposure.
