The later period of Frank Bellamy's tenure on the Garth newspaper strip is often given less regard than the earlier more detailed work but I find this work most exciting. The style, bolder and streamlined to survive the poor quality of printing and paper, still contains all of the strengths of the artists earlier work. In the strip above the line work and creases maintain a superficial 'reality' but also suggest movement as well as form-- while elegantly avoiding the cartoon extremes of other artists. (Note also the dramatic perspective of the balloon tails.)
