I drew a couple pieces of #VaughnBode #Fanart for fun in my sketchbook. If you aren't familiar with his work, this might seem weird. If you are familiar with his work, this might seem weird. It was the 70s.
Gray tone ink drawing of Vaughn Bode's Cheech Wizard. Cheech, a wizard hat with legs and little crotch bump, is walking. "July 22nd 1941... 2:22 PM... Hmmm..." and "I is a truly special hat... unlike you, who is a wet cabbage." Gray tone ink drawing of a Bode Lizard and a Bode Broad. She's a naked curvy woman lying on a blanket. He's a cartoon lizard sitting behind her. Liz "And I is sooooo appreciative of dem juicy wet cabbages!" Broad "Food?" Now... Bode called his cartoon women "broads", which is of course a somewhat offensive term. But I submit that his intentions were always pure and always horny. A sexually liberated transvestite pansexual in the early 1970s during the height of the underground comix movement? And you expect him to be delicate? Not a chance.

It has always bothered me that Cobalt 60's saw tooth brass knuckle knife's blade is backwards. But I am not one to question such a dangerous character's methods. #VaughnBode
Snip of some Vaughn Bode drawings of Cobalt 60 from 1968. A white masked figure, shirtless, with a kind of under the vest gun belt. Drawings of his weapons include Wolf Carbine 45 cal, Snub Nose Revolver 45 cal. Koat, and the Saw Tooth Brass Knuckle Knife.

Ran a #BX #DnD game some years ago and made this class for it based on #VaughnBode lizards, with his art. Fun! Low XP, like a thief, with little abilities and a lot of attitude. This one is for that Venn diagram of folks into B/X and Bode at the same time. Salute, ya cabbages! #OSR #lizard
An old school B/X D&D style character class description of the Lizz, a lizard class. Art by Vaughn Bode, class based on his lizards. Here's the text. Tables probably won't format well. LIZZ You a righteous one. You a boss. You a lizard. RESTRICTIONS Your Prime Requisite is spunk, but that don’t matter. You got all the juice. You fight like a Thief and top out at level 7. You can use little bitty weapons like daggers, short swords, and little bows. You can wear armor what was made or modified to fit ya, but you ain’t no good at it and when you gets hit with a 20 or you rolls a 1 it falls off. You gots a 3 in 6 shot at makin’ any magic doohickie do its thing but if ya rolls a 6 something real bad gonna go down, see? SPECIAL ABILITIES Little: You ain’t gonna admit, but you are a wee thing and folks has trouble catchin’ you. Anybody what’s human size or bigger gots a fat -2 to all attack rolls against you. Lizard Luck: Sometimes the crazy universe has a heart an’ smiles luck down on you like sweet rain. If things go south, you can petition the big ole ‘verse howevers you like and if you makes yer savin’ throw vs. Spells somethin’ real good gonna go down. ‘Course… if you was to fail the save real bad… well, the ‘verse ain’t gonna do you no good at all. Honey Magnet: You a boss in the dungeons, but you also a boss with the honeys. When you see a lovely honey you can woo her (or him) with witty witticisms. Roll a d20 and if you gets a fat 20 then she’s all into you like you done cast a charm person spell on her. But if you blows the roll she ain’t gonna hear no more of it.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Vaughn Bodē, born today in 1941. Bodē was an American underground cartoonist and illustrator known for his character Cheech Wizard. His self-published Das Kämpf, considered one of the first underground comic books. #VaughnBodē

#VaughnBode Schizophrenia is 6.5x9in (165x228mm), which is "octavo" book size (digests, paperbacks, etc.). I love the feel of it and I really want to do a book in this exact size. But I bet it's non-standard. 6x9 is standard, 6.5x9 is not. #paper #book Mork Borg is A5 for comparison.
Pic of 2 books side by side. Left is Mork Borg (yellow and black, skeleton with sword and shield), right is Bode: Schizophrenia (blue with drawing of cartoon child in straight jacket hooked up by tubes). Mork Borg book on top of Schizophrenia. MB is slightly smaller at the top but more so on the side. The 6.5x9 is just a tad wider in aspect ratio, giving it a slightly roomier feel despite its small size.

Sometimes we fall down deep rabbit holes of thought. We ponder the meaning of life, how to guide society to a better future for everyone and not just rich people, and why Corey Feldman makes music. But #CheechWizard is here to simplify things and bring us down to earth. #VaughnBode
Panel from Bodé comic. Color. Cheech Wizard (a wizard hat with legs and a dingle dong) walking with a lizard in a beanie hat. Both have visible penis nubs. Cheech says "You don't got-to-know nothin' swamp shit, except basic physiological self-awareness, like where your asshole is."

This one was a quick sketch from a #VaughnBode picture. Very quickly I realized it's also #WeirdAl. They had very similar hair, after all.
Ink and marker sketch of a long-haired person with a wild look in their eyes.

I drew this #Cobalt60 a while back because what a great character! Created by the late, great #VaughnBode and continued by his son #MarkBode.
Color drawing, ink and marker. Cartoon guy in white hood mask leaps and shoots a small revolver (put punt) while a big dead monstrous dude lies blown up and ruined at his feet. Kind of a Road Runner background.

Imagine Cheech Wizard hanging out between Blondie and Hi and Lois. Two strips from Vaughn Bode's proposed "Tales of the Yellow Hat" newspaper strip. (Inked lettered and colored posthumously by his son Mark.)
